Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste Serum is an advanced, professional leave-in defense barrier scalp serum formulated to rebalance, cleanse, and protect uncomfortably sensitive skin at the roots. It acts as a powerful antioxidant treatment for roots, shielding the scalp's delicate microbiome and balancing moisture levels to relieve irritation and localized discomfort associated with dryness.
Key ingredients inside Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste Serum include a high-performance Vitamin C derivative that shields and protects the scalp skin from external urban stressors and environmental aggressors, combined with an intensive 10% Bifidus Prebiotic extract to actively hydrate, rebalance the scalp's living microbiome, and normalize pH levels.
Apply this protective serum once every single day, either first thing in the morning or right before bed, for a consecutive three-week period to achieve an optimal rebalanced state. Work in sections on dry or towel-dried hair; use the pipette to apply three full doses directly onto your scalp skin across the different sections, then massage it in thoroughly with your fingertips. Do not rinse it away.
Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste Serum is suitable for all hair types and structures, including fine, medium, coarse, curly, straight, coily, and wavy hair. It is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with localized scalp skin sensitivities, surface dryness, tightness, or active irritation.
While it can be used twice a week for basic ongoing maintenance, it is highly recommended to apply Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste Serum daily as a dedicated three-week treatment cycle during times of heightened scalp discomfort, dryness, or intense environmental stress to fully restore skin barrier strength.
Yes, absolutely. Once you massage the fluid into your scalp completely, wait a couple of minutes for it to dry down. After it has cleanly absorbed, you can seamlessly incorporate other hair products into your styling routine—such as blow-dry milks, texturizing volumizers, or protective styling oils through your mid-lengths—to complete your hair care regimen.
Not at all. Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste Serum features a watery, fast-absorbing clear gel-like texture that melts into the skin surface completely within a couple of minutes. It leaves zero sticky film, heavy coating, or oily residue behind, ensuring fine or greasy roots maintain their airy lift and natural daily volume all day long.
Absolutely. Chemically lightened, highlighted, or coloured hair structures often have a highly sensitive, stressed scalp environment underneath. Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste Serum focuses its active rebalancing properties directly on the skin tissue, helping to rescue vulnerable roots without shifting, altering, or fading your salon colour shade.
The standard retail size bottle contains 90ml of this advanced styling fluid. The premium glass packaging features a precise dropper design that allows you to direct the fluid precisely across your different scalp lines without spilling or wasting any product.
While it works beautifully to rebalance the skin surface microbiome and prevent future irritation, it is not a direct anti-dandruff clarifying shampoo or treatment. If you are specifically dealing with chronic oily flakes or severe buildup, look to the Symbiose range instead to target that issue directly.
You will feel an instant, highly satisfying cooling sensation upon application that immediately targets tightness or irritation. Within a single week of consistent daily use, your scalp skin will feel significantly more hydrated, balanced, and remarkably fresh right from the base.
It features an incredibly clean, crisp, and revitalizing aroma built with top notes of fresh pear and citrus blossom, combined with a soft herbal heart. Kérastase Specifique Potentialiste Serum wraps your roots in a long-lasting freshness that smells remarkably elegant, expensive, and salon-fresh all day.
