DERMA E Thickening Shampoo, 10 oz

DERMA E Thickening Shampoo is a rinse-out cleanser formulated to help hair appear thicker and fuller. Its mint and herbal blend combines panthenol, vegetable collagen and moisture-supporting ingredients with eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint and spearmint oils. The bottle shown is marked 10 fl oz / 296 mL.

Cleansing for a fuller-looking finish

The bottle identifies this shampoo for thinning hair, while the manufacturer describes its benefit as making hair appear thicker and fuller. It is a cosmetic cleansing and volume-care step, not a treatment for hair loss or a promise to regrow hair.

Work it into a wash routine when you want cleansing with a refreshing mint character. The manufacturer recommends pairing it with its Thickening Volume Conditioner; the conditioner is a separate product, not included with this shampoo.

Panthenol, vegetable collagen and mint oils

The published formula includes panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, sodium PCA and aloe, alongside vegetable collagen, chamomile extract, bakuchiol and tocopheryl acetate. Menthol and Menthone Glycerin Acetal accompany eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint and spearmint oils.

These aromatic oils mean this is not an unscented formula. Review the ingredient list if your scalp is sensitive to mint, menthol or botanical oils. A cooling sensation does not establish improved circulation or new hair growth.

How to use and rinse

Massage into wet hair and scalp to create a lather, then rinse thoroughly. The manufacturer's published directions also specify a three-to-five-minute leave-in interval before rinsing and describe the shampoo as gentle for daily use.

Because the online directions place a rinse instruction before the leave-in instruction, follow the sequence on your current bottle or ask the manufacturer to clarify. Do not assume the one-minute timing of the Wash Day Curl Shampoo or the one-to-two-minute timing of the Thickening Conditioner applies here. Adjust use to your scalp's tolerance, avoid eye contact and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
