Expensive But Effective

I like this product as a pre-shampoo treatment - Rene Furterer products are a cut above most but also very expensive. Stimulating to the scalp and a little goes a long way.

Pros
  • Regular use of Rene Furterer COMPLEXE 5 can lead to thicker, stronger, and shinier hair
Cons
  • May be difficult to find online

Burn scalp: my feedback

The product came leaking so lid was not on securely. Used once as directed and within 5 minutes my scalp was burning. (Not tingling) has to take off. I requested a refund since it’s doesn’t work for me at all but come to find out not eligible. Any other hair care/beauty care stores would take this back. Very disappointed since was expensive. Do not recommend.

Pros
  • The product is formulated to improve the effectiveness of other hair care products, allowing them to penetrate the hair more deeply
Cons
  • May require consistent use to maintain results

Makes a difference!

I've already used a full bottle of this and I love it! It makes your scalp feel clean and balanced and also helps your styling products work better. It also adds shine and softness to the hair.

Pros
  • Tried and true for two decades. Hair stays cleaner longer and with volume. So fresh, so clean!!
Cons
  • May not work for all hair types

scalp conditioner in my review

this is a great way to get oxygenation in your scalp and make it healthy again! If you have hair loss or thin hair this is a great product to use before shampooing your hair. Place on your scalp for 10 minutes before washing hair. It will feel tingly but I have had great results with this product and my hair is now thicker!

Pros
  • Rene Furterer COMPLEXE 5 can help to prevent hair loss, by strengthening hair follicles and stimulating new growth
Cons
  • May not be effective for people with extremely dry scalps

Essential product for a nice scalp $$$$

This is my first purchase from Rene Furterer, which is obviously an upmarket hair care brand$$$$The product contains a concoction of essential oils that stimulate and deep cleanse the scalp to prepare a healthy bed for hair growth. You apply this on segments of your scalp PRE-shampoo weekly or once a week. It smells like citrus and sweet orange essential oil. It does NOT leave an oily residue and washes off pretty easily. You will feel that your scalp is cleaner after shampooing it out. The…

Pros
  • Rene Furterer COMPLEXE 5 is a highly effective pre-shampoo scalp treatment
Cons
  • May cause flakes or dandruff to become more visible

Great for your scalp!

Great for the scalp, refreshing and leaves your hair soft and shiny. Excellent product and keeps your scalp in excellent condition, which in turn, keeps your hair in great condition as well. I’ve used Rene Furterur products for decades and love them! They’re expensive products, but well worth the money.

Pros
  • It is a natural alternative to harsh chemical-based scalp treatments, which can be damaging to your hair and scalp
Cons
  • May cause hair to become more prone to split ends

Great product! - my new review

Great product! I've been using it for almost two years now. Initially used it twice a week and now I use it twice a month for maintenance. My hairdresser can't believe how much thicker and fuller my hair is. It absolutely does help to regenerate new hair growth. I would recomment to anyone. Easy to use and great results!

Pros
  • Beauty & Personal Care
Cons
  • May not be effective for severe scalp conditions

Would definitely recommend!

My hair stylist continued to recommend this product and I finally bit the bullet and got it. I have enjoyed using it thus far. He did mention that the use of this product will seriously tingle my scalp, and for a few minutes almost feel like burning. He said to move through that discomfort for 10 minutes when that sensation goes away and head is ready for wash/rinse. Well, I have used per his instructions for 3 times now, and none of that sensation. The reason I like the product is not only the

Pros
  • Rene Furterer COMPLEXE 5 is backed by numerous positive reviews from satisfied customers
Cons
  • May not be recommended for children

Burning Bliss on my review.

I had never heard of this product before but I loved the bottle and spent the money after seeing the ingredients. I have a relaxer but I gave it a chance. This Girl Was on FIRE! I had no warning it would sting & burn but I endured the pain to keep the stimulation going. The next morning less shedding immediately.Its high end but worth every penny. 4 drops will do the trickJust hold on for the ride :-)

Pros
  • It is free from parabens, silicones, and SLS, making it a safe and gentle option for those with sensitive scalps
Cons
  • May not be readily available in all stores

Hairdressers review- NOT SNAKE OIL!

I’m a hairdresser of 30 years, but someone with hypothyroidism, and taking propecial for male pattern baldness, and my hair got really scraggly and broke off after about an inch of length, despite being able to avoid baldness with medicine. This started happening a few years ago, after being on propecia for 6 years, and having hypothyroidism for decades. This stuff works. I use it, and would only recommend things to clients I believe in. If only I had known about it at the salons I worked in…

Pros
  • It can help to improve the overall health and condition of your hair, by nourishing it from the inside out
Cons
  • May require frequent use to maintain results

Smells Good Does Nothing

Don’t waste your money. I bought the entire system and ended up with sores on my scalp. It smells great, but doesn’t do anything for your hair growth.

Pros
  • Rene Furterer COMPLEXE 5 helps to restore and maintain the natural balance of your scalp, which can be disrupted by daily exposure to environmental pollutants
Cons
  • May require other products in conjunction to produce desired results

Hair exfoliant must have

This is a great product and it truly exfoliates your scalp. I love the results and continue to re-buy when I run out. May require a lot of product to cover the entire scalp.

Pros
  • The product is sold with a satisfaction guarantee, so you can try it risk-free
Cons
  • May require a lot of product to cover the entire scalp

Waste of money. for my opinion

I have been using this product on and off for over a year hoping to see some positive results. The oil burns my scalp on application. I have not noticed any hair regrowth. On the contrary, my hair continued to thin out. Given the discomfort, the hefty price and utter lack of positive effect, this product is a complete waste of money.

Pros
  • It comes in a convenient 1.6-ounce bottle, which is perfect for on-the-go use
Cons
  • May not be recommended for people with extensions or weaves

Very helpful best in my review

I have oily scalp. This formula helps to relieve itchiness. I used it every week, twice. Note: Before shampooing, not after.I used it after and then read the instruction - realized I used it incorrectly.

Pros
  • PIERRE FABRE USA INC.
Cons
  • May cause hair to become tangled or difficult to manage

Not the same in my review

I’ve been using this product since 2010 and it has changed. My most recent purchase of this oil is smelling rancid and leaving my hair feeling strange and oily. I’ve given it a fair shot now that half of the bottle is gone. I have never had a bad product from RF so I’m not clear on what’s going on. My hair feels awful every time I use it. New formula? Expired Product? It’s a shame for spending the money I always have on my. The reason I’ve used it for 10 years is because it works and my hair is

Pros
  • The product is easy to integrate into your existing hair care routine, and only needs to be used once or twice a week
Cons
  • May not be able to reverse long-term scalp damage
