Powered by 7% glycolic acid, 2.5% Symcontrol Scalp microalgae, and 2% biodegradable castor beads, it balances the scalp microbiome, regulates sebum, and promotes healthier hair growth. Suitable for all hair types, fragrance-free, and cruelty-free, it offers a quick 10-minute scalp reset that leaves hair refreshed and roots plumped. ## Description Product Description This gentle exfoliating scrub formulated with both chemical and physical exfoliators, helps to remove product buildup and dead skin cells to leave hair looking healthy. This unique formulation also helps to protect and balance the scalp’s microbiome and keep the hair follicles clean. Excess of buildup on the scalp can disrupt the healthy function of the hair follicle. Removing the buildup encourages the roots to lift up, as well as normal hair growth.

Review: Wow - I've recently started investing in weekly scalp care to help look after my hair, prevent blocked follicles and to hopefully encourage growth, while making sure my scalp is healthy. I find this product very easy to use. Application is super easy and convenient. The level of glycolic acid doesn't make my scalp at all sensitive during or post treatment. I've noticed a significant reduction on itching and flaking. I also find this to be great for clarifying the scalp and removing build up without doing the scalp or hair. I'll definitely keep using this a couple of times a month for a reset though you could use this weekly if needed. I feel this would be good for most scalp types to try. Often greasy scalps are actually dry scalps trying to compensate. This has drastically cut down on the grease and sebum production without any drying effect. If you're investing in your hair then it makes sense to add in scalp care too. This is a fast and easy way to do so and, I find, the results are fantastic. Review: Great for a deep Scalp cleanse - I've noticed a big difference in my scalp health since I started using this. It effectively removes product buildup and leaves my scalp feeling refreshed and clean. The nozzle makes it very easy to apply directly to the roots.

It effectively removes product buildup and leaves my scalp feeling refreshed and clean. The nozzle makes it very easy to apply directly to the roots. It’s a great weekly treatment if you want to get rid of oiliness or flakes ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would recommend *by M***E on 13 August 2026* I bought it in April and b en using it ever since. It works really well for me. My hair is fresher for longer since I’m using it. Once I did not use it, my hair went greasy after 3 days after washing. When I’m using this product, I can wash it every 5/6 days. It also last ages when used once or twice a week. I just wish it didn’t take months to get it now as the delivery date time now is a few months?!? ## Frequently Bought Together - The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Scrub, Scalp Exfoliant Helps Remove Product Build Up and Boost Healthy Hair Growth for Healthy-Looking Hair, 5.07 fl oz - Neutrogena T/Sal Therapeutic Shampoo for Scalp Build-Up Control with Salicylic Acid, Scalp Treatment for Dandruff, Scalp Psoriasis & Seborrheic Dermatitis Relief, 4.5 fl. oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/376109913-7-glycolic-acid-scalp-scrub-150ml-pre-shampoo-chemical-physical](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/376109913-7-glycolic-acid-scalp-scrub-150ml-pre-shampoo-chemical-physical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
