Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
One expert found it genuinely effective at repairing colored hair and appreciated the paired shampoo and conditioner, though the high citric acid concentration means it's best used sparingly, around once a month, to avoid throwing hair's pH balance off. However, another expert felt it didn't deliver enough for the price and wouldn't repurchase, so there's real disagreement on whether this one's worth the investment.
