Original review Jan 15, 2025

Calling customer service which Pantene has a clear shampoo see-thru like water-no conditioner in it. Bought for years the same preferred shampoo.

Could double check as on bottle clear not havig to confirmed by description or label on shampoo.

Shampoos with conditioner makes hair limp-too soft. Hair is fine not thin

New Commercial

  • - A longtime Pantene user, they like the product.

Your new commercial with the lesbians grooming their son is horrible, I have purchased Pantene for years now & actually like your product a lot, however I will NEVER purchase any of your products again. You have lost a loyal customer & I hope others will follow my lead. GO WOKE GO BROKE!!!

Preferred solution: I don't want anything & will never purchase any if your product again

Shampoo Question

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Loved Passion Fruit; pump broke and it was returned to Costco.
  • - Lemon Rosemary is not enjoyed and does not foam; a coupon to replace it is coming.

I bought Botanical Essential (Passion Fruit) and loved it. The pump broke off and I returned it to Costco.

I went to get another one, but they did not have any. I called Pantene to ask about availability and was told it was still being made but supply was currently a problem. I did not want to, but I did order a different fragrance. I have not enjoyed this new fragrance of Botanical Essential (Lemon/Rosemary).

But even more than that, the dispensing mechanism did not create a foam like the Passion Fruit did. This was the reason for my current call. My representative researched the Passion Fruit and let me know it was still being made but still was a supply problem. She advised that it was exclusively available through Costco.

I will continue to look for that product, because I truly think it is the best. In the meantime my representative is sending me a coupon so I can replace the Lemon Rosemary to have a working pump.

AI Highlights
  • - The reviewer filled out the survey and called Pantene twice after not finding a product.
  • - They ordered a different fragrance, and the pump didn't work.

I am sure I have filled out this this survey/questionnaire. I called Pantene twice.

The 1st time because I could not find a particular product anywhere.

I ended up ordering a different fragrance and when I got that 1 the pump did not work properly. Customer service was outstanding both times.

False Advertisement?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Pantene is showing a television advertisement of an African American female advertising Pantene. The girl has on a wig, it is not her own natural hair. Pantene is advertising what the product can do for your hair, make it look like, not for this hair, it is a wig or are you saying its for wigs also?

Preferred solution: Clarification---Better advertisement{truthfulness}

User's recommendation: Be observant and be careful of the product and what it is really for.
