Why the scalp comes first
Most hair care is designed for the lengths. Adenovital starts a few millimetres lower. The shampoo cleanses thoroughly without leaving the scalp tight, and the essence goes directly onto the skin of the scalp through a slim nozzle, so nothing weighs the hair down. Both are built around adenosine, the signature ingredient of the range, with a light menthol finish that feels genuinely welcome in UAE heat.
How to use the pair
Start with the Adenovital Shampoo, massaging it into the scalp with your fingertips. After washing, apply the Adenovital Advanced Scalp Essence to a towel-dried scalp, section by section, then massage it in for about a minute. No rinsing, and you can style as usual. The essence also works on dry hair, at any time of day.
Who it suits
The pair suits anyone whose hair looks less full than before, whose scalp feels tight or dry after washing, or who prefers a light, fast-absorbing treatment to an oily one. If your scalp is sensitive to alcohol or menthol, patch test the essence first.

FAQ
What is Shiseido Professional?
It is Shiseido's professional hair care line, developed in Japan for salons. Adenovital is its scalp care range.
Which product should I use first?
The shampoo comes first, because it prepares the scalp. The scalp essence follows on a towel-dried or dry scalp, and is not rinsed out.
Will the scalp essence make my hair greasy?
No. It is a light, alcohol-based formula that absorbs quickly, so it does not sit on the scalp or leave hair limp.
Is it suitable for a sensitive scalp?
The essence contains ethanol and menthol, and a light tingle is normal. If your scalp is sensitive, patch test first. Do not use either product on a scalp with wounds, irritation, eczema or sunburn.
Is the shampoo colour-safe?
Shiseido does not list the Adenovital Shampoo as colour-safe, so if your hair is colour-treated, ask your colourist first.
