René Furterer COMPLEXE 5: How to Use This Cult Scalp Treatment
My long-term experience with the legendary scalp and hair vitality oil
I’ve wanted to share my thoughts about René Furterer COMPLEXE 5 for a long time. Designed to energize the scalp and help fight hair loss, this product truly delivers — and I’ve seen results not only in reduced shedding but also in faster, healthier hair growth.
Real Results — My Hair Growth Story
Over several months of consistent use, my hair grew nearly 2 inches in just four months — something I had never achieved before. I’ve been using COMPLEXE 5 for about three years now, but this time, I decided to document the results.

COMPLEXE 5 has become one of my absolute favorite products. In my opinion, it’s far superior to simple oils. The fragrance is uplifting — mainly citrus with notes of orange, lavender, and a hint of cinnamon. It smells natural, clean, and instantly refreshing.
How I Use COMPLEXE 5
Although the box recommends leaving it on for 15 minutes, I prefer to do an overnight treatment once a week for deeper results. The bottle’s precision tip makes it easy to apply directly to the scalp — I usually part my hair in 10–12 lines and distribute the oil evenly.
I massage it gently for 15–20 minutes, working into the scalp, neck, and roots for better circulation. Then I wrap my head with a warm towel and leave it overnight. In the morning, I wash my hair with my regular shampoo and conditioner. This has become my weekly ritual — and I never skip it.
Note: COMPLEXE 5 is a stimulating oil — you may feel a light tingling sensation.
That’s normal, but if you have very sensitive skin, I recommend using René Furterer’s formula for delicate scalps instead.
Visible Difference You Can Feel
Within weeks, my hair felt fuller, stronger, and more vibrant. What began as a hair-loss treatment has now become part of my regular hair growth and scalp wellness routine.
I also complement it with Omega-3 supplements during winter and a vitamin complex in spring to support overall hair health.
Cost & Value
One bottle lasts me about 3–4 months. At around $60 CAD, it’s not cheap — but it’s absolutely worth it. I usually buy it along with a shampoo or mask to get free shipping (and occasionally some sample minis like the Forticea Energizing Shampoo).
Even a once-a-year course in spring will make a noticeable difference in scalp vitality and hair thickness.
