Super-clean scalp!
I bought this in the hope that it would keep my oily roots cleaner for longer... and my word does it do the job! I applied it as it said, 2 pumps on the scalp onto dry hair, leave on for 10 minutes then hopped in the shower and washed my hair as normal. My scalp felt so clean and refreshed afterwards and even gave a bit of volume at the roots! Would 100% recommend to anyone who finds that their hair gets greasy quickly.

BEST PRODUCT EVER!
I used this twice and I'm telling you if you have OILY/DRY scalp - this WORKS! Leave this on overnight and wash off in the morning.

It doesn’t do anything
It’s incredibly watery, so prepare for the product to be wasted. A droplet applicator would have been better. And the product actually made my scalp more irritated.

The Best Thing
Honestly, this product is the only thing that has ever worked on my eczema. I have used a hundred different shampoos and hair masks but nothing has ever worked like this. Even after the first application, there was a noticeable different. I'll definitely be buying more of this.

I like it...
I'm very impressed with the active ingredients in this product. I used this as a pre-poo for 10 minutes (as recommended) and my scalp definitely felt cleaner. My issue concerns the application of this product. It has exactly the same consistency as water, so it got very messy when applying this to my scalp as it ran all down my face. Because of this, I used way more than I wanted. I'd be much happier if the product itself was more viscous. The bottle is also small so I'm unsure if I'll be repurchasing.

IT WORKS!
I've had dandruff for two years now, and nothing has helped. My scalp is constantly itchy (especially when I am stressed). I've tried all the major anti-dandruff shampoos (and natural ones with tea tree) but dandruff/itch comes back a few days later. As soon as I applied this to my hair, I could feel instant relief from any itch. I still have some dandruff - but the itch has gone. I have only used this once, though. My scalp does not smell like cheese anymore after using this! If this is you, please add this to your cart and give it a go!

GAMECHANGER
This serum literally transformed my head after the FIRST go - I’m amazed! I’ve tried and failed with so many others scalp products after suffering from psoriasis for ages and this is the only one that’s made a difference - and from one use! Extra bonus for how affordable it is. This will be a permanent in my bathroom now

Almost Amazing
I wanted to leave a review for folks with 4C/loc'd hair like myself. You're going to need way more than two drops to cover your scalp! The pump design does the product no favours and it's so small that this may seem not worth wild for those of us with thick hair to get through, but it is good. I can feel the difference and I can't wait to see what will happen with prolonged use.

Blown away.
Ok, so I just used the salicylic acid scalp treatment for the first time. I wasn't expecting instant results if I'm honest. Just for reference I scratch and scratch my scalp until it bleeds because it's so itchy, it's flakey and also feeling thin because of the constant scratching. 7 minutes in from the treatment and giant flakes have lifted away and at the moment it's almost as if the treatment has neutralized the itchiness? I've tried special medicated shampoos, the lot and none of it worked. This stuff is actually magic.

LOVE
I just tried this for the first time - and although I may be pretty hasty here in my review - I am absolutely in love with this product. I bought a few to try from The Inkey List’s new hair range, and this pre-shampoo treatment instantly relieved and calmed my scalp. I sat with it on in the bath for 10 minutes before washing out. Just to note - it says it’s a serum and to rub between hands before applying - be careful! The consistency is almost like water and I wasn’t prepared for this. Excited to try the other products! Such an affordable price too.
