Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo 250ml for Buildup & Oil Removal

This deep cleansing shampoo is an essential treatment for anyone grappling with product buildup from styling gels, sprays, and dry shampoos that can weigh hair down and leave it looking dull. If your hair feels greasy quickly, lacks bounce, or struggles to absorb conditioners and treatments, Redken's Hair Cleansing Cream is formulated specifically for you.

It's particularly beneficial for individuals exposed to environmental pollutants, which can cling to hair strands and compromise scalp health. Whether you have oily, fine, thick, or even color-treated hair, if you're seeking a refreshed scalp and hair that truly feels clean and ready for a fresh start, this clarifying shampoo is your go-to solution.

Those who regularly use heavier hair products or simply want to press the reset button on their hair's condition will find this shampoo invaluable. It helps to restore hair's natural vitality and shine, providing a clean canvas for your regular hair care routine.

To effectively remove buildup and revitalise your hair, start by thoroughly wetting your hair. Dispense a generous amount of Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo into your palms and work it into a rich lather. Focus on massaging the shampoo into your scalp and roots, where product buildup and oil tend to accumulate most.

Allow the lather to sit on your hair for 1-2 minutes to allow the active ingredients to penetrate and break down impurities. This brief pause helps to maximize the clarifying benefits, ensuring a deeper cleanse. Gently work the lather through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair if needed, then rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear and no residue remains.

For best results, follow with your favorite Redken conditioner or hair mask to replenish moisture and ensure your hair remains soft and manageable. This shampoo is potent, so it is recommended for use once a week or as needed to maintain optimal hair and scalp health, rather than for daily washing.

In a market often saturated with harsh cleansing agents, the Redken Hair Cleansing Cream stands out by being formulated without sulfates, a common concern for many consumers. Sulfates like Sodium Laureth Sulfate can strip hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness, frizz, and sometimes even scalp irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin or color-treated hair.

By opting for a sulfate-free formulation, this shampoo offers a gentler yet highly effective approach to deep cleansing. This means you can achieve that sought-after squeaky-clean feeling without compromising your hair's essential moisture balance or accelerating color fade. It supports a healthier hair environment, ensuring your scalp feels comfortable and your hair retains its natural luster.

While it does include synthetic fragrance for a pleasant scent experience, its thoughtful formulation avoids other common irritants such as parabens and heavy silicones, often found in clarifying shampoos. This careful ingredient selection underscores a commitment to providing a powerful cleanse that respects the integrity of your hair and scalp, making it an excellent choice for a weekly detox.

The Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo is formulated with a potent blend of ingredients designed for deep purification and revitalization. At its core is a 2% AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) Fruit Acid Complex, featuring `Citric acid`, `Saccharum officinarum extract / sugarcane extract / extrait de canne a sucre`, `Citrus limon peel extract / lemon peel extract`, and `Pyrus malus fruit extract / apple fruit extract`. These fruit acids work synergistically to gently exfoliate the scalp, break down stubborn buildup, and dissolve impurities, revealing cleaner, healthier hair.

Complementing the AHAs, `Salicylic acid` acts as a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), penetrating oil to further cleanse pores and control excess sebum on the scalp, making it particularly effective for oily conditions. The presence of `Hydroxypropyltrimonium hydrolyzed wheat protein`, identified under the beneficial category of Keratin, helps to strengthen and repair damaged hair strands, improving elasticity and overall hair health, especially after a deep cleanse.

While the formula boasts powerful purifying and fortifying benefits, it's important to note the inclusion of `Parfum` (synthetic fragrance). Although this contributes to the product's sensory experience, individuals with sensitive scalps or fragrance allergies may wish to perform a patch test. Other notable ingredients like `Cocamidopropyl betaine` and `Coco-betaine` serve as mild cleansing agents, providing a thorough lather without harsh stripping, while `Phenoxyethanol` and `Sodium benzoate` ensure the product's stability and shelf life.
