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.

    Great product for oily and dandruff-prone hair

    I've been using it for years, alternating with my regular anti-dandruff and oily hair shampoo, and it helps significantly in reducing the itchiness sensation associated with such conditions.

    Good for itchy scalp

    I have an oily and flake-prone scalp, which can get itchy if not properly cleaned. Applying this product periodically, in combination with an anti-dandruff shampoo, can significantly help alleviate the itchy feeling.
