Reviews Summary
Customers say this scalp scrub effectively removes buildup and leaves their scalp feeling clean and refreshed. Many report it helps with itchiness and flakiness, with noticeable results after the first use. Users appreciate how it makes hair feel softer and shinier, and allows longer periods between washes. However, packaging issues are frequently mentioned—the bottle nozzle clogs easily and the exfoliating beads can be difficult to rinse out completely. Some find the product too strong for sensitive scalps, while others praise its gentle formula that doesn't strip hair.

    Favourite product, worst packaging

    This is one of my holy grail products, I use it weekly it’s the only thing that keeps my scalp breakouts under control. BUT I hate the bottle cap sooooo much. Inkey List either needs to take the little scrubby bits out of the product and rename it; it’s just fine as a scalp “treatment”. Or it needs to put the product in a bottle with a bigger nozzle that won’t get clogged and blocked and need to be washed out all the time.

    Hi Katie, we absolutely love hearing that the Glycolic Acid Scalp Scrub is your holy grail and that it's keeping your scalp breakouts under control - that is exactly what we want to hear!
    We hear you completely on the bottle cap though - the nozzle clogging is not the experience we want getting in the way of a product you clearly love. Your suggestions are genuinely brilliant and we're making sure this feedback reaches the right team. You're not alone in this and it's exactly the kind of insight that helps us improve.
    Thank you for caring enough to share it so constructively - we really do appreciate it! 💙
