NIOXIN Age Defense Shampoo for Aging Hair — 8.1 fl oz Detox Scalp Cleanser with Niacinamide, Color-Safe Daily Cleanse

NIOXIN Age Defense Shampoo is a detoxifying scalp cleanser formulated with niacinamide to purify the scalp and help hair look fuller, shinier, and healthier as it ages.

This anti-aging shampoo from NIOXIN uses scalp-focused science to address the visible effects of aging hair, including reduced fullness and changes in texture or color. It combines a Nutractive+ Complex centered on niacinamide with a sulfate-, paraben- and silicone-free formula that’s color-safe and gentle enough for daily use. The result is a cleansing ritual that removes buildup and helps restore natural shine without stripping treatments or color.

How does this shampoo refresh the scalp and remove buildup?

NIOXIN Age Defense Shampoo is designed to deeply cleanse the scalp, lifting oils, residue and environmental pollutants that can weigh hair down. Its formulation targets impurities while preserving moisture balance so hair doesn’t feel dry or brittle after washing.

• Detoxifying surfactants remove product, sebum and pollution.
• Niacinamide supports scalp surface condition and comfort.
• Color-safe, gentle formula suitable for frequent use.
• Leaves hair ready for styling and the next steps in your regimen.

Will this shampoo help hair look thicker or more youthful?

The shampoo is formulated to improve visual fullness and shine by cleansing the scalp and hair fibers so hair appears more buoyant and reflective. While it doesn’t alter hair biology, reducing buildup and improving scalp condition can create the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking hair over time.

• Purified hair lifts at the root for improved volume perception.
• Enhanced shine makes strands look smoother and more vibrant.
• Works as part of a 360° Age Defense routine for cumulative benefits.

What role does niacinamide play in this formula?

Niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3) is incorporated for its supportive effects on skin-like tissues such as the scalp. In this shampoo it contributes to maintaining a balanced scalp environment, which helps hair look and feel healthier after cleansing.

• Supports scalp surface condition and comfort.
• Helps maintain moisture balance without oily residue.
• Pairs with other ingredients to boost shine and manageability.

How should I use NIOXIN Age Defense Shampoo in my routine?

Apply to wet hair, massage into the scalp and hair to work up a lather, then rinse thoroughly; repeat if needed for heavy buildup. For best results, follow with a compatible conditioner or treatments from the NIOXIN Age Defense system to lock in hydration and maintain the fuller look.

• Wet hair, apply a quarter-size amount, focus on the scalp.
• Massage for 60–90 seconds to lift impurities and stimulate circulation.
• Rinse and complete with Age Defense conditioner or leave-in treatment.

Who is this for? NIOXIN Age Defense Shampoo is suited for adults noticing early signs of hair aging—such as reduced fullness, changes in texture, or dullness—who want a science-driven cleansing step. It's appropriate for all hair types, safe on color-treated hair, and ideal for anyone seeking a gentle daily cleanser that prioritizes scalp health and visual improvement in body and shine.
