Smell?
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has tried this and can tell us what it smells like. I'm hoping it smells better than every one I've tried.

It has a light fragrance that is much better than all other dry shampoos that I have tried. It also isn't a spray, which means you can breathe while applying!!

It has a pleasant citrusy [read lemony] scent. I think it's nice, but it's not unlike some other products on the market.

Mild, slightly floral smell, not the lemony/housecleaner scents of many others. Quite pleasant, actually.

It does! If you've ever used the Alterna shampoo it smells a little like that, but generally this dry shampoo barely smells like anything. It is not like the Ojon one which makes your hair stink of it.

It smells faintly like lemon drops. It smells yummy, fresh, and it's not over-powering.

It smells like the ocean. Salty, sunny and refreshing. Or, if you've ever tried their anti-aging caviar volume shampoo, it smells exactly like that. I hope this helps!

It smells really fresh and clean. Not too perfume-y, which I like. It's a nice scent, nothing overbearing, and better than all other dry shampoos I've tried.

It has a really powdery smell to it. I really like one KMS Make-over Spray. It has more of a fruity scent.

Question
Anti-Aging?
This might be a silly question, but how can dry shampoo be anti-aging? Is this just a marketing thing or does the product really help your hair/scalp age better?

The anti aging effect of the Dry shampoo is the health of your scalp and by extension, you hair. We are shampoo obsessed in the US. Healthier and therefore younger looking hair is achieved by using this Alterna dry shampoo in place of regular shampoo. I think 3-4 days a week. You hair will be fuller and naturally shiny. Use Wen shampoo as well.

Where does it say" anti-aging"? The dry shampoo would never can work out that. I tried a new brand recently, it is very good: Faciano Dry Shampoo

Good question. It doesn't have specific information about how it acts as an anti-aging product other than "absorbing impurities." I can say it makes my hair look less oily in between shampoos, but I don't know about the anti-aging claims. It's a good dry shampoo though.

I also thought that the "anti-aging" feature seemed odd and kind of gimmicky, but this is the best dry shampoo I have ever tried just as far as dry shampoos go.

I can't see my scalp looking younger, and the "anti-aging" claim doesn't make much sense at all, but I don't much mind since that isn't the point of the product.

answer 8
There must be some sort of moisturizing ingredient that helps the scalp skin, much like the skin on our face, to stay young looking. That's my guess. Or, it could be what it doesn't have in it....like parabens or sulfates.

I think my hair feels younger because it isn't more dry after using it.. I'm not really sure how it uses the "anti-aging" tag.

answer 10
I think it can be considered "anti-aging" in the respect that hair is dead, & is weakest when it's wet; therefore, if one avoids wetting/washing their hair, then one avoids one of the activities that causes ends to wear thin, fray, split, etc. I have found dry shampoo to be wonderful to use, & my hair is in fantastic condition because of "extending" my hair's wear between washings due to using it! :) Try it---give your hair a break!

All products in the Caviar line, including the new dry shampoo, contain Alterna’s “Age-Control Complex” which treats concerns that come with age, like dull, brittle or thinning hair. The complex is formulated using three key anti-aging ingredients:

1. Caviar Extract – A rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids
2. Vitamin C – A proven anti-oxidant
3. Cytokines – Encourage circulation

This dry shampoo is also infused with plant-derived melanin to protect hair from UVA, UVB and help prevent color washout.

Hope that helps!

It is a powder. You take off the cone lid and gently shake out some of the powder into your hair, rub it with your fingers, then brush through.

It's a powder, and the best one I have found! Packaging leads to over-pouring, so apply to your finger tips or you will have a huge white powder spot on your scalp:)

It's a powder that is dispensed from a small opening in the bottle top. It's more environmentally friendly and less likely to clog than an aerosol. But it CAN release way more product than you need until you get the hang of the sprinkle. Hope this helps.

I don't know about it's testing, but trust me. It's not worthy buying because it doesn't work. I've tried at least a half-dozen dry shampoos, and the only one that really gets rid of oiliness is good old "Batiste".
