DESCRIPTION

 

CALM IT DOWN®
The first ever clinically effective post-hair dye scalp serum that soothes, nourishes, and cools the scalp after exposure to hair dyes, relaxers, or other chemicals — while delivering antioxidants, extracts, and peptides to support scalp and hair health.

WASH
The proactive shampoo for aging hair, Wash, contains The Mela-9™ Complex, our patent-pending, science-backed combination of antioxidants and a clinically efficacious peptide to slow and repigment grey hair while delivering thicker, fuller, healthier hair.

SMOOTH
Our nourishing and clean conditioner includes antioxidants and extracts that work to retain moisture inside the hair strand while leaving a conditioning barrier on the exterior.

100% natural fragrance from cedar and sage.

Dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic. Oil-free formula won't leave hair feeling greasy. Beneficial for all hair types.

USAGE

 

WASH
Wet hair and apply a liberal amount to hair and scalp, massaging into a rich lather. Allow lather to remain on the scalp for several minutes. Rinse hair well and follow with Arey Smooth conditioner for best results.

SMOOTH
Following Arey Wash Shampoo, apply from mid-shaft to ends of hair. Rinse immediately or leave on longer for a deeper conditioning experience.

Opting in to subscribe is the best way to maintain lasting results. If you wash your hair every 1-2 days, we recommend signing up for a 30 day subscription plan. If you wash every 2-4 days, a 60 day frequency would be right for you.

CALM IT DOWN™
Shake well. Depending on hair thickness, fill 2-4 pipettes and apply directly to wet scalp after hair dyes or chemical treatments, working from the front hairline to the back starting at your natural part. Massage into the scalp. Follow with additional applications as needed.

For extra protection, apply Calm It Down™️ directly to the scalp 4-6 hours before chemical exposure.

  • If more lather is needed, add more water and continue to massage into the scalp.

How it Works

Wash Shampoo

  • Stimulate

    A clinically efficacious peptide helps with repigmentation by stimulating the MC1-R (melanocortin 1 receptor).

  • Prepare

    Wasabi extract, sesame seed extract and zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit extract work to help the active ingredients penetrate the scalp and access the follicle

  • Nourish

    Ginseng, fo-ti and caffeine provide nourishment to the root to promote cell turnover and promote healthier hair growth

  • Volumize

    Panthenol plays a role in activating the proliferation of cells in the skin barrier, and also helps bind water to the skin and hair, balancing and adding volume to both

Smooth Conditioner

  • Nourish

    Hydrolyzed barley protein and coffee extract work together to build internal strength in the hair strand

  • Protect

    Jojoba and shea butter work to seal the cuticle and protect the hair from heat and environmental stress

  • Volumize

    Panthenol actively attracts and retains moisture in the hair strand, helping it look and feel more volumized

Calm It Down Scalp Serum

  • Soothe

    Extracts from Brazilian pepper trees and Australian aniseed nettle relieve redness and irritation.

  • Relieve

    Pentasodium Tetracarboxymethyl Palmitoyl Dipeptide-12 (and) Tripeptide-79 help to relieve scalp stress and manage inflammation.

  • Stimulate

    A clinically efficacious peptide helps with repigmentation by stimulating the MC1-R (melanocortin 1 receptor).

  • Safeguard

    Antioxidants including Tangerine extract and Fo-Ti help reduce oxidative stress in the scalp.

    Great product

    Ive used this duo for 3 months with oral supplements from arey. I feel like im starting to notice fewer greys. I like massaging the scalp with this shampoo. The smell is decent and it lathers really well! I do think the conditioner could feel more nourishing, but I understand that the goal of this product is to prevent greys, not necessarily leave you with the softest hair.

    very good so far!

    i have been using this shampoo and conditioner past 1-2 months and my hair looks soooo healthy. It feels very healthy too. I have not seen any progress on my grey hair but i know that is the timeline i need to wait 3-4 months. I am very hopeful.

    LOVE is an understatement

    I have to admit I was skeptical at first. Could a shampoo and conditioner, really support her health? But, as an avid skin care, consumer it didn’t seem like that far of a stretch. And let me just say I have been so pleasantly surprised my grades are dramatically less wiry, and my hair is so soft and healthy. Even my hairdresser friends have commented on how healthy my hair looks. Don’t sleep on this set!

    My new go to for hair care

    Been using arey for over a year now. My stylist noticed formerly grey roots are growing back pigmented when I come back for hair color touch ups. Best part - literally no hair in the shower drain. Seriously, that alone is worth every penny. As an added - and a significant for me - benefit, this is literally the only shampoo I’m able to use for so long without needing to swap: it doesn’t clog my hair, doesn’t make it oily, been consistent 3 days between washes since the start. Hair looks great, thick and shiny. Sounds too good to be true but it is. Switched to their supplements from another brand as well. My only neat pick - the bottle cap design is impossible; I travel often and the shampoo leaks terribly every time (the only spills in my twenty years of travel is arey shampoo). Once I had the entire bottle spill all over my suitcase and clothes during a 4 hr flight . I now travel planning that it’ll leak : zip lock bag with a cotton ball pad u der the cap, bit ridiculous. Emailed support about it once - no response . Otherwise supports been great too - super quick and polite. I’m definitely a fan and have pretty much all of their products on the shelf now. What a find!
