Tackle flaky, oily and itchy-feeling scalps head on with our Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Treatment. ​ ​

Formulated as a pre-wash treatment, it works to gently exfoliate and slough off dead skin cells on the scalp's surface to eliminate product buildup, reduce flakes, and minimize excess oil.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this scalp treatment delivers mixed results for different concerns. Many reviews mention immediate relief from itchiness and flakiness after first use. The pre-wash treatment leaves scalps feeling clean and refreshed, with several noting reduced oil production. While some experience significant improvements in scalp comfort, others report issues with the watery texture and residue after washing. Common feedback includes the convenience of the applicator, though some find it prone to clogging. Regular weekly use appears key for maintaining results. Reviews are mixed on its effectiveness for oily scalps, with some seeing improvement while others notice no change.

    bad but good??

    The first time I used this, I have never been itchier in my life. I also got so scared it dried out my hair…

    BUT two weeks later I have noticed less itch and way less flakes. So IDK. I haven’t changed anything else in my hair care routine.

    Amazing product.

    I have suffered with scalp psoriasis for about 12 months nothing was working to help it. Someone recommended this. I have been using it before washing my hair for about 8 weeks and my scalp is amazing! Highly recommend!

    So far so good

    Only been using for a couple weeks now, I don’t know if it’s me or I have actually seen a difference in how quickly my hair gets greasy. I have very thin and few hair, they usually start getting greasy only hours after washing. At 24 hours I have to use dry shampoo, and I wash every other day. With this lotion I kinda feel like I get a few extra hours without the grease. We’ll see how it goes. Some of the cons: I felt like my head was a bit itchy at times, but not sure it’s related, and it seems like the bottle won’t last long.
