Since it is best to apply the Avacor Physicians Formulation® to a clean, dry scalp, Avacor® offers a Scalp Detoxifying shampoo that is specially formulated to remove dirt, oil as well as other pollutants and residues from the scalp, resulting in a cleaner scalp to which the topical solution is then applied.
Avacor also has a “hair care” line consisting of Boost! by Avacor® Hair Thickener, The Avacor Thickening Shampoo and Volumizing Conditioner, as well as an Avacor Styling Gel.

Boost! by Avacor® is a unique proprietary formula that immediately adds volume and texture to fine or thinning hair.

The Avacor® Thickening Shampoo is formulated to gently cleanse and add body to flat, lifeless hair, providing volume without weighing down hair. While the Volumizing Conditioner is designed to give you a fuller, thicker, stronger, healthier-looking, hair while restoring shine as you condition.

The Avacor® Styling Gel gives your hair terrific volume and great hold without sticky build up.

The Avacor® brand was previously sold by a company named Global Vision Products. Global Vision Products Inc went bankrupt in 2007 and the new owners and managers continue to rebuild the brand today.
