It’s time to concentrate on lotions, conditioners, and leave-in products, which are an essential component of the hair care routine after delving deeply into the world of DSD de Luxe hair products in my previous article. I’ve been using these products for a number of years, and I’m here to share my honest experience and point out both the advantages and potential drawbacks.
We’ll discuss how DSD de Luxe’s lotions have benefited or hindered my hair care regimen in this second section. These products provide a range of advantages, such as addressing dryness and increasing radiance, but they also present certain difficulties. I’ll analyze what I found to be effective and ineffective, providing you with information that may help you make wise decisions.
We’ll talk about conditioners as another crucial component. I’ve experimented with various formulations over the years, and it’s amazing to see how small adjustments to the ingredients or method of application can have a significant impact. I’ll discuss my findings about the detangling, moisturizing, and general health of hair performance of DSD de Luxe conditioners.
To sum up, leave-in products can completely change the game when it comes to preserving hair’s health and style all day. I’ve had varying degrees of success with DSD de Luxe’s leave-in treatments. I’ll discuss which products performed well and which ones didn’t live up to your expectations so you can make an informed decision.
Stay tuned as we explore the specifics and walk through my own experiences using these DSD de Luxe hair care products. Whether you’ve been using the brand for a while or are brand new, I hope my insights will help you choose what’s best for your hair.
Product | My Experience and Pitfalls |
DSD de Luxe Lotion | The lotion helped reduce hair loss over time, but I noticed that overuse can lead to scalp irritation. It"s best to follow the recommended usage guidelines to avoid dryness or itchiness. |
DSD de Luxe Conditioner | This conditioner provided excellent hydration and smoothness, but it didn"t give much volume. It"s great for softening hair, but not ideal if you"re looking for extra body. |
DSD de Luxe Leave-in | The leave-in product added shine and helped with detangling. However, using too much made my hair feel greasy. A small amount works best, especially for finer hair types. |

Lotions and ampoules Dsd de Luxe: theoretical part
I propose that we tackle the hot button issue of fighting hair loss first.
I want to share some trichologist advice and discuss my experience using some Dsd de Luxe lotions and ampoules.
Why it is important to visit a trichologist when choosing lotions
I’ve been using the anti-hair loss Dsd de Luxe products for approximately 18 months. Using masks, peeling, and shampoos, I began to familiarize myself with the brand.
I decided to add hair loss products after trying it and liking it, as advised by a trichologist. This is the first section on peeling, masks, and shampoos.
I’ve been battling sporadic hair loss for a number of years. This is "diffuse telogen effluvium" in my situation, which is linked to extreme stress. I have everything on my list: I see a doctor, get preventive testing, and keep an eye out for vitamin deficiencies.
Naturally, covid also has an impact on hair quality.
It is very difficult to understand the Dsd de Luxe brand without consulting a specialist because it is medicinal, concentrated, and narrowly focused (especially these are drugs aimed at combating hair loss). In addition to performing diagnostics, the specialist will also recommend the appropriate drugs. Trichologists know how to do things correctly.
Meeting a trichologist is a fascinating experience! You’ve never seen a scalp like this! On the monitor, the hair appears enormous! How well your shampoo works as visible to you. The expert will advise you on proper hair care practices and the composition of your hair. The information I learned from seeing the specialist was very beneficial to me.
Dsd is always available to respond to you in virtual space if this is not possible:
Specifics of drugs for hair loss
Let’s now examine the range of lotions designed to treat hair loss. Starting with the medication that has the highest stimulating potential (3.4.3B), let’s work our way down the list to the lightest choice (3.4):
- 3.4.3B – the strongest, as well as an activator concentrate for 3.4.3A, 3.4, 3.4.1, 3.4.2
- 3.4.4 – stimulates the growth of new hair, good for oily scalp (anti-seborrheic effect) + thickens hair + add. hair volume
- 3.4.3A – good for androgenic alopecia, when hair loss has stopped and new hair growth is needed
- 3.4.2 – prolongs the hair growth phase + thickens hair
- 3.4.5A /3.4.5B – in case of prolonged hair loss and thinning, nest hair loss 3.4.5B combined with 3.4.5A (3.4.5A applied 30 minutes before application 3.4.5 B)
- 3.4.1 – stress-related hair loss, antiandrogenic effect (saw palmetto)
- 3.4 – same properties as 3.4.1, but a lighter version, plus effective against seborrhea
These are the primary, traditional choices.
Drug 9.4 is a new product that the company recently released to replace minoxidil, a potent and addictive medication. I have nothing to say about it because I didn’t speak with experts and the product is still very new with few user reviews:
Additionally, Dsd offers ampoules designed to strengthen hair follicles and stop hair loss:
- 4.4 – restorative ampoules with keratin, stimulate growth and improve hair structure
- 4.4.1 – provide anti-inflammatory, moisturizing effect, strengthen hair structure
- 7.4 – reduce hair loss (at the initial stage/to prevent hair loss) and stimulate hair growth, increase density
- 5.5.1 – to protect and restore the scalp and hair, anti-inflammatory (especially when dyeing and perming or after these procedures)
Additionally, there is an anti-hair loss serum with growth factors No. 011 (I’m not familiar with this product) in the Medline Organic line:
These are the primary lotions, ampoules, and serums that the company manufactures. Let’s now examine the schemes that the manufacturer suggests in a specific scenario.
Main active ingredients
Based on numerous scientific advancements, the composition of Dsd de Luxe products does not boast an entirely natural composition (though it also does not contain any questionable ingredients—recall the Ecocert certificate, for example). Placental protein, vitamins, and extracts make up the base.
The primary active ingredients and their quantitative content in lotions are listed in the table created by the manufacturer (with a small amount of additions from me):
Main components | 3.4 | 3.4.1 | 3.4.2 | 3.4.3A | 3.4.3B | 3.4.4 | 3.4.5A | 3.4.5B |

Application schemes
Let’s review the theory of Dsd de Luxe preparations, examine how they differ, and conduct a more thorough analysis of one of the schemes.
My information and conclusions are derived from reading a variety of brand-related literature, speaking with trichologists, and using the products myself. You do recall that whenever I travel, I take notes on everything:
Classic schemes for hair loss, presented on the site
Let’s look at the traditional (found on the Dsd website) and trichologist-recommended drug regimens for hair loss. I think this is a crucial time to get to know the brand in order to estimate how long therapy will take and what costs might be involved. A brand specialist or trichologist consultation will also give you basic knowledge to help you navigate the products more easily.
Dsd de Luxe offers multiple suggestions regarding the best products to use for hair loss in specific situations:
For illustration, let’s examine a more complicated case of applying lotions for telogen effluvium that lasts longer than six months.
Dsd advises beginning with medication 3.4.2, which lengthens the hair growth phase and encourages structural thickening. After two months, continue taking 3.4.3A, which contains saw palmetto extract and has good stimulating properties. It also has an antiandrogenic effect. 3.4.4, which is administered again for two months at the end of the course, encourages the growth of new hair and has an even stronger stimulating effect in addition to an antiseborrheic and hair-thinning effect.
In other words, we gently start the process, fortify the follicles, encourage hair growth, and, in the last stage, assist the new growth that ought to emerge at this time.
It is advised to take a two- to three-month hiatus after finishing the program in order to recover from stimulation. Next, following a trichologist’s advice, either carry out the course as directed or undertake a maintenance regimen (using lotion twice a week). In general, 3.4/3.4.1/4.4.
Schemes for long-term stress (diffuse) hair loss, proposed by a trichologist, are used as maintenance options
Here, I’d like to suggest a few more potential regimens or lotion combinations designed to halt hair loss brought on by protracted stress (more than six months). The trichologist for the brand provided consultations for the schemes.
The first plan is a more straightforward version of the fundamental, less complicated, but equally effective plan:
- 3.4.2 for 3 months
- 3.4.4 for 3 months
After a 1-2 month break, there is a maintenance course consisting of taking ampoules 3.4 twice a week, 2 ml at a time. This program is also recommended for Covid-related hair loss.
There are three products in the second scheme:
- 3.4.4 for 2 months
- 3.4.3A for 2 months
- 3.4 for 2 months
Following that, there is another 1-2 month break followed by a maintenance regimen using ampoules 3.4 twice a week, 2 ml at a time. This plan works better if your scalp tends to get oily or dandruffy.
Both times, the trichologist gave me personalized recommendations that weren’t exactly like the brand’s traditional choices. I do hope, though, that you were curious to learn about some potential scheme examples.
After delving into the theory, I suggest moving on to the practical side of things by discussing my personal experience using particular medications to treat hair loss marks and offering some advice for the future.
Lotions and ampoules Dsd de Luxe: my experience of use
Ladies, I was able to familiarize myself with options 3.4.1, 3.4.2, and 3.4.3B; these will be covered in more detail below. I’ll begin with 3.4.1, my firstborn.
3.4.1 Crexepil de Luxe Forte Lotion
Description of the manufacturer:
Crexepil forte is designed to reduce hair loss and stimulate their growth.Contains the highest concentration of hair growth stimulants based on purine and pyrimidine bases, placental extract, adenosine, caffeine, cayenne pepper, plant phytoestrogens, vitamins, zinc, iron, magnesium, silicon, inositol and sulfur-containing amino acids. Contains dwarf saw palmetto extract – a component that reliably blocks the activity of dihydrotestosterone (a hormone that is a common cause of hair loss) hair). It has a pronounced vasodilating effect. The presence of panthenol and olive leaf extract in the lotion determines its positive effect on the hair structure, making the hair silky and shiny. Creates a long-lasting feeling of warmth and freshnessNot suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Composition 3.4.1:
Alcohol denatured, water, placental extract, hawthorn extract, biotin, panthenol, hydrolyzed RNA, hydrolyzed DNA, tocopheryl acetate, ascorbyl palmitate, retinyl palmitate, saw palmetto fruit extract, inositol, cayenne (chili) pepper extract, yeast extract, thiamine, horse chestnut extract, tocopherol, pyridoxine, stinging nettle leaf extract, olive leaf extract, riboflavin, saccharomyces fermented trace elements (iron, copper, magnesium, silicon, zinc), niacinamide, eucalyptol, caffeine, menthol, methyl nicotinate, peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil, propylene glycol, peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil, sodium hydroxide, sodium succinate, sodium chloride, citric acid, benzoate Sodium, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Parfum, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamaldehyde, CI 16255, CI 19140, CI 28440.
Application from the manufacturer:
1. Shake the lotion before use.2. Carefully, over the sink, open the ampoule with the plastic nozzle that comes with the kit, breaking off the tip, and immediately put on the soft dispenser cap.3. Apply 1/3 of the ampoule all over the head, in drops, along the partings.4. Complete the application with light massage movements.5. Use daily.6. After 5 minutes, you can dry your hair if the hair is damp. Can be applied to dry (dirty) and damp (clean) scalp.Do not rinse off so that the active ingredients can show their therapeutic effect.7. An open ampoule (with a closed cap) can be stored for 1 month. Not in the refrigerator.
These ampoules are the first in the majority of the Dsd de Luxe schemes.
They are simple, not overly concentrated, and only partially comprise:
- vitamins: biotin (vit. B7), tocopherol (vit. E), ascorbyl palmitate (vit. C), thiamine (vit. B1), inositol (vit. B8), pyridoxine (vit. B6), riboflavin (vit. B2), nicotinamide (vit. B3)
- microelements (fermented): iron, copper, magnesium, silicon, zinc
- extracts: hawthorn, saw palmetto, chili pepper, yeast, horse chestnut, stinging nettle, olive leaves
- components that improve blood circulation: eucalyptol, caffeine, menthol
- as well as: hydrogenated castor oil, propylene glycol, citric acid and preservatives
Ampoules work on both clean and dirty scalps; the effect is unaffected. I washed my hair on the second, third, and fourth day before applying. I continued in a circle, washing my hair again after that. It’s crucial to use the product consistently: every morning and evening plus a quick finger massage.
Features of the packaging:
- the kit includes a convenient plastic spout for breaking off the neck (in general, breaks off smoothly, but there are incidents)
- the spout is conveniently put on the ampoule, but over time it loosens, although the contents of the ampoule do not leak
- in appearance – transparent, slightly yellowish water
- an open ampoule is stored for up to 1 month, at room temperature
- economical consumption
My trichologist prescribed the medication to treat diffuse hair loss brought on by extended stress. She recommended that I use 3.4.1 solo for two months, followed by three months of concentration on 3.4.3B.
My thoughts on using 3.4.1 alone
- does not make the head more dirty
- pleasant aroma
- no dandruff / itching / increased sensitivity / dryness
- the scalp did not turn red, but if a stream flowed onto the face / neck, then a red streak cannot be avoided – everything passes without a trace in 15-20 minutes
- reduction in hair loss occurs after a few weeks-month, but does not stop completely
- the result is better and faster when combined with 3.4.3B
- I think that it works best for mild hair loss / initial stage / for preventing hair loss and strengthening hair
I used these gems in abundance, so let’s examine concentrate 3.4.3 B now, and then we’ll examine the outcomes.
3.4.3B Fresh Cells de Luxe Concentrate
Description of the manufacturer:
Freshcells concentrate exhibits pronounced stimulating properties for hair growth due to the maximum concentration of the substance KEGAB in combination with dwarf palm, apple stem cells, antioxidant and vitamin-mineral complex, vasodilators, placental and soy proteins. The drug allows you to achieve noticeable hair growth even with severe forms of baldness.Attention! The concentrate contains a high concentration of nicotinic acid derivatives. With increased individual sensitivity to nicotinic acid and its derivatives, temporary redness of the upper half of the face and neck may occur. These symptoms go away on their own. Before the first use of the concentrate in undiluted form, it is recommended to conduct a sensitivity test by applying 1 drop of the drug to the inner surface of the forearm. Redness that goes away after 10-20 minutes is normal
Ingredients:
Nicotinamide, propylene glycol, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, acai pulp powder, palm kernel extract, apple fruit cell culture (Malus domestica), denatured alcohol, hydrolyzed soy protein, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and glycerin.
Manufacturer"s instructions:
1. Shake the lotion before use.2. Carefully, over the sink, open the ampoule with the plastic nozzle that comes with the kit, breaking off the tip, and immediately put on the soft dispenser cap.3. Apply 1/3 of the ampoule all over the head, in drops, along the partings.4. Complete the application with light massage movements.5. Use daily.6. After 5 minutes you can dry your head if your hair is damp. Can be applied to dry (dirty) and damp (clean) scalp.Do not rinse off to ensure that the active ingredients have a therapeutic effect.7. An open ampoule (with a closed cap) can be stored for 1 month. Not in the refrigerator.
This preparation is more often used as a concentrate due to its potent qualities and high material concentration.
3.4.3B can be combined to intensify the effect with the following lotions:
- 3.4.3A (+ 1 ampoule 3.4.3 B)
- 3.4 (+ 2 ml. 3.4.3B per 1 ampoule 3.4)
- 3.4.1 (+ 2 ml. 3.4.3B per 1 ampoule 3.4.1)
- 3.4.2 (+ 1 ampoule 3.4.3 B, mix in a separate container, that is, for every 10 ml. 3.4.2 there is 2 ml. of lotion 3.4.3B)
Administered as follows:
25 drops in one milliliter of concentrate
50 drops in 2 milliliters of concentrate
In cases of severe issues, it can be used alone (though, as this is powerful medication, it is best to consult a trichologist first). Here, it is applied twice a day for a minimum of three months (2 milliliters). Although it is one of the priciest items in the range, the price is more reasonable when purchased separately.
Let’s examine the arrangement:
- based on water and denatured alcohol
- hydrolyzed soy protein – conditioning additive
- gamma-aminobutyric acid (KEGABA) – comparable in action to minoxidil, has no withdrawal syndrome
- dwarf palm extract – antiandrogenic properties
- cell cultures from the fruits of the garden apple tree – stimulates regeneration processes
- acai pulp powder – rich in antioxidants and amino acids
- nicotinamide – nicotinic acid, improves blood circulation, stimulates collagen production
- propylene glycol – humectant
- xanthan gum – thickener, stabilizer (natural origin)
- glycerin – humectant
Let’s focus on the enigmatic part of KEGABA:
That is, a potent element that has undergone safety testing (studies have been done since 1998).
Features of the packaging:
- packaging – airplane: unscrew – close – forget – use again
- light matte plastic
- appearance – transparent liquid
- open ampoule is stored for up to 1 month, at room temperature
The effect remains the same when the concentrate is applied to both clean and dirty scalps. Similar to 3.4.1, it’s crucial to apply every day in the morning or evening. Use your fingertips to give it a little massage.
My thoughts on using 3.4.3B solo (interest-testing):
- rapidly reduces hair loss
- after a week of use, hair seems to stick to the head and falls out minimally
- does not smell of anything special
- if it gets on the neck / face – there will be a red mark (nicotinic acid in the composition), which will quickly pass
- does not irritate and does not dry the scalp
Impressions from the trichologist’s recommended scheme: ampoule 3.4.1 for two months, followed by 3.4.1 + 2 ml. 3.4.3B for three months per ampoule:
- at first it seems that the effect is not so stunning
- no sensitivity, no irritation either
- a lasting effect came after a month and was fixed in the 3rd month of use
- even after the end of the course, hair loss was minimal
- the first short hair of 0.5 mm. I saw after 2.5 months after the start of use
- hair grew better and faster
- after the course, I did not do a maintenance course (and in vain!), but the hair pleased me for another 5 months after completing the scheme
- there was no withdrawal effect
After the course (roughly ten months later), the photo result is as follows: August 2021 – May 2022
The thickness and length both grew. My tail’s volume was 6.5 cm at that point, which is a good indicator for me.
Regretfully, because of extreme stress and antibiotics, I was experiencing hair loss again by autumn, though not to the same extent as before the course.
Winter 2023 hair:
I was happy with the results of my visit to the trichologist: instead of just one hair growing from the follicle, I could see on the monitor that two or three were growing. The rate of hair loss was normal.
All things considered, I think this program is successful; the only issue is that a specialist’s recommendation for a maintenance medication is not coincidental. I think that if I listened now, the outcome would be more consolidated.
3.4.2 Crexepil de Luxe Classic Lotion
Description of the manufacturer:
The lotion’s goals are to lessen pathological hair loss and promote hair growth. thickens fine hair. includes a balanced concentration of biogenic stimulants based on placental extract and peptides, nucleoside inosine, a vitamin and mineral complex, purine and pyrimidine bases, and acai berry extract, which has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also contains the effective hair growth stimulator KEGAB, which prolongs the hair growth phase. The lotion’s presence of camphor and nicotinic acid derivatives cause pronounced vasodilation. provides a comforting, clean sensation that lingers.
Composition:
Water, denatured alcohol, hydrolyzed RNA, placental protein, glycerin, inositol, panthenol, and tocopheryl acetate Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, Acai Pulp Powder, Retinyl Palmitate, Thiamine, Hydrolyzed DNA, Biotin, Soy Proteins, Horse Chestnut Extract, Pyridoxine, Riboflavin, Yeast Extract, Saccharomyces Fermented Microelements (Iron, Copper, Magnesium, Silicon, Zinc), Nicotinamide, Ethoxide Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Triethanolamine, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hydroxide Succinate, Propanediol, Sorbic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamon aldehyde.
Application from the manufacturer:
1. Gently shake the lotion before using.2. On dry or wet skin heads, apply 2-4 ml of the lotion (12–24 presses to the spray).3. Distribute using gentle massage strokes.4. Apply every day.5. Refrain from rinsing to allow the active ingredients to demonstrate their medicinal properties.
This lotion is regarded as a brand classic. It’s the only one that works for expectant mothers and nursing mothers. It has thus undergone extensive safety testing.
Let’s examine the composition in more detail:
- Based, as in the previous versions, water, denatured alcohol, placental protein
- RNA hydrolysate, DNA hydrolysate – have wound-healing properties, work against cell aging, help retain moisture in the skin, help increase its elasticity
- glycerin, panthenol – moisturizers + soothing properties
- KEGABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) – we considered its properties using the example of the previous version (a safe replacement for minoxidil)
- Acai pulp powder – rich in antioxidants and amino acids
- soy proteins – building material for hair
- horse chestnut extract – antioxidant properties, against rosacea, anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous properties
- fermented (saccharomyces) microelements: iron, copper, magnesium, silicon, zinc
- vitamins: biotin (vit. B7), tocopherol (vit. E), ascorbyl palmitate (vit. C), thiamine (vit. B1), inositol (vit. B8), pyridoxine (vit. B6), riboflavin (vit. B2), nicotinamide (vit. B3)
Once more, the composition is rich in every way but free of antiandrogens, which is also why using it while pregnant or nursing is safe.
Features of the packaging:
- a bottle made of black opaque plastic with a convenient sprayer
- the sprayer does not break, works properly, sprays finely
- convenient to apply along partings
- you need about 10-12 sprays to treat the entire scalp
- make a parting – spray – rub. If the consumption of the product in this way is large, you can spray on hand, dip your fingertips into the product and transfer it to your scalp, while doing a light massage. If this is also inconvenient, you can, like me, pick open the bottle, remove the pump with pliers (carefully) and pour it into a more convenient container.
- soft yellow color
- after opening, it can be stored for up to 12 months
My thoughts after utilizing 3.4.2 alone:
- light, medicinal aroma
- didn"t slow down hair loss for me, I tried to apply it for a month – still, my hair fell out more than necessary
- I had to take breaks, as sometimes I felt irritation
- after 2-3 days everything went away and my scalp calmed down
- it seems that if you spray 12 or more times, the consumption will be high, but when I opened the package, I was pleasantly surprised by the opposite.
My observations regarding the scheme 3.4.2 + 3.4.3B (mixed in a different container, 1 ampoule of 3.4.3B for every 1 package of 3.4.2):
- after my complaints about sensitivity, the trichologist changed the scheme and I began to use 3.4.2 together with 3.4.3B
- there was neither sensitivity nor irritation
- did not cause dandruff or flaking
- loss began to decrease after 3 weeks
- such a shorter, but quite strong course of 3 months, she recommended me to take against the background of taking medications and stress
- then take a break and choose another maintenance product
- for severe/long-term hair loss, the course can be 3-6 months (since this course is individual, based on my complaints, I cannot recommend it as a classic option)
Hair grows short and hair loss is normal.
I started using COVID when the course was almost over. After two to three weeks, it had little effect on the slight increase in hair loss. Not in clumps, but more hair fell out. I was happy with the course overall, and now that I’ve had to take a forced break, I’m searching for a different medication to help with maintenance.
My hair is brittle at the ends now (more on this later), but it’s still decent overall, even with the hair loss:
I’ll attempt to illustrate the growth that "sticks out":
3.4.2 is a reasonably common choice among all DSD lotions on its own. In addition, it thickens, strengthens, and extends the phase of hair growth. It can also be used in the aftermath of childbirth, during a period of intense stress, to prevent seasonal loss. Its composition is rich, but it has a little bit of everything. My sensitive scalp is not an indicator in this regard, but I’m not sure why it irritates me when used alone.
Plan 3.4.2 using 3.4.3B. It fit me well and performed much better for me, so I liked it. I could stop worrying about irritation if I used the lotion’s mixed version on a daily basis.
Products that are waiting in the wings
The truth is that Dsd de Luxe is incredibly hard to find in my country and is hardly ever sold there. I try to purchase them from our trichology salon or order them from the official Spanish website, but they are hard to come by and come in small amounts.
Since the order itself, taxes, and delivery all add up to a pretty penny, I order multiple products at once like a greedy spider (you already know that about me). Bonus tests are included:
To speak "for the future," I can’t say anything about the products I purchased because they were also suggested by an expert; all I can do is display them to you. Your meek, avaricious spider will undoubtedly share his impressions once he opens them. The image additionally displays the cardboard packaging that the products are shipped in:
About Aminoenergizer – ampoules 5.5.1, all I can say is that I gave it to a friend. Her scalp is extremely irritated after coloring, and these ampoules help her discomfort in a matter of one to two times. They can be incorporated into the dye mixture as well. Although I haven’t tried them myself, my friend is thrilled that they don’t irritate her scalp. The ampoules are inexpensive; they are not kept in the refrigerator and are kept for a month after opening.
The mixture includes ingredients that are calming and moisturizing (castor oil, keratin, and betaine). The ampoules are intended to prevent hair loss more so than to strengthen hair and protect the scalp. permitted when nursing and pregnant. The well-known makeup artist Elena Krygina once discussed them; after every wash, she rubbed them in to strengthen her hair:
I’ll discuss my personal experiences using Dsd de Luxe’s lotions, conditioners, and leave-in products over the course of the last several years in this post. Even though these products have produced some very impressive results, I’ll also discuss the difficulties I’ve run into, such as unforeseen side effects and problems with efficacy. In order to assist you in making an informed choice, my objective is to present a fair analysis that points out both the advantages and disadvantages of these products.
Serum 4.5 and conditioner 4.2
Girls, we’re almost done! Just two more products need to be reviewed!
If you’re still with me, I advise you to select something from my buffet once more. Anything goes; even the foreign eggplant caviar is available!
4.5 Keratin Treatment Serum
My agony and love! A hair restoration serum that caused the wildest brittleness at the ends of my hair—or rather, my excessive use of it did. Let’s disassemble it piece by piece!
Manufacturer"s promises:
Refers to dual-action products that simultaneously stimulate hair growth and improve their structure. Due to the high concentration of green tea extract, this serum stimulates the activity of hair papilla cells. Soy isoflavones, together with a vitamin-mineral complex, prolong the hair growth phase. "Volatile" or "evaporating" silicones give hair shine, softness and volume, while not accumulating in the hair. Keratin has high substantivity and promotes rapid restoration of damaged hair. Adenosine contained in nanosomes stimulates DNA synthesis and also has excellent moisturizing properties. After using the serum, your hair will gain shine, strength and volume for a long time, and will be easy to comb. Can be used as a corrector for products that are aggressive to the scalp, because.when applied to the skin, it has an anti-inflammatory effect, antipruritic and softening effects, and has an antioxidant effect.

Packaging: easy-to-open lid; nothing cracked. I received multiple packages, and all of them seemed okay until the very end, when you could just cut the tube to get the remaining contents. Very good 200 ml volume. The product is long-lasting and reasonably priced:
The serum 4.5 has a thick, mildly lemony texture.
Strong, lingering, and masculine scent.
My impressions (I have direct pigment dye in my porous hair):
- the composition contains everything – vitamins, extracts, moisturizers, soothing components, microelements, peptides, keratin hydrolyzate
- green tea extract – serum, really soothes the scalp, helped me a lot during a period of severe sensitivity (I smeared it on my scalp after washing, it doesn"t get dirty at all)
- gives great volume at the roots
- double action product – and for the ends – the ends become dense, the effect is a lot of hair, the hair is easy to comb, shiny
An illustration of hair with and without serum 4.5. The image was captured in a single day; serum is visible on the left, but not on the right:
What went wrong, then? And I went overboard: for a full year, I used this serum and the whole DSD de Luxe keratin series practically nonstop with every wash. Oversaturation of hair occurred. The restorative qualities of the products and the inclusion of keratin in the composition, in my opinion, were significant factors. The ends became fragments from thick, which I now handle with caution.
Let’s examine the hair’s development. In this June 2022 fitting room photo, a noticeable thick cut is visible. The semicircle in the following photo, taken towards the end of the summer of 2022, changed into a triangle due to extreme fragility, with pieces breaking off that were between two and four centimeters in size. And now for the third picture, which shows the aftermath of breaking off the ends even though the hair is properly combed:
In conclusion, if your hair is natural or has been dyed with herbs, you shouldn’t use the product every day because it is restorative and heavily concentrated with keratin.
I believe this will be a great option for people with colored hair. I’ll start using such potent restorative products with caution from now on.
4.2 Triple Action Conditioner
We have now reached the end of this lengthy tale. Brand of conditioner. Since it was peeling off and I tore it off, I have it in a black bottle without a sticker:
Description of the manufacturer:
This product benefits the scalp and simultaneously enhances the structure of the hair and promotes its growth. The conditioner includes keratin, hydrolyzed collagen, aloe vera, shea butter, and a high concentration of panthenol as ingredients that help to improve and restore the structure of the hair. The conditioner has a protein-mineral complex that is rich in bioavailable minerals like zinc, iron, silicon, and magnesium, which stimulate hair growth. Antioxidants, hair growth stimulants, vitamins A, C, E, PP, panthenol, riboflavin, biotin, inositol, thiamine, pyridoxine, and nicotinamide are all included in the multivitamin complex. Saw palmetto extract is another well-known natural antiandrogen included in the conditioner.
Conditioner composition:
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Isopropanol, Inositol, Panthenol, Biotin, Retinyl Palmitate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Thiamine, Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Shea Butter, Yeast Extract, Tocopherol, Pyridoxine, Riboflavin, Saccharomyces Ferment Elements: Magnesium, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Silica, Niacinamide, Ethylene Glycol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phosphoric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Triethanolamine, Quaternium-80, Dimethicone, Hydroxyethylcellulose, glycerin, cellulose, sodium chloride, sodium acetate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, dehydroacetic acid, phenoxyethanol, butylene glycol, fragrance, eugenol, benzyl alcohol,benzyl salicylate, alpha-isomethyl ionone, hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, geraniol, citronellol, hydroxycitronellal, linalool, isoeugenol, CI 28440, CI 19140, CI 16255.
Stowage. There is a 200 ml tube and a 500 ml pump package included with the conditioner. My second option is more cost-effective, but it’s not as convenient to use because the pump jams and takes a while to "come to its senses" after being pressed.
Scent. Quite sharp, much like the brand’s other scents.
The product has a milky, yellowish texture.
My observations (my hair is porous and I used direct pigment):
- concentrate from aloe leaves in the composition in the second position – the conditioner really does have soothing properties
- as well as shea butter, hydrolyzed collagen, microelements, vitamins, soothing extracts – it seems to me that they make hair very smooth
- saw palmetto extract as a natural antiandrogen
- has smoothing, detangling properties
- if you hold it for 20-30 minutes it will work as a good mask, your hair will not get tangled at all
- there are no silicones in the composition, so you can apply it to the scalp
- high consumption due to the liquid texture
- I don’t use it often, after the fiasco with the keratin series (it belongs to it)
I find nothing wrong with it; it’s a good conditioner overall. Strong enough to be used frequently, it produces positive results when used infrequently. Because it is silicone-free, it cannot be used to seal moisturizing masks such as Hydra.
I only see it applied directly to the scalp or used alone for a longer period of time (with a longer holding time). Then, it opens up more readily and integrates with the care system more readily. Purchasing or testing it out as a dual-action product is highly recommended.
Bonus
A little poetic aside.
There is more to Dsd de Luxe than just hair care. The company offers a line of facial care products as well.
Their Viper-Ake face cream (which smoothes out expression lines), hand cream 6.1 (which is light enough but effective and has a nice scent), and serums (which are light but give the skin the appearance of fullness) were all products I truly liked.
View it if you’re interested. The prices are average (they vary greatly depending on where you get them), and the compositions are good and functional.
Here are a few of my favorites:
I’ve been using Dsd de Luxe products for a number of years, and I’ve personally witnessed the benefits of their leave-in treatments, conditioners, and lotions. These products have been essential to keeping my hair looking and feeling great. The lotions work especially well at adding moisture to hair without making it appear weighed down, giving the hair a youthful, bouncy appearance. They are particularly helpful, in my experience, in preventing dryness and regaining vigor.
Another game-changer are the Dsd de Luxe line of conditioners. They nourish the hair deeply, making it easier to detangle and smooth it. Their capacity to gradually improve hair texture and make it softer and easier to manage is one of their most notable qualities. But it’s crucial to use them correctly; moderation is key because sometimes applying too much can leave a residue.
Another favorite item in my routine are the leave-in products from Dsd de Luxe. They give continual care all day long and provide a great deal of styling flexibility. These products are particularly helpful in humid conditions as they help to maintain shine and reduce frizz. The main thing to be careful of is that if you use too much leave-in, it can accumulate on your scalp and give you a greasy look.
To sum up, my hair care regimen has greatly benefited from the assortment of lotions, conditioners, and leave-in products offered by Dsd de Luxe. When applied properly, they produce good effects, but it’s important to pay attention to application amounts to avoid any potential problems. These products can greatly improve the general health and appearance of your hair when used in the proper proportions.
