Phytocyane revitalizing treatment serum reviews
- This serum is more effective than any other offered by Phyto. It has kept my hair from thinning further, and I don't seem to have as much grey popping out. I wish it's in a more user-friendly container! Breaking of the glass bottle and putting on the rubber nozzle is challenging and borderline dangerous! (E Y reviewed on Phyto)
- I went through a weird hormonal, stress hair loss. I freaked out, saw some good reviews about Phyto, and went for it. It started to work after a month. That may sound like a long time, but let's get real, it's hair. When it did come through it was thicker, and had a little curl to it that I liked. DON'T USE THE WHOLE CAPSULE IN ONE GO. I broke it down to twice or three usages, more times a week, and it won't work if you are not using regularly. It does work, and it saved me. I'm going to buy some again just to make my hair fuller but I will have to wait since they jacked the price up. That's the only bummer. (Tomahawk Jack reviewed on Ulta)
- This was such a waste of money. I bought it thinking it would give me regrowth as it states it helps people with alopecia. I do not have that but I noticed a lot of hair fall. This has not helped me at all, my hair is weak and thin, and I feel as though this just made me lose more hair. (Hnnn900 · reviewed on Cult Beauty)
- I decided to try the PHYTOCYANE SERUM next because I thought perhaps my thinning was increased by stress. I hated the packaging. The little ampules were difficult to. break open and the tip attachment did not stay on tight causing the product to leak everywhere. I also did not see any improvements to my hair. I finished the entire box. I will not repurchase. (JoeyJoey reviewed on MakeupAlley)
Phytocyane shampoo reviews
Most reviews are not that positive for the shampoo though with so-so results and pricey cost.
Pros of Phytocyane shampoo
- I found that the shampoo is REALLY deep cleaning and has a tendency to be on the drying-side. Therefore even though I normally wash my hair every day, using Phytocyane I can reduce to washing my hair 4-5 times a week, conditioning only on my tips. 1 bottle of Phyto shampoo lasts me a little over a month like this, plus once a week I use my normal shampoo. Also, I have done more oil/masque treatments because of dryness. As the instructions say, lather up and let it sit for about 2 minutes. I have also been very diligent about vitamin supplements, taking them for 2 months, skipping 1, and now I'm back on them. (nycgirl191 reviewed on MakeupAlley)
Cons of Phytocyane shampoo
- This shampoo is just so-so. It prevents my hair from falling out; however, there are a few things I do not like about this. It has a smell very medicinal or chemical-like which lingers in my hair. It has a very runny water-like texture so I feel like I waste a lot of the product because it seeps out of my palm. It does not give me as much volume (my hair is flat and greasy in a few hours). It dries out my ends. That being said, the first bottle I used in conjunction with the Phytocyane Revitalizing Serum and the combo together was fantastic! On its own not so much. For better results on its own without the drying effects and that gives me more volume, I much prefer Ducray Anaphase Cream Shampoo. That stuff is superb! This one, however, is a no go for me. (CharismaSL reviewed on MakeupAlley)
- Phytocyane has a water-like texture, but you quickly get used to how fast the shampoo runs out of the bottle. I think that reducing my stress did more to stop hair loss than this shampoo did. But this shampoo has a very luxurious lather and it's a great gentle clarifier for my hair. It doesn't strip my hair like Suave's clarifying shampoo, but Phytocyane is also about twenty-six times more expensive. I didn't use it every day (nor did I use the matching ampoules with much regularity), so I don't know if it'll grow your hair back. But I enjoyed the effect it had on my hair and scalp, so I'd buy it again if I won the lottery. (ImaPhek reviewed on MakeupAlley)
History of Phyto
Patrick Alès is the brainchild of Phyto. In 1964, he invented the use of blow-dry (different from hairdryer which was old technology) that temporarily shape hair by brushing it wet while heating it with a hand dryer.
In 1967, he also invented the concept of Phytotherathrie, which is hair care using plants. (Phyto = plants, thera = care, thrie = hair)
He brings together science and nature, he extracted powerful active ingredients from plants to treat hair, while respecting its natural balance.
