I initially started using it based on the recommendation from a hair salon, and it has been better for me than Rene Furterer or Bain de Soins (?) without causing any trouble, so I've continued using it. Even just shampooing with it doesn't make my hair feel as dry and brittle as other anti-hair loss shampoos.
Since I have to purchase it through overseas direct buying, it's difficult to judge the expiration date or authenticity. The 1000ml large container doesn't have a pump, so I have to pour it into another container to use it.
