It worked!
I've tried everything to figure out my dry scalp - coal tar shampoos etc, nothing worked without making my hair v dry. This product actually works! Yes, it's watery but that was fine for me, I used about 4 pumps for my scalp. I could feel a mild tingle as it worked.

This stuff really works!
I bought this with high hopes after seeing the good reviews and I have to say I am blown away. I've had chronic seborrheic dermatitis issues on and off for ages that leave my head constantly itchy and covered in oily, flaky scales. After just a few washes the itching has completely stopped and the scaliness is gone. As others have said the watery texture is a bit difficult to get used to – I've found the best way to apply is to section off the hair and apply directly from the pump to the scalp so you can massage it in with your fingers. If you're tried chemist shampoos etc and nothing's worked, give this a try as I can't believe how much it's helped my scalp.

A sad disappointment
I would echo the other reviews here commenting on the unsuitability of the pump dispenser bottle, the water like liquid that soaks your hair and not your scalp. I would add the product is in a very small bottle and did absolutely nothing for my scalp. Having tried two bottles I think my flakes were worse and my scalp oilier. I would not buy it again and would not recommend it.

Packaging needs work
This is a great product and works well at reducing flakiness in the scalp. However, the pump is a serious issue. The mechanism just squirts products everywhere and isn’t controlled enough for such a watery product. If the pump was more controlled this would be a 5-star product.

Just okay, disappointed
I've left my review for a few weeks so I could really give this a go as I wanted to love it, but I'd say it's just average. I suffer from a really itchy scalp which gets flakey towards the front so I'm always looking for something that will combat that and so far nothing's worked. This product did help somewhat towards the 2nd or 3rd use, but as the other reviews say, the packaging is ridiculous. The liquid itself is basically water and if you're like me and you have thick hair, pumping it into your hand and applying to your head doesn't get down the scalp, it just coats your hair. I found the best way to use it was to put the nozzle directly against my scalp in the most affected areas and apply, but this does use a lot of product. My head does feel less itchy, the flakes aren't gone but they're somewhat better but the faff and expense is just not worth it. The hunt continues.

Good product but ...
I enjoy the product, it leaves my hair and scalp feeling extra clean. BUT the packaging is awful, and leaks everywhere! I have to use more like 10/15 pumps to cover my scalp, coupled with the fact you get so little product - I'm unlikely to repurchase.

Did nothing
Beware when pumping the product out, its very watery consistency and shoots out.. can be a bit messy applying. Wanted to love it but just found it didn't really do anything.

Curly Girl Approved - amazing!
I'm a curly girl but always have an itchy scalp. I've tried multiple ACV rinses and different CG methods (scalp massage treatment etc) without much difference but was so excited when I heard about this product at an affordable price with salicylic acid as a main ingredient. Used as a pre-shampoo treatment and the first time I was shocked! Amazing instant results including giving my curls more volume from the root and solving ALL scalp problems. Second time - same thing! Third week I skipped the process to test if it was due to this product (since I've tried other new products) and hands down this was the product that was doing wonders. Instantly works after washing and relieves the scalp. I want to make this part of my wash routine but just wish the bottle was bigger and the treatment not so watery. CG girls will defo need more than the amount they recommend. My only concern!!

Amazing product - awful packaging
I've only used this for a week and seen an amazing improvement on my dry scalp and oily-ness of hair but the packaging is just bad. It's impossible to even get a full pump out without it spilling everywhere- not sure if I just have a faulty bottle. If I'm being honest I will totally re-purchase the product but hope that they improve the packaging. I read a review suggesting a drop applicator which I would say is a better idea! I wouldn't usually mark a product down based on the packaging but this is so disappointing.

HOLY GRAIL!!
This was the third product that I bought from The Inkey List (I got the Caffeine and Vitamin C too), and it is my new favourite product!! I have super oily hair, and this has been a dream. I've used it a few times now and it makes my scalp feel really clean without feeling stripped, and my hair doesn't seem to get oily as quickly as it normally would.
