    "This Dove Intensive Repair Hair Mask is really good though. Highly recommend this. It was like a discovery for me last year. [...] It's quite good just for really helping to smooth and impart shine."
    ✓Yay
    "My most used hair mask by far was the Dove Intensive Repair Hair Mask. Out of all the hair products to try, you have to try this one. I'm floored at how fabulous it is; I see such a difference in the texture, [...] shine and health of my hair. I've tried so many hair masks and this is by far one of the best out there, and the fact that it's Dove makes it that much better."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Alpha hydroxy acids

    Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

    Ceramides

    Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
