A lightweight serum that helps to remove flakes and itchiness through gently exfoliating the scalp, balance oil production and reduce redness.

Exfoliating the scalp is vital to remove dead skin and product build up and give the roots the chance to thrive and lift versus being weighed  down. It's a common mistake to think that a flaky  and itchy  scalp is caused by a dry scalp. Often, a dry flaky scalp is caused  by over production of oil by the sebaceous gland located near the hair follicles.

Salicylic Acid works to remove flakes through gently exfoliating the scalp, and similarly to its role in skincare, it also helps to  balance  oil levels  production.  The two other ingredients,  FLUIDIPURE™ 8G   and PANTHENOL respectively  help to reduce scalp’s redness and to hydrate and moisturise the scalp and hair.

Who is it for?

Good for: All hair types

Improved but not enough

I've been using the Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Treatment for about 3 months now with different shampoos. I was hoping that this would help me address the dandruff on my scalp. On the whole I feel that it definitely helped, the amount of dandruff on my scalp right after shampooing has decreased, but it is still there. Although I do feel that the type of shampoo that you use also contributes to it (I saw better results using a coconut and shea butter shampoo bar fyi). That's one star down.

The second star went down because of the application. Since the formulation is so watery it is very difficult to spread it evenly on my scalp, and I'm not even sure of how much of it reaches my scalp (since I have a lot of hair, I have a feeling that my hair captures the formulation before it gets the chance to reach the scalp? Not so sure).

Also I felt that for my scalp, 10 minutes might have been too long so I tried to limit the contact time by mixing it with my shampoo (thus basically washing it off right after). This was recommended on the bottle but I have mixed feelings about it, since then the formulation wouldn't have enough time to work? Would appreciate a clarification of what would be the generally recommended minimum time for the formulation to sit on the scalp :)

Hi there! Thank you so much for leaving us the review, we really value your feedback and opinion. If you're struggling with dandruff and are not seeing long term results it may be worth checking with your doctor to start a treatment plan that is perfect for you!

We advise to apply the Salicylic Acid Scalp Treatment 10 minutes before you wash your hair. Alternatively, you can also incorporate this in your routine and use with your shampoo and conditioner as an extra boost.

Please do not hesitate to contact us on #askINKEY if you need any further help, we're always here!

Great at getting rid of product buildup!

This gets rid of mostly all of the product buildup I have in a week so that I can go in with a gentle shampoo afterwards. My hair says thanks!

Helpful but not a cure

It was helpful but I still struggled with my scalp. It sometimes left a residue in my hair. But it did help some!
