VIVELAB Revi Solution Anti Hair Loss Scalp Shampoo 300ml

Values: 100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) · Fragrance-Free: not confirmed either way · Microplastic-Free: Yes · Vegan-Friendly*/Halal-Friendly* (self-assessed, see Section 26).

Seeing more hair collect in the drain is one of those things that triggers real anxiety long before it's visible to anyone else, and reaching for an "anti-hair-loss shampoo" is a very natural first response to that anxiety. This product is a reasonable, low-risk step to take — it is not going to reverse genetic or hormonal hair loss on its own, and persistent, patchy, or painful shedding still needs a dermatologist, not a stronger shampoo.

Pros: genuinely sulfate-free surfactant system (glucosides, betaine, sulfosuccinate — no SLS/SLES/ALS found); a real, high-percentage Hinoki water base rather than a fragrance-water filler; caffeine disclosed at a real, verifiable 1% concentration; silicone- and paraben-free as far as the INCI we could access shows.

Caveats: the headline "54.6% shedding reduction" clinical figure has no disclosed study institution or sample size; several of the brand's most-marketed actives (Biotin, Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide) were not confirmed in the ingredient list we were able to retrieve; the "German Derma Test" and "vegan certification" claims have no certificate number attached that we could find.

In Mauritius heat, a scalp that feels oily by midday is usually doing its job — sebum regulating moisture and protecting the follicle, not evidence of being "dirty." Washing more than once daily, or scrubbing hard out of shedding-anxiety, strips that sebum faster than the scalp can replace it, which can trigger compensatory oil overproduction — the same rebound cycle seen on facial skin, just playing out on the scalp instead.

This shampoo's glucoside/betaine/sulfosuccinate surfactant blend is milder than a classic SLS/SLES system, which helps break that cycle: it lifts sebum and product buildup without over-stripping, so a genuinely-needed daily wash is less likely to spiral into the rebound-oiliness pattern than a harsher clarifying shampoo used at the same frequency.

Classification: GREEN — nothing in this formula is restricted by age. Its confirmed actives (Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water, Caffeine, Piroctone Olamine, Centella, licorice root, green tea, rosemary) are all standard general-cosmetic scalp-care ingredients with no age-specific safety concern in a rinse-off product.

In practice, noticeable hair-shedding anxiety is uncommon before the late teens outside specific medical conditions, so this remains an adult-purchased product with no youth-targeted marketing or packaging to flag.

Step 1 — When: AM or PM, whichever fits your shower routine — both are equally valid since it's rinsed off.

Step 2 — How much: a coin-to-palm-size amount for shoulder-length hair, scaled up for longer or thicker hair.

Step 3 — How: massage into a fully wet scalp with fingertip pads for 30-60 seconds, then rinse completely before conditioner.

"Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product."

1. Wet hair and scalp fully with warm (not hot) water.
2. VIVELAB Revi Solution Anti Hair Loss Scalp Shampoo — massage into the scalp for 30-60 seconds, rinse completely.
3. Follow with a conditioner applied mid-length to ends (see Section 15 for stock-true pairings).
4. Towel-dry gently — vigorous rubbing roughens the hair cuticle.

In Mauritius morning humidity, hair that air-dries picks up ambient moisture readily, so a lightweight conditioner usually performs better than a rich one if you're showering right before heading out.

1. Wet hair and scalp fully.
2. VIVELAB Revi Solution Anti Hair Loss Scalp Shampoo — massage into the scalp for 30-60 seconds, rinse completely.
3. Conditioner, mid-length to ends.
4. If using a leave-on scalp ampoule or tonic (see Section 15), apply it to a towel-dried, damp scalp before bed so it has hours of contact time instead of being washed away the next morning.

An evening wash also clears the day's sweat and sugar-cane-season particulate before you sleep, which matters more in Mauritius than in a drier climate.

Technique: massage into the scalp with fingertip pads in small circles — the opposite of the "don't rub" rule used for facial actives, since gentle scalp massage is the correct technique here.

Required state: hair and scalp fully saturated with water first; applying to dry hair lathers unevenly and wastes product.

Wait time: 30-60 seconds of scalp contact lets the surfactant system lift oil and buildup; beyond about 2 minutes offers no extra benefit, only extra exposure time to the cleansing agents.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global execution rules: viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals.

• Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if going outdoors or applying makeup.
• Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen 2-finger rule for face, +1 finger for neck.
• Skin state rules: hydrators best on slightly damp skin; retinoids best on fully dry skin; exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp skin — keep to one lane.
• Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

This shampoo sits outside this facial-skincare stack entirely — it is a shower-time hair/scalp-wash step, run alongside (not layered into) the facial AM/PM sequence above.

"Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night."

One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure: default to the safest lane = barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.

As a rinse-off shampoo, this product does not participate in a facial layering ladder — it goes on wet hair, gets massaged in, and rinses away within roughly a minute, before any leave-on hair or skin product follows.

The only sequencing rule that matters here is shampoo-before-conditioner: cleansing first clears the scalp and opens the hair cuticle so the heavier conditioner phase deposits evenly afterward rather than sitting on top of leftover buildup.

Rest days: if the scalp starts feeling tight, flaky, or itchy after several consecutive days, that signals over-cleansing (Section 2), not a need to wash more.

Overuse warning: washing more than once daily does NOT clear buildup faster — it produces the rebound-oiliness and irritation cycle described above.

Prerequisites: none required — this is a standard daily-use rinse-off shampoo, not an active-strength leave-on product needing a prepared routine underneath it.

Diffuse daily shedding / thinning-feeling hair: the marketed "10 patented anti-hair-loss ingredients" complex is positioned to support the follicle environment, while Piroctone Olamine and the high-percentage Hinoki water base help clear buildup that can otherwise sit around the follicle mouth.

Oily, congested scalp: the confirmed surfactant system (glucosides, betaine, sulfosuccinate) clears excess sebum without the harsh stripping of classic sulfates, and Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water is a genuinely high-concentration (35.6%) ingredient rather than a trace botanical.

What this product cannot do: it cannot reverse androgenetic (pattern) hair loss, cannot regrow hair lost to scarring alopecia, and cannot substitute for a medical workup if shedding is sudden or severe — no cosmetic shampoo can.

Primary pairing — CP-1 Ginger Purifying Conditioner 500ml: a scalp-refreshing conditioner rather than a lengths-only formula, so it complements this shampoo's scalp-first positioning. Use PM, mid-length to ends, right after this shampoo.

Alternatives (verified in stock): Medicube Rosemary PDRN Hair & Scalp Conditioner 250ml (rosemary is a well-known hair-growth-associated botanical, thematically aligned); Aromatica Rosemary Hair Thickening Conditioner 180ml (lighter, thickening-focused, low stock — check availability).

Leave-on scalp support (primary): SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Tonic 150ml, applied PM after this shampoo to a towel-dried, damp scalp. Alternatives: NINE LESS Root-Biome Caffeine Scalp Ampoule; Medicube Roseymary PDRN Scalp Serum 20ml; VT PDRN Reedle Shot Hair Ampoule 100DL 15ml.

Weekly add-on (primary): Seapuri Scalpy Bubble Tonic 100ml, used once weekly as a pre-shampoo treatment. Alternatives: GROWUS Sea Salt Therapy Scalp Scaler 250g (low stock); Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scrub 165g (low stock).

Pilling note: not applicable — this is a rinse-off product with no leave-on layering step where pilling occurs.

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can push hair follicles prematurely out of the growth (anagen) phase and into the shedding (telogen) phase — a real, documented phenomenon called telogen effluvium, distinct from genetic pattern hair loss.

If your shedding tracks closely with a specific stressful period (exams, a health event, a major life change) rather than being constant, this mechanism — not a product deficiency — is the more likely explanation, and a gentle daily shampoo like this one supports the scalp environment without being able to address the underlying stress-cortisol driver on its own.

MYTH: "An anti-hair-loss shampoo alone can regrow hair." REALITY: shampoo contact time is roughly 30-60 seconds before rinsing — nowhere near long enough for any active to meaningfully drive follicle-level regrowth; a shampoo supports the scalp environment, it does not function like a leave-on treatment.

MYTH: "10 patented ingredients means 10x the effect." REALITY: "patented" describes a legal formulation-technology claim, not a guaranteed clinical outcome — patents are granted for novelty, not for proven efficacy at the doses actually used.

MYTH: "Washing daily instead of every other day stops the shedding faster." REALITY: over-washing triggers the rebound-oiliness and irritation cycle covered in Section 2 — it does not accelerate results.

Sugar cane burning season (July-November): increased airborne PM2.5 settles onto the scalp and into hair over the day; an evening wash rather than a morning-only one helps clear this before sleep.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region — hard water can leave a mineral film that dulls hair and makes it feel coarse; if hair feels straw-like after washing regardless of product, that's very likely a water-hardness issue rather than this shampoo.

*These ingredients sit at a lower evidence tier specifically for the scalp/hair-shedding application via a rinse-off product — this does not mean they're ineffective, it means the evidence base is thinner and, for several of them, largely brand-generated rather than independently peer-reviewed for this exact use.

Full INCI (as retrieved): Water (Aqua), Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water (356,000ppm), Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamide MIPA, Lauryl Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Caffeine (10,000ppm), [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Glycerin, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Lauryl Glucoside, Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Methylaminopropionate, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Chloride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract (Beer Yeast Extract), Octyldodecanol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ceramide NP, Caprylyl Glycol, Piroctone Olamine, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Buxus Microphylla Leaf/Stem Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, and other ingredients not disclosed in the retailer source we could access.

*This 1% line is estimated from Caffeine's brand-disclosed 10,000ppm concentration and its position right after the primary surfactant blend — it is not a lab-confirmed measurement. Important honesty note: Biotin, Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, and Dexpanthenol are named repeatedly in this product's marketing copy across multiple retailers, but none of the four appeared by name in the INCI list we were able to retrieve, which was itself explicitly truncated ("and other ingredients"). We are not asserting these actives are absent — only that we could not independently confirm their presence, position, or concentration in this research pass, and we are flagging that gap rather than silently including them as confirmed facts.

Preservative system: 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylyl Glycol — a modern glycol-based preservative pairing; no parabens found in the INCI portion we accessed.

Fragrance status: not confirmed either way. No "Parfum"/"Fragrance" entry appeared in the INCI portion we retrieved, but that list is explicitly incomplete ("and other ingredients"), so we cannot state this is Fragrance-Free with confidence.

Scent description: not independently verified; retailer marketing does not make a specific scent claim beyond general "fresh/clean" positioning.

EU 26 allergen screen: none of the 26 EU-recognized fragrance allergens were identified by name in the INCI portion we accessed — but given the list is incomplete, treat this as "none found," not "confirmed absent."

*Based on a retailer-sourced, explicitly truncated INCI list. If the full label lists "Parfum"/"Fragrance," it may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for fragrance-sensitive individuals regardless.

Alcohol disclosure: no drying alcohol (Alcohol Denat./Ethanol) found in the INCI portion we accessed — Octyldodecanol present is a fatty alcohol, which is moisturizing/emollient rather than drying.

Ragweed/Asteraceae family allergy: this formula's captured INCI includes Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (chamomile). Chamomile shares sesquiterpene-lactone allergens with ragweed, daisies, and other Asteraceae-family plants, so cross-reactive contact irritation is possible if you have a known ragweed or daisy-family allergy. Patch test behind the ear or on the inner forearm for 24 hours before applying to your full scalp if this applies to you.

Aspirin/salicylate sensitivity: multiple retailers list Salicylic Acid among this product's marketed actives, though we could not independently confirm its presence in the captured INCI (see Section 23's honesty note). If you have a diagnosed aspirin or salicylate sensitivity, treat this as a genuine open question rather than an assumed absence — patch test first, or choose a confirmed-salicylate-free wash if you prefer certainty.

No other cross-reactivity-flagged ingredients (Snail Secretion Filtrate, Propolis/Royal Jelly/Bee Venom, Papaya Enzyme, Chitosan) were found in the captured INCI.

Halal: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list we could access. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: the brand claims "Korean vegan certification" across multiple retailer listings, but no certifying body name or certificate number was found during this research pass. *Treated here as self-assessed rather than certified: no animal-derived ingredients were detected in the INCI portion we accessed. This is NOT a confirmed formal vegan certification by a named third-party body.

Cruelty-Free: no formal third-party cruelty-free certification (Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent) was found for this brand during our research, and no explicit brand-stated cruelty-free policy was found for this SKU either — we cannot make a cruelty-free claim of any kind, certified or self-assessed, without a source to point to.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — no listed polymer microbeads or particulate microplastics found in the INCI portion we accessed.

MFDS classification: multiple independent retailers describe this as a "functional shampoo to relieve hair-loss symptoms" (Korea's 탈모증상완화 functional-cosmetic category), and its marketed actives overlap with ingredients MFDS recognizes for that category — but no MFDS registration/notification number was found for this exact SKU, so we are not asserting a confirmed Functional classification.

Brand clinical claims: "54.6% reduction in hair shedding," "86.9% reduction in scalp keratin/flaking," and "58.2% improvement in scalp calming," all after 4 weeks of use, repeated consistently across multiple independent retailer listings.

*These are brand-stated marketing claims. No independently published study institution, sample size, or peer-reviewed methodology was found anywhere during our research — treat them as marketing-only evidence, not independently verified clinical results.

"German Derma Test excellent grade": a brand-stated testing claim repeated across retailers. *No certificate number, report ID, or testing protocol was found — treat as a claim-only assertion, not an independently verifiable certification.

Evidence confidence: Low/Marketing-Only* for the headline percentage claims and the German Derma Test claim; Moderate for Piroctone Olamine's general anti-dandruff role; Emerging* for Caffeine and Hinoki water's specific hair-shedding relevance.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Cocamide MIPA and Octyldodecanol are fatty-acid-derived ingredients some FA-safety lists flag as potential Malassezia food sources. Because this is a rinse-off product with brief contact time, the practical risk is far lower than a leave-on facial product — the main real-world scenario worth naming is shampoo runoff onto the upper back/chest during showering for people prone to body breakouts ("shampoo bacne"), where rinsing thoroughly and letting shampoo run off before conditioner helps.

Assessment: None. This is a rinse-off product with no leave-on layering step, so the friction/residue interaction that causes pilling in facial skincare does not apply here.

Color baseline: if the product develops an unusual off-color or separates in a way that doesn't remix with shaking, that suggests spoilage or preservative-system failure rather than normal variation.

Storage: keep out of direct sun and away from prolonged bathroom heat/humidity buildup where possible — unventilated Mauritius bathrooms can accelerate preservative breakdown over the product's open life.

Spoilage signs: a sour or notably different smell from when first opened, visible separation that doesn't remix, or a texture that turns watery/stringy. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm, leave for 24 hours, then proceed to full scalp use if no reaction occurs.

"If adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days." — for hair/scalp specifically, this means switching to a plain, fragrance-free shampoo for 72 hours before reintroducing this one.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning on the scalp, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately and discontinue use.

Pregnancy note: marketing copy for this product names Salicylic Acid among its actives, though we could not independently confirm its presence or concentration in the INCI we accessed. As a rinse-off product with brief scalp contact, systemic exposure risk is low even if present at a typical low functional-cosmetic dose — but pregnant or nursing customers who prefer to avoid all salicylic acid exposure out of caution should consult their doctor before use, or choose a salicylic-acid-free wash instead.

1. Washing more than once daily hoping to "starve" the shedding faster — it does the opposite (Section 2).
2. Applying shampoo to dry hair, which lathers unevenly and wastes product.
3. Scrubbing with fingernails instead of fingertip pads, which can irritate an already-sensitized scalp.
4. Judging results from a single wash instead of tracking shed count over several weeks, matching the brand's own 4-week testing window.
5. Skipping conditioner entirely because "it's a scalp product" — hair lengths still need conditioning even when the shampoo is scalp-focused.

Overuse threshold: daily use is the intended frequency; washing multiple times per day adds no benefit and risks the over-cleansing cycle described above.

Usage math: at roughly a coin-to-palm-size amount per wash (approximately 5-10ml), a 300ml bottle provides roughly 30-60 washes.

Lifespan: used once daily, that's approximately 1-2 months; used every other day, closer to 2-4 months. Washing more than once daily (not recommended, see Section 2) shortens this without improving results.

Reorder timing: consider reordering roughly 2 weeks before you expect the bottle to run out, to allow for delivery time.

This shampoo is the cleansing anchor of a scalp-first hair routine — its job is to clear buildup and support the follicle environment, not to condition or add shine, which is why pairing it with a real conditioner matters more than usual.

AM/PM routine:

1. Wet hair fully.
2. VIVELAB Revi Solution shampoo — massage into scalp 30-60s, rinse.
3. Conditioner, mid-length to ends, wait 1-3 minutes per its instructions, rinse.
4. Optional: weekly, use a pre-shampoo scalp tonic/scaler instead of after.

If your scalp is already irritated or flaking from a recent chemical service (color, perm, relaxer): wait until it has calmed rather than introducing this or any active-containing shampoo immediately.

If you are showering right before an outdoor commute in Mauritius humidity: use a lighter conditioner rather than a heavy one, since humid air will add its own moisture back into damp hair.

Stock-true bundle — "Scalp Reset Routine": this shampoo + CP-1 Ginger Purifying Conditioner (daily conditioning) + Seapuri Scalpy Bubble Tonic (weekly pre-shampoo deep-cleanse).

Stock-true bundle — "Leave-On Support Routine": this shampoo + Medicube Rosemary PDRN Hair & Scalp Conditioner + SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Tonic for a nightly leave-on layer on top of the daily wash.

"After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth."

"The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with VIVELAB Revi Solution Anti Hair Loss Scalp Shampoo, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first."

If you want a shampoo the retailer network describes with a more explicit MFDS functional-cosmetic registration story for anti-hair-loss claims, hetras Simkong Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo (Daisy, 1,013ml) is verified in stock and built on caffeine, biotin, and a multi-ingredient complex — a real formulation and volume trade-off worth knowing about (much larger bottle, different botanical direction).

Additional verified-in-stock alternatives: SOME BY MI Cica Peptide Anti Hair Loss Derma Scalp Shampoo 285ml (Centella-led, amino-acid surfactant base); NINE LESS Root-Biome Caffeine Scalp Shampoo (caffeine/niacinamide/adenosine-led); Medicube Rosemary PDRN Cooling Thickening Shampoo 400ml (rosemary/PDRN-led, cooling finish).

Choose VIVELAB Revi Solution over hetras Simkong if you need a compact 300ml size to trial the formula, plus a genuinely high-percentage (35.6%) Hinoki water base for a light, non-heavy wash-day feel — choose Simkong instead if you specifically want a larger-volume bottle with an established MFDS-style functional-shampoo positioning.

Upgrade triggers (choose Revi Solution if): you want to trial an anti-hair-loss shampoo without committing to a liter-sized bottle; you specifically dislike heavier, richer-lather shampoos in humid weather; you are comfortable with a brand-marketing-only clinical claim rather than a confirmed MFDS registration.

Don't switch to Revi Solution if: you specifically want confirmed MFDS-registered functional-cosmetic backing for an anti-hair-loss claim (favor Simkong on that specific point); you want the most economical per-wash volume (Simkong's 1,013ml is far larger); your scalp is already sensitized and you'd rather avoid a formula with an unconfirmed salicylic-acid claim.

If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and safer. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's primary function is: daily scalp cleansing with mild anti-shedding support actives. You do NOT need this if you already own an unfinished bottle of another sulfate-free scalp/anti-hair-loss shampoo — finish that one first rather than starting a second, since buying a redundant bottle before the current one is empty is simply waste.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit — running two different "anti-hair-loss" shampoos in rotation does not double the effect, since both address the same rinse-off, short-contact-time scalp environment.

Brand: ViveLab. Headquarters: South Korea (exact registered entity and founding year not publicly confirmed during this research pass). Hero product line: the "ActiveGrow BP7" biotin-plus-peptide shampoo family sold on the brand's own Korean storefront and via Amazon internationally, alongside the separate Revi Solution anti-hair-loss line this product belongs to.

ViveLab positions itself as a scalp-first, functional hair-care brand across several sub-lines (Active Biotin Peptide Solution, Revi Solution, a microneedling-style scalp serum, and lash/brow peptide serums), consistently marketing named, "patented" technology stories and brand-generated percentage claims rather than pointing to independently published clinical research.

Community reviews for this exact product were not fully accessible during this research pass. The web-page-fetching tool used for this research was blocked from reaching nearly every relevant source — the brand's own Korean storefront, the dedicated Hwahae (화해) reviews page for this SKU, Olive Young Global, YesStyle, and every retailer listing we tried — so only search-engine result summaries were retrievable, not full review text.

What we could confirm: a search of the brand's own Korean-language review section surfaced the existence of at least one real customer review title for this exact product (roughly translating to "feels like less hair is falling out — good"), but we could not open the page to read the full review, confirm a rating, or identify the reviewer's hair/scalp type. A dedicated Hwahae reviews page for this exact SKU also exists per search results, but was similarly unreadable in this pass.

We are stating this plainly rather than inventing plausible-sounding quotes: real reviews likely exist for this product, but we were not able to independently verify their content, sentiment balance, or volume in this research pass — this is a genuine research gap, not evidence that reviews don't exist.

Sustainability: check your local recycling guidance for the bottle material; the brand does not publish a refill or take-back program that we found.

Can this shampoo alone regrow hair or reverse hair loss? No. A shampoo has roughly 30-60 seconds of scalp contact before rinsing, which is not enough time for any active to meaningfully drive follicle-level regrowth; this is scalp-care support, not a hair-growth treatment.

Is it actually sulfate-free? Yes, based on the INCI we accessed — it uses Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate plus glucoside and betaine co-surfactants instead of Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate.

Is the "54.6% shedding reduction" claim real? It's a real brand-stated number repeated across multiple retailers, but we could not find any independently published study, sample size, or methodology behind it — treat it as a marketing claim, not an independently verified clinical result.

Does it contain Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Biotin, and Dexpanthenol as advertised? Retailer marketing names all four, but none appeared in the ingredient list we were able to retrieve (which was itself incomplete). We can't confirm or deny their presence with confidence — this is an open question we're flagging honestly rather than guessing.

Is it safe to use every day? For most oily-to-normal scalps, yes — that's the brand's intended use pattern. If your scalp is dry or flaky, every-other-day use is safer (see Section 2).

Best for: people with normal-to-oily scalps who notice ordinary daily shedding and want a sulfate-free, lightweight shampoo built around a high-percentage Hinoki water base plus a caffeine-and-botanical support story, in a compact 300ml trial-friendly size.

Key benefits: genuinely sulfate- and silicone-free surfactant system; a real, verifiable 1% Caffeine and 35.6% Hinoki water content rather than trace-level fairy dusting; a real anti-dandruff active (Piroctone Olamine) alongside the marketed hair-loss story.

Keep in mind: the brand's headline percentage claims and "German Derma Test"/vegan-certification claims are marketing-only, not independently verified; several marketed actives (Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Biotin, Dexpanthenol) could not be confirmed in the INCI we accessed; no MFDS functional-cosmetic registration was confirmed for this SKU.

Impact: Neutral to Supportive. This formula contains Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract (Beer Yeast Extract) — a postbiotic/ferment-adjacent ingredient, meaning fermentation-derived metabolites applied to the scalp, not live yeast.

Ferment filtrates like this are marketed for scalp nourishment and are generally considered scalp-microbiome-neutral-to-supportive rather than disruptive; any mild yeasty character it might carry is not something we could independently verify given we could not access a description of the product's actual scent.
