Thoughts:
- Doesn't feel like the shampoo cleanses my scalp properly, it's clean but still oily, the heck.
- Makes my hair feel stringy - I don't even understand how it is possible, but it's not nice. Is it the urea?
- After some weeks of trialing this shampoo and not using anything else in between, my scalp got all the time oilier and itchier! Took some time to reverse that.
- Smells like glue... you know, the unfragranced cosmetics smell. So unpleasant.
- So thin liquid shampoo, actually a bit difficult to get everywhere on scalp and between hair evenly. Doesn't foam much.
+ Hmm... The bottle has a nice shape. Nice packaging as well.
+ Includes a lot of good moisturizing and conditioning ingredients, like panthenol, betaine, bisabolol, allantoin...

* This was an impulse purchase while grocery shopping. I thought a shampoo with urea would be a great addition to my scalp care, despite the bottle saying it's for a dry scalp. Weeell, here I learn that impulse purchases are not always worth it.
* If urea as a scalp treatment also makes the hair ends stringy even though I don't rub the shampoo into them, I don't think I can/want to use urea products for my hair care... maybe I test some other product sometime.
Price:
I paid 5 € / 200 ml
Bought from:
Supermarket
Buy again?
No.
Worth the money?
Numis Med's Urea 5% Shampoo just did not work for me. At the same time it manages to leave my hair ends stringy and dry, while not cleansing my scalp properly. I must admit I like the basic Head & Shoulders better. For a dry scalp, yeah maybe it works, but what about the stringy, dry, uncomfortable hair ends then? I'm puzzled. I wonder if I should just "hate pan" the shampoo or throw it away? Maybe I'll try to use it every now and then and see if anything changes.
