Reviews Summary
Customers say this scalp scrub effectively removes buildup and leaves their scalp feeling clean and refreshed. Many appreciate how it addresses oily roots, product residue, and flakiness, with users reporting noticeably softer, shinier hair after use. Common feedback highlights the exfoliating beads work well for deep cleansing, though some find the squeeze bottle nozzle clogs easily. A few users note the scrub bits can be difficult to rinse out completely. Most recommend using it weekly as part of a regular hair care routine.

    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! 💙

    I like the product, I just wish the littlw castor oil beads didn't clog the snozzle of the squeeze bottle. I always had to clear it out and screw it back on to make sure. It does its job in exfoliating as well too. I love it. I guess always shake it enough before applying. It does make my scalp feel lighter and better in appearance of being weighed down. I always noticemy hair was flat
