Active Ingredients
- Salicylic Acid: This is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA). It’s a key ingredient for treating acne because it’s oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deep into pores to dissolve the clogs of dead skin cells and excess oil that cause blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. It’s a proven exfoliant and is a common active ingredient in products for acne-prone skin.
- Piroctone Olamine: This ingredient is an antifungal and antimicrobial agent. It is particularly effective at controlling the growth of a specific yeast (Malassezia) that can contribute to certain types of acne, sometimes referred to as “fungal acne.”
- Zinc PCA: This is a combination of zinc and L-PCA (L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid). Zinc is known to help regulate sebum (oil) production and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which are beneficial for controlling acne and shine.
- Shikimic Acid: This is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). While AHAs are typically known for exfoliating the surface of the skin, shikimic acid is also noted for its antimicrobial properties, which further supports the product’s ability to combat acne-causing bacteria.
- Witch Hazel Distillate: This is a natural astringent, meaning it can help to tighten and tone the skin. It’s used to reduce the appearance of pores and control oiliness, which makes it a common ingredient in toners for oily and acne-prone skin
- Allantoin: A soothing and moisturizing ingredient that helps calm the skin and promote healing, counteracting the potential irritation from the acids.
How to use
Keep your scalp fresh and flake-free with this simple, no-rinse application guide. Perfect for use on natural hair or while wearing extensions.
Step 1: Direct Application
Using the precision dropper, apply the serum directly onto the scalp. Focus on “problem areas” where you experience the most dryness, itching, or product buildup.
Step 2: Massage for Distribution
Using your fingertips, gently massage the serum into the scalp in circular motions. This ensures the Salicylic Acid and Zinc PCA are evenly distributed and can penetrate deep into the follicles.
Step 3: Leave-In & Style
Do not rinse. This is a leave-in treatment designed to work throughout the day. The non-greasy formula will absorb quickly, allowing you to go about your day or continue styling as usual.
