Our Gly-Acid Blend features glycolic acid as well as other AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs, known for their ability to exfoliate the skin. Glycolic acid has a small molecular size which enables it to penetrate the skin deeply for effective exfoliation. This blend gently eliminates dead skin cells and buildup from products, dirt, and oil. To complement our exfoliating blend, we've enriched our formula with potent botanical extracts such as beet root, blue agave, and betaine that soothe the scalp and ensure the scalp remains nourished, balanced, and healthy. Lastly, Pentavitin™ prebiotic balances and improves scalp health by boosting hydration and reducing sebum.

It’s okay, won’t repurchase

"I had very high hopes for this product and really wanted to see a difference in how long my hair stays fresh for. Unfortunately it’s not as fresh as I’d expect day after wash"

— Agnieszka P. (2/5)

Work’s amazing

"This Scalp Exfoliator works great on my scalp. I love that the bottle is also an applicator. It’s so easy to apply to your scalp. You just use it 5 minutes before you wash your hair. After applying, you massage into the scalp. It has a nice scent that is kind of minty. You can feel it working after about 30 seconds. My scalp gets tingly and feels “minty”."

— Burseygirl84 (5/5)

I love it

"I am loving this product for taking care of my hair during the summer. I have very thick hair so getting my scalp clean can be a bit of a challenge. I love using this scalp care exfoliator to get my hair REALLY clean on wash days and I can see a huge difference in my scalp health and how much healthier my hair looks on days I use it."

— Chelsea (5/5)

This product is incredible!

"I’ve been looking for a product like this as far back as I can remember. My scalp gets oily and it feels like I can never get it clean no matter how thoroughly I shampoo. I’ve used this exfoliator twice now and I was sold after the first use. My scalp feels pristine! My hair stays fresh and doesn’t get greasy between shampoos. The applicator is perfect and makes this easy to use without wasting product. Please never discontinue this exfoliator. It’s a game changer!"

— Lori (5/5)

Amazing!

"I never realized how much buildup I had in my scalp until I started using this exfoliant. It’s so easy to use, I put it on my scalp when I get into the shower and let it sit for about 5 minutes before rinsing, followed by shampoo. It smells amazing and I really like how it has a cooling effect on my scalp when first applied. My hair feels healthier and bouncier after use. I’ll definitely buy this wonderful product again!"

— Mette (5/5)

Love this!

"I’ve had such a dry scalp lately so I was excited to try this scalp exfoliater. It lives up to the hype! I love the bottle applicator because the tip makes it easy to really get into your hair and spread the product throughout. After one use my hair was already feeling so much fresher and less flakey and dry!"

— Marie (5/5)

the cleanest scalp and hair!

"I could feel a difference after just one use of the scalp exfoliator. My scalp dead less itchy and I could feel the buildup wash away. I love how easy this is to use before showering and the nozzle was easy to use!"

— Liz (5/5)

My favorite scalp exfoliator

"My scalp loves this product!! I had previously tried other scalp exfoliants to help address dandruff, but this one is the best I’ve ever tried. I really love the twist to open applicator because it’s a lot easier to use in the shower or beforehand. It feels so nice on the scalp, and didn’t sting or bother my scalp at all. I think it’s definitely helping with my dandruff, and I would absolutely keep using this!"

— Emma (5/5)
