Didn’t really do anything
Love the Inkey List but I’m not sure this really did anything other than potentially making me scalp quite itchy! Not sure this is a success unfortunately and won’t be purchasing again :(

Great but small
So I was looking forward to it as I do the curly hair method and I get a good amount of build up every few weeks so I used this. I had to use alot to cover my scalp. And I kept it on for at at least an hour so it could do it's thing. Don't worry, it's not strong or stingy. It helped, it really did but that one bottle did two uses. So they say it's cheap but it was £12 for two uses! So I won't buy again

Tiny bottle for the price
I found this helped my scalp psoriasis but there’s only enough in the bottle for a couple of uses. The texture is very watery so it’s easy to waste the product as well. It would be great if the product was bigger for prolonged use but it’s definitely not worth splurging for as there are better products out there that are worth the buck.

Disappointed
I've been using this product for over a month. No effect at all. Plus, the packaging is not the most convenient one for product distribution.

Did nothing for Oil
Used this for a couple months now. It has done nothing to help with my oily scalp. Changed nothing to make my oilly hair last onger between washes. Still gets oily next or couple days after. Waste of my money.

Too watery
I found this product difficult to use as it’s super watery and difficult to apply. It says to use two pumps but I ended up using at least six to cover my hair. Didn’t notice any difference after using this so will not repurchase.

Did absolutely nothing - in fact, dried my scalp out
I had high hopes for this but it did absolutely nothing for my scalp. If anything, it dried it out even more and left it sore in places. It did nothing at all to remove any flakes and dry patches - in fact, my regular shampoo or Head & Shoulders works better! It's incredibly expensive for such a tiny bottle and when I purchased it, the image showed a pump top. When it arrived it had a simple plastic top, as is now shown in the updated image.This makes it almost impossible to apply, as you need to drip it into your palm and then use your fingers to rub it into your scalp. It took ages to get it all on, and I used quite a lot of the product in one go.I won't be using this again.

bye flakes
I purchased this for my boyfriend; during periods of stress his head becomes a flaky mess (he usually has mild dandruff) and this worked wonders! He really loves it and uses it once a week. I had warned him that it is runny from the reviews here but he is managing it and for the price point… it’s a steal!

Great formula, bad product
Treatment addresses my main scalp concerns: removes sebum deposit, reduces breakouts, prevents flaky skin. Great formula for very oily or flakey scalp. Kudos for aluminium packaging thus reducing plastic. Everything else about this product is mistake. Bottle is laughably small, 50 ml is suitable for mini product, 150 ml should be standard size. Application method is wrong as there is no way to reach scalp once product is massaged between hands. Pump splashes product everywhere - 20 % is wasted. Will not repurchase.All that makes me think that The Ikey List released this product

Worst treatment ever
Before using this product I only had a small dandruff problem. Now, I’ve been using it for a month, my scalp is itchy and big chunks of it are peeling off. It’s uncomfortable and it hurts. Would not recommend!
