Salicylic acid at a strength that genuinely exfoliates the scalp and cuts down flake formation earns strong praise from dermatologists, who recommend it especially for dandruff, psoriasis, or scalp buildup from styling products. The fragrance-free formula and absence of a common irritating preservative make it accessible to those with sensitivities. Massage it into the scalp, let it sit for a few minutes, then follow with conditioner; note that the formula can stain clothes and requires thorough rinsing, though one recent take mentions the scent is now apple cider vinegar based and refreshing rather than unpleasant.
