An intensive leave-in treatment designed for sensitive, irritated or reactive scalps. This professional-grade ampoule programme works to soothe scalp discomfort, including redness, itching and burning, while reinforcing the scalp’s barrier and protecting against oxidative stress. Ideal for when the scalp is under stress (from seasonal change, styling, treatments or environmental aggressors), this cure brings comfort and prepares the scalp for stronger, healthier hair-growth.
Key Benefits: Instantly calms the scalp; soothes irritation, redness and itchiness. Restores suppleness and balance to the scalp – bringing back comfort and elasticity. Protects the scalp from external aggressors and oxidative stress (via AOX-complex and antioxidant ingredients). Lightweight leave-in ampoule formula: easy to apply, no rinse required.
Format: 10 ampoules × 6 ml each (10 × 6 ml) — a 4-week intensive programme.
Key Ingredients: PS 21 (5 000 ppm) – proprietary soothing molecule formulated to comfort the scalp and reduce sensations of discomfort.
Rhamnose – a plant-sugar (vegetable origin) that supports scalp cell renewal and improves resilience.
AOX Complex / Antioxidant System (including Moringa seed extract, Vitamin E / Tocopherol) – protects against oxidative stress and external aggressors.
Glycerin – hydrates the scalp, restores moisture and improves barrier comfort.
How to Use: Use one ampoule daily on dry or towel-dried scalp. (Some sources indicate 3 ampoules per week for 4 weeks – check region-specific instructions).
Apply directly on the scalp, section hair, apply the liquid from the applicator, and massage into the scalp with fingertips. Do not rinse—leave-in treatment.
For best results, complete the full programme of 10 ampoules (10 × 6 ml). Follow with your usual system-care as recommended.
Hair & Scalp Concern: Formulated for sensitive or irritated scalp (itchy, red, burning, reactive). Suitable for all hair types requiring scalp comfort, not just those with actual hair-loss.
What It’s Not: This is not a fortifying or anti-hair-fall cure (that addresses root‐anchorage or breakage) — this treatment is specifically for scalp comfort and soothing.
It’s not a rinse-out mask or conditioning step; it is a leave-in intensive cure.
Why It Works (Science): The Cure Apaisante formula uses a targeted blend of soothing and protective actives (PS21, Rhamnose, AOX Complex, Glycerin) to act on the scalp environment: calming inflammatory-type sensations, hydrating the surface, protecting from oxidative and external aggressors, and thereby restoring a favourable environment for healthier hair-growth. The format in ampoule form allows concentrated delivery and minimal residue.
Usage: Intensive 4-week programme (or daily until pack used) depending on scalp condition and region. Leave-in, no rinse.
Perfect Pairing: For best scalp comfort and hair care synergy, pair this cure with other products from the Genesis or Specifique range of Kérastase, such as their soothing shampoos or conditioners for sensitive scalp areas, to fully support scalp balance + fibre resilience.
