Scalp Detox Tonic – Scalp Exfoliator with Glycolic & Salicylic Acid for Clarifying Build Up & Purifying – Infused with Rosemary to Support an Itchy, Dry Head – Vegan & Cruelty-Free – 5 oz

I have been dealing with build-up that has become constant and more like seborrheic dermatitis that will turn into sores if I try to exfoliate it off my scalp. I had tried "calm scalp" and it helped, but it was more treatment than preventative and had a strong vinegar scent that took a bit to dissipate. In addition to that, it was feeling impossible to condition my hair in a way if felt smooth and didn't tangle when I moved. I have straight, THICK, hair down past my waist (top of butt crack really) and I was afraid something was changing that was gonna lead to having to cut my hair or even hair loss (family history of alopecia). Doctor said allergies, changed my shampoo and conditioners to their recommended and no changes. Spent a lot of time exfoliating my scalp, carefully washing and drying my hair, not using anything that potentially added to my scalp. But a day or two and my scalp was a wreck again. We have HARD water. Everything in our shower is coated in white from the lime. We haven't been able to add a filter due to the type of plumbing currently installed and it wasn't my first thought about my scalp and hair until my aunt pointed out the difference in her hair/skin when she washed it in hard VS soft water. ONE USE AND IT WAS MAGICAL. My scalp was so clear. No build up, no crumblies, no flakes, no sores, no itching. And it smelt wonderful. The rosemary and mint were refreshing, small vinegar hint but does not bother me at all. AND MY HAIR WAS REVIVED! Smooth, shiny, tame, no rough patches, and I didn't use any other shampoo or conditioner in that wash. I managed to get about two and a half rinses from the bottle and I may have used more than needed in the first one. I am subscribing to this and only this because of the magic it provided me and saved my scalp and hair.

I recently started developing build up on my scalp especially around my hair line. I really love my shampoo so didn't want to change that, so I decided to try this, I already know I love this brand so it was an easy choice. It worked SO well!!!! My hair and scalp has never felt more clean!!

This review is for the scalp detox. I have been suffering from itchy scalp, falling hair, and kinda like a wet dog smell even right after shampooing. I get flakes and oily hair after just a couple days after washing my hair. I tied this for the first time tonight. I was kinda skeptical at first because it didn’t come with a seal. It was just open. I did a spot test just to make sure that it is not fake or tempered with. Went ahead and applied a generous amount on my scalp and massaged it a little bit, more like pressing it on my scalp and waited 5 minutes. The liquid has a mild sweet scent and is colored greenish. I felt it tingle a tiny bit on the 3 minute mark. Hopped in the shower after my 5 mins is up. Rinsed it thoroughly and used my normal shampoo and conditioner. I can feel my hair is smoother like it’s cleaner but not squeaky. More moisturized. Probably from the apple cider vinegar. I have done the rinse before and noticed my hair felt the same when I did it. Fast forward 3 hours now and I don’t smell the wet dog scent. I don’t feel my scalp itch but I do see some flakes around my temple. I still have e to figure out how many times a week I need to use this to be effective but I can’t wait to use it again on my next shampoo day (I wash my hair 3x a week). Docking 1 star because it didn’t come with a temper seal.

I have always had oily hair, this helps balance the oil a lot when there is build up! My hair always feels clean and soft after using. I will continue to use and reorder when needed!

I absolutely love how this scalp tonic makes my scalp feel—it's incredibly refreshing and soothing. The combination of rosemary and apple cider vinegar creates a clean, invigorating scent that I find delightful. After using it, my scalp feels revitalized, and any itchiness or buildup is noticeably reduced. The application is straightforward: I apply it directly to my scalp, let it sit for a few minutes, and then proceed with my regular shampoo routine. It's a simple addition that has made a significant difference in my scalp health. I appreciate that it's vegan and cruelty-free, aligning with my values. If you're looking for a product to help maintain a healthy scalp and enjoy a pleasant, clean scent, I highly recommend giving this tonic a try.

I have struggled with seborrheic dermatitis (malassezia) off and on my whole life. For several years in my 20s, I went the "no poo" route and made my own mixture of apple cider vinegar and essential oils and it completely stopped the problem for years. I also credit therapy/recovery (healing my mind), and a plant-based diet (healing my body) with helping to clear things up -- everything is connected! In the pandemic, I got extremely stressed and depressed and went through a couple years of intense grief. My dermatitis came back with a vengeance, this time mainly around the back of my head/neck and also spreading down my neck and even into my ears! I tried everything, then found this company DERMAZEN which was a game changer for me. I have all of their products and it really helps a lot. I also discovered that using Aveeno lotion on the affected areas of my scalp after washing my hair does wonders to stop the flakes! But I was still dealing with some build-up and decided to look around for some ACV based treatments to add to my routine, knowing how well that worked in the past (but not wanting to make it myself and possibly throw off the delicate balance of my scalp). I found the Scalp Detox + Tonic and I'm not even done with my first bottle and wowwowow it is totally clearing up my scalp in a way that my product routine up until now has not done. I still use the Dermazen Calming Seborrheic Serum, which is also a game changer, and the Dermazen conditioner which is safe for dermatitis and makes my hair super soft, but I stopped using their shampoo and now I just put this Pacifica tonic on my head in the morning, rub it in, rinse it off and go. I do this almost every day and it's unbelievable how big a difference it has made in combination with my other go-tos (Aveeno lotion, Demazen Serum). I'm even able to wear my hair up with confidence, instead of trying to hide the part of my scalp that would build up with scales and flakes throughout the day! With aging, hormone changes, environmental factors, etc., I know I'll be managing my malassezia for the rest of my life -- so my dream goal is to have an easy haircare routine, and feel confident throughout the day.

Made my scalp red, and skin around hair line red as well. I am not allergic to anything in it and have used other scalp treatments with similar ingredients and haven’t had this reaction. Not sure what it is from.

I no longer have dandruff or a flaky scalp. I use this twice a week in the shower. I leave it on for about 10-15 minutes after shampooing then rinse it off. It doesn't tingle and it leaves my scalp feeling extra clean and fresh.
