My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Kérastase Regenerating Cream is mainly intended for very damaged, sensitized, or lifeless hair. In my professional opinion, this Kérastase product aims to restore the hair fiber, strengthen the hair structure, and add softness and shine. Its rich and nourishing formula makes it an ideal choice for hair exposed to chemical damage (coloring, bleaching), heat damage (straightening, blow-drying), or environmental damage. In my opinion, the formula, which is designed for intense repair, effectively meets the needs of fragile and brittle hair.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Ceramides : They play a fundamental role in rebuilding the hair's lipid barrier, limiting moisture loss and strengthening cuticle cohesion. Their action helps restore the hair fiber's strength and suppleness.
• Vegetable oils (Argan, Camellia, Soybean, Corn) Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, they intensely nourish, add shine and softness, while protecting against external aggressions.
• Amla extract (Phyllanthus Emblica) : This plant-based ingredient is known for its antioxidant and strengthening properties, helping to revitalize hair and prevent breakage.

The synergy of these active ingredients makes this treatment remarkably effective at repairing and protecting severely damaged hair.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying Kérastase Regenerating Cream after shampooing, to towel-dried hair, focusing on the lengths and ends. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This treatment is best used once or twice a week. It is compatible with mild shampoos and moisturizers, but I do not recommend using it immediately after products with excessive protein content, to avoid overloading the hair.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strengths of this product lie in its ability to repair, nourish, and protect the hair fiber thanks to a combination of effective active ingredients. The rich texture makes detangling easier and leaves hair soft and shiny. One downside: the presence of fragrance and potential allergens, which should be monitored in sensitive scalps. In conclusion, this is an expert treatment that is effective in regenerating very damaged hair.
