Revivogen MD Bio-Cleansing Shampoo 360ml

Product Summary

Revivogen MD Bio-Cleansing Shampoo is a sulfate-free daily shampoo made for fine and thinning hair. It lifts sebum and styling buildup off the scalp without stripping it, and leaves fine strands with more body. The label reads "Shampooing Gentle Deep Cleanser, For Fine and Thinning Hair, Dermatologist Formulated". One 360 ml bottle.

Product Overview

Fine and thinning hair has a specific problem: the scalp still produces oil, but there is less hair to carry it away, so the roots go flat and greasy quickly. A harsh detergent shampoo solves that by stripping everything, which leaves the scalp tight and irritated. This one uses a mild sugar-derived cleansing base instead, so it can be used often without that stripped feeling.

Revivogen MD builds the formula around saw palmetto fruit extract and gamma and alpha linolenic acid, ingredients the brand selects for their reported activity on 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. It is worth being straight about this: independent evidence that a rinse-off shampoo meaningfully changes scalp DHT is limited. The dependable job this bottle does is cleansing and scalp preparation, which is exactly what you want before a leave-on serum such as Revivogen MD Scalp Therapy goes on.

Jojoba seed oil, aloe vera, panthenol and allantoin sit alongside the cleansers to keep the scalp comfortable, while hydrolysed silk and hydrolysed soy protein give fine hair a little more substance.

Key Benefits

• Cleans the scalp, not just the hair. Removes sebum, sweat and styling buildup that weigh fine hair down at the root.
• Sulfate-free and gentle enough for daily use. No SLS or SLES, so the scalp is not left tight and itchy after washing.
• Prepares the scalp for a leave-on treatment. A clean scalp is the point of this step if you also use Revivogen MD Scalp Therapy.
• Addresses flaking and buildup. Zinc pyrithione and selenium sulfide are included in the formula.
• Adds body to fine strands. Panthenol, hydrolysed silk and hydrolysed soy protein help hair feel fuller after drying.
• Comforts the scalp. Jojoba oil, aloe vera and allantoin soothe, with menthol giving a light cooling finish.

How To Use

1. Wet hair and scalp thoroughly with warm water.
2. Pour a small amount into your palm and apply it generously to the scalp, not only to the lengths.
3. Massage into the scalp and hair to build a full lather. Add more as needed to reach the whole scalp.
4. Leave the lather on the scalp for at least one minute.
5. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat the wash if the scalp still feels oily.
6. Follow with Revivogen MD Thickening Conditioner on the lengths, then apply your leave-on scalp treatment to a towel-dried scalp.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse with water if it gets in.

Before You Buy, Two Honest Notes

The preservative system is methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI), a recognised contact allergen. If you have ever reacted to an isothiazolinone preservative, this is not the shampoo for you. The formula also contains zinc pyrithione and selenium sulfide, which are the same actives used in medicated anti-dandruff shampoos. If you are already using one on prescription or on a pharmacist's advice, speak to them before running both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Revivogen MD Bio-Cleansing Shampoo sulfate-free?

Yes. The cleansing base is decyl glucoside with disodium cocoamphodiacetate and cocamidopropyl betaine. There is no sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate in the formula, which is why it lathers more softly than a supermarket shampoo.

How often should I use it?

It is formulated for daily or every-other-day use. Apply it to the scalp rather than only to the lengths, leave the lather on for about a minute, then rinse. Repeat the wash if your scalp is oily or you have used styling product.

Do I have to use it with Revivogen MD Scalp Therapy?

No, but the two are designed to work together. The shampoo clears sebum and product buildup so the scalp is clean before a leave-on serum goes on. Many people use the shampoo on its own simply as a gentle cleanser for fine hair.

Will this shampoo regrow hair on its own?

Treat it as scalp preparation and cleansing, not as a standalone treatment. Revivogen MD selects saw palmetto extract and gamma and alpha linolenic acid for their reported effect on 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme behind DHT. Evidence that any rinse-off shampoo meaningfully changes scalp DHT is limited, so results depend on the wider routine and on what is actually causing the thinning.

Is it suitable for coloured or chemically treated hair?

The formula is gentle and sulfate-free, which is generally kinder to colour than a strong detergent shampoo. It does contain zinc pyrithione and selenium sulfide, so if your colour is very fresh, wash with cool water and check how your hair responds over the first few washes.

Is there anything I should check before using it?

Yes. The preservative system is methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, which is a recognised contact allergen, so avoid it if you have reacted to isothiazolinone preservatives before. It also contains menthol, and both zinc pyrithione and selenium sulfide, which overlap with medicated anti-dandruff shampoos. If you already use one, do not stack them without asking your doctor or pharmacist.

What size is the bottle and where is it made?

One 360 ml bottle, marked 12 fl oz / 360 ml on the label. Revivogen MD states the product is made in the USA. EMIS+ ships it island-wide in Singapore.
