Redken Acidic Color Gloss Rinse-Out Treatment for Color-Treated Hair — Apricot Oil, pH-Balancing Shine

Redken Acidic Color Gloss Glass Gloss Treatment is a professional-strength, at-home rinse-out gloss that instantly seals the cuticle and delivers intense, salon-quality shine for color-treated hair.

This pre-activated, ultra-acidic formula was created to refresh color-treated hair between salon visits by smoothing the hair surface and locking in a glass-like finish. Formulated with citric acid and hydrogen peroxide to adjust pH and apricot oil to replenish moisture, the treatment is designed to restore radiance and manageability without heavy buildup. It works best when paired with the Acidic Color Gloss shampoo and conditioner, and it offers a convenient rinse-out application for at-home maintenance.

How does this gloss treatment restore shine so quickly?

The formula lowers cuticle lift by bringing hair to a more acidic pH, which helps flatten the cuticle and reflect light more uniformly. Pre-activation with hydrogen peroxide supports gentle surface refinement while apricot oil conditions and smooths. Together they create a visible glass-like sheen almost immediately after rinsing.

• pH-balanced action to help seal cuticle and increase light reflection
• Hydrogen peroxide for gentle surface refinement
• Apricot oil delivers lightweight conditioning and added smoothness

How long will the glossy effect last on color-treated hair?

When used as directed and combined with Acidic Color Gloss shampoo and conditioner, the glossy finish can persist for several days of wear. Duration depends on hair porosity, styling frequency, and exposure to water or heat. For optimal longevity, reduce harsh shampoos and use color-safe, sulfate-free cleansers.

• Typically provides enhanced shine for up to 3 days with the full regimen
• Works best on freshly colored or previously color-treated hair
• Reapply as a periodic maintenance step between salon glosses

Is this gloss safe and easy to use at home?

Yes—this rinse-out treatment is formulated for at-home use and follows salon principles of pH correction and conditioning. The treatment comes pre-activated for straightforward application: apply, leave for the recommended time, then rinse thoroughly. Always follow label instructions and perform a patch or strand test if concerned about sensitivity or unexpected color change.

• Pre-activated, rinse-out application suited to home use
• Follow recommended timing and rinse thoroughly to avoid buildup
• Compatible with color-treated and naturally colored hair; conduct patch test if needed
