Good News!
David (our graying office manager) has agreed to test the Joico Re:nual Serum to see if it really works. We are going to track his progress and post it here for you to read.. and see. He has agreed to use the entire system -- shampoo, conditioner, primer & serum -- for the next 6 months to test Renu's claims to reverse the graying process.
I will be posting his thoughts weekly, and as soon as I can find a functioning scanner I will post the before & after pictures I dragged out of my sales rep. I will be the first one to say that I am extremely skeptical of the pictures since I cannot see the subject's face you cannot tell if it's even the same person. David and I are planning to take pictures once a week in the exact same location to minimize lighting differences and such.
I tried the Shampoo, Conditioner & Primer for softness and manageability on my own hair last week, and was impressed with the results. Because my hair is longer than most, and because I color it I usually have to deal with gnarly tangles after washing my hair. I liked the fragrance of the shampoo, and the conditioner/primer left only a few snarls. The shampoo is sulfate-free (like many color-extending shampoos) so it did not lather as much as I like, but I still felt like my scalp was clean, which is my big beef with sulfate-free products. It runs about the same price as Alterna and Pureology, but I would recommend using it in tandem with the serum to achieve the best results. At least we know for sure there's nothing in it to counteract the serum.
Stay tuned for more!
thanks for doing this. It is great to get some unbiased reviews.

You are welcome! We like to test all the new products, the the time involvement for this product was challenging.
