It works!
I've only used it twice so far but I've already been feeling its effect! My scalp is usually on the oily side and it's been flaky and itchy for the past few months but the product helped a lot and it's not itchy or flaky anymore! Not gonna lie, when I got the product I was surprised because it was smaller than I thought and it was even leaking a bit but I would still give it 5 stars.

Don't lose your money
The bottle is very small, the pump does not work well and made my scalp greasy. I don't recommend the product. I would like to know how they apply 2 pumps in a scalp.

A MUST HAVE
My scalp over lockdown has taken a turn for the worst and I needed something to help reduce build-up and the dryness on my scalp. This has worked wonders and my scalps feel and look so much better. I only use 2 times a week and it made a massive difference. Highly recommend!

My new favourite beauty product
My eczema came back with a vengeance a few years ago on my scalp, and since then, I have tried SO many different products and home remedies at different price points. Some stopped the itching but not the scabbing/flaking, and vice versa. After reading the other reviews for this, I gave it a go and even after 1 use, my scalp looked and felt the best it's been in forever, and there's no flakes in my hair. Yes, the pump is not ideal, but for the price and the results, I can absolutely deal with it. I just wish there was a larger size available!

Love the juice hate the packaging
The product is innovative and works well but the packaging is awful. Mine leaks when shaking in a locked nozzle position. The nozzle releases too much product and is hard to get to your scalp so waste a lot of product. I know the Inkey list wants 100% recyclable packing but the pump is just not working. A plastic or glass pipette would be far better. Will not repurchase until the packaging improves.

It worked!
I've tried everything to figure out my dry scalp - coal tar shampoos etc, nothing worked without making my hair v dry. This product actually works! Yes, it's watery but that was fine for me, I used about 4 pumps for my scalp. I could feel a mild tingle as it worked.

This stuff really works!
I bought this with high hopes after seeing the good reviews and I have to say I am blown away. I've had chronic seborrheic dermatitis issues on and off for ages that leave my head constantly itchy and covered in oily, flaky scales. After just a few washes the itching has completely stopped and the scaliness is gone. As others have said the watery texture is a bit difficult to get used to – I've found the best way to apply is to section off the hair and apply directly from the pump to the scalp so you can massage it in with your fingers. If you're tried chemist shampoos etc and nothing's worked, give this a try as I can't believe how much it's helped my scalp.

A sad disappointment
I would echo the other reviews here commenting on the unsuitability of the pump dispenser bottle, the water like liquid that soaks your hair and not your scalp. I would add the product is in a very small bottle and did absolutely nothing for my scalp. Having tried two bottles I think my flakes were worse and my scalp oilier. I would not buy it again and would not recommend it.

Packaging needs work
This is a great product and works well at reducing flakiness in the scalp. However, the pump is a serious issue. The mechanism just squirts products everywhere and isn’t controlled enough for such a watery product. If the pump was more controlled this would be a 5-star product.
