Tackle flaky, oily and itchy-feeling scalps head on with our Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Treatment. ​ ​

Formulated as a pre-wash treatment, it works to gently exfoliate and slough off dead skin cells on the scalp's surface to eliminate product buildup, reduce flakes, and minimize excess oil. Clinically proven to deliver visible results after one use, the formula soothes an itchy-feeling scalp, leaving it feeling healthier and more balanced.​ ​

Known for its exfoliating properties, Salicylic Acid helps to slough off dead skin cells, reduce oil levels and remove impurities from the surface of the scalp. The addition of FLUIDIPURE™ 8G and PANTHENOL delivers extra hydration and moisturization benefits to help soothe and calm while visibly reducing the appearance of redness on the scalp.​ ​

Suitable for all hair types including sensitive scalps and colour-treated hair, use as a pre-wash treatment, 1-2 times per week to refresh the roots and maintain a calm, balanced scalp.​

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.

    My scalp was flaky and itchy, so I bought this since it promised to resolve it. Takes a couple of uses but definitely reduced the flakiness.
