Redken Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo — Sulfate-Free Color Protection, Vitamin E, Refill Option

Redken Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo is a pH-balanced, sulfate-free shampoo designed to protect and extend the vibrancy and shine of color-treated hair. This salon-grade formula uses an acidic pH to help seal the hair surface after coloring, supporting longer-lasting tone and reflective shine without harsh sulfates. The formula is enriched with vitamin E and created to refresh glosses, toners and permanent haircolor while minimizing fading. The product is also offered in a refillable format that delivers significantly less plastic per milliliter, helping you reduce packaging waste without compromising performance.

How does this shampoo help preserve salon color between appointments?

Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo helps maintain color vibrancy by smoothing the hair cuticle so pigments remain more sealed and visible. Regular use makes color look fresher and reduces the rate of visible fading over time.

• pH-balanced acidic formulation supports sealed cuticles
• Sulfate-free surfactants to cleanse gently without aggressive stripping
• Designed to refresh permanent color, glosses and toners
• Formulated to deliver visible color retention across multiple washes

Will it add shine and improve hair texture after coloring?

The shampoo enhances surface reflection for noticeable shine and helps hair feel smoother by aligning the cuticle. Vitamin E helps condition the hair so strands move more uniformly, improving manageability and luster.

• Boosts reflective shine for fresher-looking color
• Smoother cuticle means less friction and better comb-through
• Light conditioning without heavy buildup

Is this product safe for frequent use and gentle on treated hair?

Yes—its sulfate-free cleansing system is formulated to clean without harsh detergents that can strip dye molecules. The gentle action makes it suitable for routine use to prolong salon-fresh results while supporting color longevity.

• Sulfate-free to reduce aggressive pigment removal
• Balanced formulation suitable for regular cleansing
• Works with colored hair types and chemical services like glosses and toners

How does the refill option help reduce environmental impact?

The refillable format reduces the amount of new plastic used per milliliter of product, helping lower packaging waste while still delivering the same formulation. Choosing a refill can be an easy way to cut single-use plastic without changing your haircare routine.

• Uses 68% less plastic per mL versus the brand’s 300 mL bottle
• Same formulation and performance in refill packaging
• Designed to fit the original bottle to simplify refilling

Who is this for: This shampoo is intended for anyone with color-treated hair who wants to extend the life of salon color, enhance shine, and cleanse without harsh sulfates. It's a good fit for people who regularly use glosses or toners, those looking to preserve professional color between salon visits, and eco-conscious shoppers who prefer refillable packaging to reduce plastic use.
