I had this for the longest time with irregular usage so my review came abit late. I used to buy separate shampoo and conditioners but now I am more convinced that shampoos and conditioners from the same brand and range do make a difference as compared with both of different brands. It may not applies to all brands but from the products that I have tried before, I would like mine to be from the same brand.

Garnier Fructus is highly raved for its affordability and effectiveness on some online magazines and since Singapore does not carry it, I had it shipped from USA, via Vpost.

Without its accompanying shampoo for colour vibrancy, I felt that this conditioner did not make a remarkable difference. I could be wrong, since I do not have the shampoo to use together with this conditioner. According to the product description at the back, the effectiveness is only guaranteed if I use the whole range of the colour treatment products. Sounds logical so I have nothing to pin on them.

The white creamy texture has a nice scent, detangles moderately well and made the hair soft and non-greasy. However the effects of colour retention was not that apparent so I probably will not get it again. Thats my sole purpose of buying this conditioner.

Just a reminder that a colour-enhancing shampoo should not have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate as it would strip the colour instead. I am not sure if the accompanying shampoo have that though.
For a colour-enhancing conditioner, it should have UV filters or colour-enhancing pigments.
(source) Hair can be best protected from UV damage by treating it with a leave-on formulation containing a
UV filter, prior to exposure. Most products on the market today that contain a UV filter for hair care are
formulated with ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC). An additional protection obtained would be with UVA filters such as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (BM-DBM).

In this conditioner, it does contain ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC) but as the 13th ingredient.
You can check out most of the ingredients on EWG Skin Deep but it did not list the full set of ingredients as what I have attached below. It could be because mine is the new and improved anti-fade system.
