LOreal Professionnel Vitamino Color A-OX Color Radiance Protection Masque, 250 ml

How can you spot a real imported bottle from a counterfeit refill?

Examine the seal beneath the cap before opening—genuine LOreal Professionnel bottles arrive with an unbroken plastic collar that shows no signs of tampering or resealing. Check that the batch code on the label is clearly printed in matching ink and aligns perfectly with the box; refilled packs often have misaligned or reprinted codes that look slightly faded or uneven. The bottle itself should feel substantial and weighty, with smooth threading on the cap and no residue or dried product around the neck, which signals the bottle has never been opened before.

What results should first-time users expect and how often should you apply it?

Most people apply this masque once or twice weekly after shampooing, working a small amount through damp hair and rinsing after three to five minutes, though some prefer daily lightweight applications depending on their hair's condition. A walnut-sized portion treats shoulder-length hair adequately, so one bottle typically lasts two to four months depending on your hair length and treatment frequency. New users often notice their colored strands feel softer within the first week, though visible radiance improvements build gradually over two to three weeks of consistent use.

Where and how should you store this product to keep it fresh?

Keep your bottle in a cool, dry cupboard away from radiators, windows, and steamy bathrooms, as heat and humidity can alter the formula's consistency and reduce its effectiveness over time. Always close the cap tightly after each use to prevent the masque from thickening or separating; a properly sealed bottle stays usable for many months after opening. Store it at room temperature on a shelf where it remains accessible but protected from direct sunlight, which can degrade the protective compounds in the formula.
