"Pantin" - a well-known brand of shampoo, of those that, as they say, is always at the hearing. However, does this approach guarantee the quality of the product used? We decided to figure out what Pantene Pro-V was, carefully examining both positive and negative reviews, as well as comparing it with lesser-known brands.
Of course, it will not be possible to consider all the brand lines, but below are the most popular ones that have already won their niche in the market.
Hair shampoo brand
In 2015, the Pantin hair shampoo brand turned 70 years old. During this impressive period, "Pantin Provi" managed to establish itself in the market and win fans. The name of the legendary brand, which is currently owned by Procter & Gembel, comes from the term panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, which has the property of beneficially affecting the condition of the skin and hair. That is why Pantene Pro-V is associated with innovation in the field of beauty. Many women choose it to care for their hair, but what are they guided by this?
Shampoo "Intensive recovery"
The Pantin Provi: Intensive Recovery series is designed specifically for damaged hair and promises to restore its strength, health and shine. There are four hair care products in it: in addition to shampoo, a balm and two masks. Each brand fan will use at least the first of these products.
Pantin is a panthenol-containing shampoo, and Intensive Recovery is no exception. The provitamin factor penetrates the hair structure gradually and accumulates there, so the effect lasts for a long time.
What do people say?
Opinions regarding the Intensive Recovery series remedy were divided, but positive ones prevailed.
In addition to the exact fulfillment of the task assigned to it - returning the hair to a healthy appearance, users also praise the convenient packaging, pleasant aroma, easy application to the hair, and also how easy Pantin shampoo is washed off. Reviews assure that the effect is noticeable after the first application.
But there is an opposite opinion: for example, the remedy is often blamed for causing hair loss. Such a consequence of the application can be seen immediately, and, unfortunately, means only one thing: “Pantin” is not like your hair.
Shampoo "Thick and Strong"
"Pantin: Thick and Strong" gently cares for hair, maintaining their healthy state, giving shine, enhancing the density. It is recommended for thin and weakened hair, strengthening them, making them more voluminous. The strength of hair is guaranteed by the special Pantene Pro-V formula and keratin protection system. As a result, lifeless hair seems to have a "second wind", and they again delight their owner with a healthy appearance and density.
The complex of vitamins includes not only reducing substances, but also protective ones, allowing you to maintain the effect of the application for a long time.
Reviews
If this line of Pantin hair care products is right for you, then rest assured: the result will not be long in coming - this can be judged by user reviews.
Users are also pleased with the condition of the hair after applying the Pantin brand products (shampoo copes excellently even with the most difficult cases), as well as the consistency of the product and the packaging design - convenient, carefully thought out. The capacity fits easily into the hand, the contents are conveniently squeezed out. There are many such reviews: women are clearly pleased with their purchase. The hair after Pantina is easy to comb and style.
The opposite effect of use - itching and dandruff - are known consequences of improperly selected shampoo. The smell and consistency, by the way, are usually liked even by those for whom the remedy did not fit.
"Cleansing and nutrition"
Shampoo "Pantin: Cleansing and Nutrition" is available for mixed hair or prone to greasy. It gives a double effect: on the one hand, it thoroughly cleans the hair of contaminants, which is important for quickly contaminated hair, on the other, it strengthens and nourishes so that the curls do not become brittle, weak and lifeless.
Recommendations from users
This line of "Pantin" (shampoo, balm and masks) is extremely popular with consumers. Unlike the usual products of this brand, the shampoo has a pronounced fruity smell (contains a highly effective grapefruit extract), in appearance it is transparent, and not milky white.
The double effect described above is especially good: many products can thoroughly clean oily hair , but to give them strength, volume, and shine without weighting, with a long-term effect and without requiring user effort, this is a more difficult task, but Pantin shampoo "grapefruit dealt with her one hundred percent.
Reviews about the smell of the drug are interesting: some regret that it does not stay on the hair, others, on the contrary, complain that it is so strong that it is even difficult to kill with perfume or deodorant.
Aqua Light
Shampoo "Pantin: Aqua Light" has no special indications for the condition of the hair: it does not restore the hair structure. But the remedy is light and nutritious. Just what is needed if the only thing required is a thorough cleansing and a long-lasting sensation of clean hair.
What about the reviews?
Pantin: Aqua Light hair shampoo actually gives a feeling of lightness: after washing the hair does not become heavier, and the scalp does not become dry.
Well suited even for sensitive skin: cares carefully, does not cause itching, discomfort and dandruff in most cases.
In addition, the reviews point out the economical consumption of shampoo - a small amount is enough for washing. The product is transparent, has an unobtrusive smell.
Among the shortcomings, insufficient nutrition is noted, which means that it will not work for problem hair. Also, when using Aqua Light series shampoo without the appropriate balm, the hair begins to get very confused. So it is recommended to purchase the entire line from Pantin.
"Nutrition and Shine"
Pantin: Nutrition and Shine is for normal hair. However, it can also be used, even if the hair is prone to fat. As the name implies (and they are always talking on this brand), a complex of vitamins nourishes the hair and solves the problem of dullness. It perfectly cleans the hair from pollution, gives it strength and a healthy look.
Surfactants are responsible for the washing ability of the product. Their work can be evaluated on a solid five. However, they also have a drawback, because such a composition can adversely affect sensitive skin, cause irritation.
Opinions
The line "Nutrition and Shine" for normal hair was released not so long ago, before that the same series was known, only for dry hair. Users gladly accepted the new product: praised for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency. They noted that after the first washing, the hair becomes smooth and soft. Curls a little - for some it’s a drawback, for someone, on the contrary, it’s a pleasant surprise.
However, not everyone was so pleased with the quality and the result. "Old-timers" claim that the brand was much better before, and now the brand is "not the same", is not able to compete with others.
Owners of sensitive scalp also leave negative reviews - the “shock” complex of vitamins was not as good as the manufacturers thought, and instead of the promised nutrition and shine, it brought only irritation and discomfort.
“Dove”, “Ciez”, “Garnier” and others - does Pantin stand comparison with competitors?
The famous brand constantly walks the fine line between a quality product and a mass market. Prevalence and accessibility are absolute pluses on the one hand, but at the same time they do not allow Pantin to be called a professional tool, unlike, for example, the same Siesa, which appeared not so long ago, but has already won the recognition of consumers.
What is the situation in reality?
They say that Pantin is not recommended for daily use (although the manufacturer, of course, claims the opposite), since it dries hair. At the same time, the complex of vitamins included in it has a beneficial effect on the state of hair. So is it worth choosing Pantin shampoo for washing? The reviews clearly reflect the following situation: if you don’t try, you don’t know.
Like many other remedies, Provi may or may not suit, so the result for one woman can radically differ from that for others. Nevertheless, Pantin earned its popularity and the love of many for a reason.
Fructis vs. Pantin
When compared with Italian-made Fructis, Pantin Provi lost - while the first was able to present the result indicated on the package without any additional hair care products, the second itself could not demonstrate a stunning effect. However, this may be the problem of foreign / domestic production.
In addition, Pantin always has a trump card in the sleeve in the form of convenient packaging. "Fructis" with long nails is almost impossible to open, except that spoiling a wonderful manicure. And the packaging from Prov is always convenient and unobtrusive, both with shampoos and balms / masks / conditioners.
Cie vs Pantina
Interestingly, the product of the mass market was not inferior in comparison to the famous professional tool. When testing shampoos and balms against hair loss (Cie and Pantin: Thick and Strong), both showed remarkable results. The second is perhaps even better than the first. The hair was really restored, the hair on the comb after several uses disappeared as if by magic.
Of course, you should take into account your hair type - a positive result means that the manufacturers did not try in vain, releasing Pantin, a shampoo that perfectly copes with its task, but does not determine that the above effect (loss has decreased to ninety percent) will each women who bought the remedy.
Finally
Pantin is a very famous brand all over the world. Consumers are usually divided into two types: those who, once having tried the product, remained faithful to it, and those who, after the first application, decided not to touch it anymore. It is worth noting that there are more of the first ones.
Of course, Pantin Provi does not become a universal solution to any hair problem. Those who stopped at the Garnier or Clean Line, too, no doubt made the right choice.
At the same time, it is difficult to argue with the fact that constant innovations in the beauty world to a certain extent belong precisely to the Pantin brand - once they learned about the miraculous effect of panthenol for hairstyles, manufacturers did not stop there, they constantly delight users, releasing new lines for different types of hair to meet the needs of each consumer, no matter how problematic his hairstyle.
Should I try at least once? Definitely yes. Indeed, it’s the Pantin Provi that may be ideal for your hair, a savior and your favorite jar on a shelf in the bathroom.
