What the gurus are saying

This shampoo earns consistent praise for leaving hair noticeably smoother and shinier after blow-drying, with a formula that lathers well and rinses out easily. Gurus find it works across different hair types, though one expert noted it as a future repurchase rather than an immediate must-have. The main strength is the visible difference in how hair looks and feels with regular use.

"This is the L'Oreal Metal Detox. I love this. I feel like everybody can benefit from this. Whether you color your hair or not, there's a lot of crap in our water. Whether you live in the city or if you live somewhere else and you're on well water, there's a lot of stuff in our water. It's not 100% pure. Even if you get a filter, yes, that is good. And I have a filter on my shower head and I do believe it does help a lot, but I don't feel like it probably filters everything 100%."

"And every time I use this, my hair looks and feels a lot different after I have blow dried my hair. It gets the film out of the hair. It actually brightens up my hair as well. Like when I'm blonde, it does brass out pretty quickly. And I find that if I don't want to use purple shampoo, I will use this. It takes a layer of that film that was dulling out my hair and giving that brass to my hair and it just gets rid of it and it just brings more of that freshness back to my blonde."

"I don't color treat my hair, I've never had Balayage before, I don't dye my hair, so these aren't really intended for me, but it's not as though you can't use them if you don't have color treated hair. [...] I really really like these and they lasted me a long time. The shampoo generates a nice lather and rinses out easily. [...] You don't need a ton of shampoo to adequately cleanse your scalp and it left my hair silky smooth, glossy, manageable."

What the evidence says.

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

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
