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.

    Good but hard to use

    Ive been using it for a couple months now. It is a decent product but once you use about half the bottle it gets nearly impossible to get anything out of it. I squeeze and squeeze with all my might but barely anything comes out. I end up needing to unscrew the nozzle try to use but makes application harder. Ya'll really need to rethink your bottle. Its the only thing that makes me want to try other products.

    Hi Mariah, thank you for sticking with the Glycolic Acid Scalp Scrub for a couple of months - we're really glad the product itself is working for you! But we're sorry the bottle is making it such hard work.
    You've hit on something we've heard before - the exfoliating beads in the formula can get caught in the nozzle, which is exactly why it gets harder to squeeze the further down the bottle you get. It's genuinely frustrating and it's not the experience we want, especially with a product you otherwise like.
    A quick tip in the meantime: running the nozzle under warm water and giving it a rinse can help clear any trapped beads and get things flowing again.
    Your feedback is being passed to the right team - and please don't let the bottle be the reason you leave us! Our Customer Experience Team (help@theinkeylist.com) would love to help. 💙
