  • Helps control flakes — supports a calmer, more balanced scalp.
  • Shine and smoothness — improves manageability and adds healthy shine.
  • Easy detangling — leaves hair smoother and easier to comb.
How to use
  1. After shampooing, apply from mid-lengths to ends on towel-dried hair.
  2. Leave 5–10 minutes.
  3. Rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice a week.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Symbiose Masque Revitalisant Essentiel is an intensive revitalising weekly mask for damaged hair on scalps prone to dandruff. Part of the Kérastase Symbiose range — the brand's dedicated anti-dandruff scalp-care line. Ultra-rich treatment that nourishes hair while completing the anti-dandruff routine.

Best for: damaged or sensitised hair on sensitive scalps prone to dandruff; hair needing deeper nourishment than the daily conditioner can deliver while keeping the anti-dandruff routine cohesive; the weekly intensive treatment step in a Symbiose routine paired with Bain Crème Anti-Pelliculaire (or Bain Pureté), in place of Fondant Apaisant Essentiel.
Less suited to: severely damaged hair primarily needing protein reconstruction (use Resistance Masque Thérapiste alongside Symbiose shampoo); hair without dandruff seeking general nourishment (use Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense or Resistance Masque Force Architecte); colour-treated hair primarily needing colour care (use Chroma Absolu Masque Chroma Filler alongside Symbiose); curly hair needing curl definition (use Curl Manifesto Masque Beurre Haute Nutrition alongside Symbiose).

Key actives:
- Salicylic Acid — anti-dandruff exfoliant that dissolves flakes
- Squalane — hydrating molecule that strengthens the skin barrier and helps retain natural moisture
- Rich conditioning base — ultra-nourishing for damaged lengths
- Soothing scalp ingredients — calm sensitised scalps
- Mandarin and blood orange fragrance — signature Symbiose scent
- Sulfate-free formula

Benefits:
- Intensely nourishes damaged hair while supporting the anti-dandruff routine
- Eliminates residues trapped in the lengths
- Restores strength, vitality, and softness
- Strengthens scalp barrier with Squalane
- Completes the anti-dandruff routine without compromising scalp care

How to use: After cleansing with Bain Crème Anti-Pelliculaire or Bain Pureté Anti-Pelliculaire, apply to clean, towel-dried hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Massage through. Leave on for 5–10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Use weekly, in place of Fondant Apaisant Essentiel.

Format: 200ml mask.
