Reviews Summary
Customers say this scalp treatment delivers mixed results for different concerns. Many report immediate relief from itchiness and flakes after first use. The pre-wash treatment leaves scalps feeling clean and refreshed, with several noting reduced oil production. Some mention it helps them extend time between washes. Reviews frequently highlight the easy application process, though some find the liquid texture too runny. While most experience positive results, a segment of users report residue issues or no noticeable improvements. Regular weekly use appears key for maintaining results.

    Good so far

    Only just started using it, can see a slight difference already. But I think it’ll need a few more applications before I see a big change.

    Had no issues with it and it washes out well
