Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair, Sulfate-Free pH-Balanced Shine

Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner is a pH-balanced, sulfate-free glossing conditioner that seals the cuticle to prolong color vibrancy and deliver salon-caliber shine.

If your hair is color-treated or you use toners and glosses at the salon, this conditioner is formulated to smooth the hair surface while helping maintain the look of freshly glazed color. Its acidic pH helps the cuticle lie flat, which boosts reflectivity and reduces color fade; the sulfate-free base preserves color integrity and leaves hair feeling conditioned without stripping. Use it as part of the Acidic Color Gloss system for longer-lasting vibrancy and added shine.

How does this conditioner protect and prolong salon color?

The formula is crafted to work at an acidic pH that helps close the cuticle after cleansing, minimizing pigment loss and preserving gloss. By avoiding sulfates, it reduces the risk of detergent-driven color stripping. Regular use after the matching shampoo helps maintain vibrancy for many washes compared with ordinary conditioners.

• pH-balanced formula that promotes a sealed cuticle for reduced fading
• Sulfate-free base to limit pigment-stripping surfactants
• Designed to be used with Acidic Color Gloss shampoo and treatment for best results

What visible results can I expect for shine and texture?

This conditioner is formulated to increase surface smoothness and light reflection, delivering noticeably shinier hair and a smoother feel. It contains glossing agents that create a reflective finish and condition the fiber for a healthier-looking appearance after styling.

• Up to visibly enhanced shine when used within the Acidic Color Gloss regimen
• Cuticle-smoothing action that reduces roughness and frizz
• Leaves hair soft and easier to detangle for cleaner styling

How should I include it in my routine for best performance?

Apply after shampooing with the Acidic Color Gloss Shampoo for a complementary effect; work a small amount through mid-lengths to ends, leave for a minute or two, then rinse. For deeper glossing, follow with the Glass Gloss Treatment or use the leave-in heat protection spray prior to styling to maintain finish and protect from heat.

• Use post-shampoo, focusing on mid-lengths and ends
• Leave in for 1–2 minutes before rinsing for optimal coating
• Combine with Glass Gloss Treatment and Heat Protection Spray for a full system approach

Is the formula suitable for my hair type and treatment history?

The conditioner is intended for color-treated, glossed, or toner-treated hair but can also benefit anyone aiming to boost shine and smoothness. Because it’s sulfate-free and pH-balanced, it’s gentle on chemically treated hair; however, results will vary with hair porosity and prior chemical services.

• Recommended for permanent color, glosses, and toner-treated hair
• Works well on hair with varying porosity to improve surface smoothness
• Vegan formulation—no animal-derived ingredients

Who is this for: Redken Acidic Color Gloss Conditioner is built for people who want to extend the life of salon color, add mirror-like shine, and smooth the hair cuticle without harsh sulfates. If you regularly color or gloss your hair and prefer salon-grade performance at home, this conditioner is formulated to help preserve vibrancy and finish between salon visits.
