Our take
A cooling, leave-on scalp tonic for shedding and tired scalps. It pairs the anti-hairloss functional actives salicylic acid, L-menthol and pro-vitamin B5 (dexpanthenol) with copper peptides and more than twenty botanical extracts, absorbing quickly without leaving hair greasy. Best sprayed onto the scalp and massaged in after washing or any time your scalp feels hot or tired; it is a #1-ranked hair mist and award winner. Note it can run if over-applied (pat it in fast), and it is alcohol-and-menthol based, so patch test if your scalp is sensitive. This is a cosmetic functional tonic, not a medical treatment.
Worth knowing
- Can run down the scalpThe most common complaint is the liquid dripping, spray one area at a time and pat it in immediately before tilting your head.
- Alcohol and mentholIt is alcohol-based with menthol and salicylic acid, so a few report stinging or a scent they find artificial, patch test if your scalp is sensitive.
