Reviews Summary
Customers say this scalp scrub effectively removes buildup and leaves their scalp feeling clean and refreshed. Many users report it helps with itchy scalp conditions and creates a noticeable difference after first use. The product makes hair feel softer, shinier, and more voluminous while extending time between washes. Common feedback includes appreciation for the tingling sensation and deep cleansing effect. Some users mention difficulty with the bottle packaging, noting the nozzle clogs frequently and castor beads can be hard to distribute. A few customers with sensitive skin experienced irritation, while others found the scrub beads difficult to rinse out completely.

    Good but hard to use

    Ive been using it for a couple months now. It is a decent product but once you use about half the bottle it gets nearly impossible to get anything out of it. I squeeze and squeeze with all my might but barely anything comes out. I end up needing to unscrew the nozzle try to use but makes application harder. Ya'll really need to rethink your bottle. Its the only thing that makes me want to try other products.

    Hi Mariah, thank you for sticking with the Glycolic Acid Scalp Scrub for a couple of months - we're really glad the product itself is working for you! But we're sorry the bottle is making it such hard work.
    You've hit on something we've heard before - the exfoliating beads in the formula can get caught in the nozzle, which is exactly why it gets harder to squeeze the further down the bottle you get. It's genuinely frustrating and it's not the experience we want, especially with a product you otherwise like.
    A quick tip in the meantime: running the nozzle under warm water and giving it a rinse can help clear any trapped beads and get things flowing again.
    Your feedback is being passed to the right team - and please don't let the bottle be the reason you leave us! Our Customer Experience Team (help@theinkeylist.com) would love to help. 💙

    Favourite product, worst packaging

    This is one of my holy grail products, I use it weekly it’s the only thing that keeps my scalp breakouts under control. BUT I hate the bottle cap sooooo much. Inkey List either needs to take the little scrubby bits out of the product and rename it; it’s just fine as a scalp “treatment”. Or it needs to put the product in a bottle with a bigger nozzle that won’t get clogged and blocked and need to be washed out all the time.

    Hi Katie, we absolutely love hearing that the Glycolic Acid Scalp Scrub is your holy grail and that it's keeping your scalp breakouts under control - that is exactly what we want to hear!
    We hear you completely on the bottle cap though - the nozzle clogging is not the experience we want getting in the way of a product you clearly love. Your suggestions are genuinely brilliant and we're making sure this feedback reaches the right team. You're not alone in this and it's exactly the kind of insight that helps us improve.
    Thank you for caring enough to share it so constructively - we really do appreciate it! 💙
