Works great for irritated scalps!!

This totally cured my scalp issues and I just pray that Living Proof never stops making it and that Nordstroms never stops carrying it!! My scalp will periodically itchy in specific spots. I don't have dandruff. The itching usually goes away. With this most recent episode though, the itching got REALLY intense. Read more about review stating Works great for irritated scalps!!Like bad. It would wake me up! I first started with a different hair product from a different brand with salicylic acid as the main active ingredient. I used it for 2 weeks and felt zero relief. I decided to try Living proof's dry scalp treatment instead (with active ingredient niacinamide) and WOW! Within 2 uses, just 2 uses!!!, I felt RELIEF wash over me. My scalp completely stopped itching and I just couldn't be happier. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to use this forever or stop now that my scalp is past this current episode but I don't think I want to risk it! Other plus points are that it smells great and it DOESN'T leave my hair oily (which the other salicylic acid product did). Once this scalp treatment dries, it does make my hair feel a little crunchy but one sweep of a comb and my hair is back to it's normal texture. I've never been more in love with a hair product, haha!

Nothing Better than this product

I have flaky scalp due to eczema, this is the only product that provides me with relief from itching, redness and flaking. Do not leave any weird residue. I have super think hair, I apply if to the crown of my scalp and massage it in really good. I wait about 30 mins before blow drying. Problem 100% solved.

Best scalp serum on the market

This is better than all the other scalp serums on the market currently. It's the only one I tried that doesn't leave my low porosity hair feeling greasy or heavy. It can be used daily without washing it out each daily. The ingredients are great - they consist of star ingredients you would use for your face.

Soothing and effective

I like this scalp treatment. It feels cooling and soothing when applied, and helps reduce dryness and flakiness over time. My scalp feels healthier and more comfortable after regular use. It’s not a complete fix for very stubborn dry scalp, but it works well as part of a regular routine. Overall, a reliable product that does what it promises.

A scalp game-changer

I'd been dealing with a dry, itchy and flaky scalp for years with little trouble fixing it despite the many different products I tried, and this treatment has been the only thing to help. The size of the nozzle makes it really easy to apply, and I applied it after washing my hair when it was still wet, consistently for a month, and my itchy flaky scalp had a complete turnaround. Even after I stopped using it after that month, the issue never came back so now I only use it a few times a month to keep the itchy scalp at bay.
