Kingsley Zissou Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Is there anything in this shampoo other than ketoconazole (sp?) that is actually beneficial? If not, why is it so much more expensive than Nizoral? I paid $35 for a 200 ml bottle, the same I paid for a 3 month supply of Rogaine foam. I can at least take comfort in the fact that Rogaine is FDA approved. Is Revita the real deal or is DS Laboratories another company taking advantage of those desperate for hair?

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted February 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2008 Kingsley, Personally I believe that it is nothing more than a high quality shampoo. If you are looking for it to do anything more than make your hair soft and manageable it ain't going to happen. If the company is promoting that it will grow hair or stop hairloss than I would have to say that they are trying to scam us. I am unaware of such claims. Bottom line--great shampoo that will make your hair feel soft. Nothing more. Is is worth the money? Debateable. I have wasted more money or lesser things. Try Shen Min-Vitalize. I think that it is $12 a bottle and also makes hair feel clean and manageable and has no harsh chemicals. NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Senior Member its752 Posted February 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2008 KS, Copper Peptides is the other ingredient in Revita that caught my attention. I know it's been tested and is a proven healer in the first 7 days or so after an HT and surely couldn't hurt after that 7 day period to keep using, but I personally can't pay $27.00 plus S&H every 12 or so hair washings! I have no clue of what it takes to make the product, price-wise I mean, but common sense tells me it's wayyyy overpriced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted February 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2008 Here where I live GNC an Vitamin Shoppe sell it for $27 .You can aviod the wait and shipping cost. It lasts MUCH longer then 12 shampoos unless your Crystal Gayle . A little goes a long way. It lathers up real nice. It does say to use then repeat I find thats a waste.The first shampoo I was told is to just really clean the scalp and then the second is so the ingrediants penetrate better. Well you can save alot by using cheaper shampoo for the first lather ,then Revita. If you use it right a bottle will last 2 months. I like it alot . Its not going to grow your hair back ,but I only have good things to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MORE_HAIR Posted February 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2008 NervousNelly, What do you like about the Shen Min-Vitalize. Is there something in it you like or just like it as a basic shampoo ?? I'm thinking about trying the Revita but only use it as a repeat wash after i use the basic Aloe Vera shampoo i purchased at a local health food store. PS- i ran across the shen min shampoo online as cheap as $6 a bottle. Any thoughts ?? Thanks, MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted February 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2008 The Shen Min shampoo doesn't contain any fancy ingredients that is trying to bs you about growing hair, but that is what is nice about it. Just a plain shampoo that is all natural and has a tingling sensation on the scalp and all at a fair price. It leaves your hair feeling very clean and healthy.

Kingsley Zissou Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Unlike Nizoral and Nioxin, Revita is specifically advertised to stimulate hair regrowth. This actually makes me feel more gullible for spending the $30 per bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MORE_HAIR Posted February 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2008 NN, Thanks for the info. I'm using a natural Aole Vera shampoo...maybe ill try shin min for the heck of it. MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rick055 Posted February 10, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2008 With the Gold Card discount at GNC, I think Revita is something like $23.00. I truly feel it has helped my hair loss. Nothing more than anecdotal account, but I love the stuff. If nothing else, it allows me to use nizoral every day without sacrificing the quality of my hair. 1.25 mg finasteride EOD Rogaine Foam 5% QD am Kirkland minoxidil 5% QD pm Nizoral Q2W American Crew Revitalize Shampoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted February 10, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2008 If you look at the branded shampoos it really isnt that much more. I've tried a ton of shampoos and it is really good. As far as stopping hairloss, no shampoo is going to do that but if there is one that could produce a marginal difference it would be this one or Nizoral.
