What the gurus are saying

Salicylic acid in a shampoo format stands out to the experts who've tried this, with one dermatologist calling it better than other clarifying shampoos on the market and another recommending it specifically for those with thinning hair or scalp struggles. The main thing to keep in mind is that one reviewer has noticed it can leave a bit of buildup lately, though they note this may depend on water quality rather than the formula itself.

"I may replace that with like a shampoo that supports scalp health like Nioxin for like those who struggle with hair grain or you know, hair thinning."

"I find it better than any clarifying shampoo that's available on the market by far. I think people underappreciate salicylic acid in hair care and scalp care. For me, the shampoo I run out of most, and I actually do rotate shampoos very frequently, it's probably the Nioxin shampoo. I've been using that this year. It's the shampoo I repurchase most frequently. It's been leaving me a little bit more residue lately, but it could just be a water quality issue."
