About this product
A salicylic acid scalp treatment that works before shampoo: this pre-wash exfoliating liquid from The INKEY List is designed to help remove product buildup and reduce the look of visible flakes. Fragrance-free and cruelty-free, it arrives in a 5 fl oz bottle and is formulated to suit all hair types, including coloured hair.
How to slot a pre-wash scalp step into your routine
Shampoo alone doesn't always take care of the layer that builds up at the scalp surface between washes — styling leftovers, oil, and dead skin cells. A dedicated pre-wash step gives that layer its own moment. Shake the bottle, work the liquid into the scalp with your fingertips, leave it for 10 minutes, then rinse it out during your usual wash. At 1-2 uses a week it becomes a regular habit rather than an occasional add-on. Because the formulae is fragrance-free, it won't compete with the scent of your shampoo or leave a lingering perfume in your hair, and the liquid texture spreads easily through the hair to reach the scalp.
Where it sits next to your shampoo and conditioner
Think of this as the step before shampoo, not a substitute for it. Shake well, massage the treatment into the scalp with your fingertips, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wash your hair as you normally would and condition afterwards. Because the formulae is designed to be rinsed out, your shampoo still does the cleansing while this treatment handles the surface exfoliation beforehand. If you already keep a scalp scrub in the shower, this liquid format is a different option: it goes on with fingertips instead of being rubbed in as a granular paste, which some people find easier to work through thicker hair.
How much to use and how often
The pack directions call for enough product to cover the entire scalp, used 1-2 times a week. Shake the bottle well, pour some into your palm, rub your hands together, then massage in with your fingertips until the whole scalp is covered. Leave it for 10 minutes and wash your hair as normal. The product data doesn't give a measured amount beyond full scalp coverage, so go by coverage rather than counting drops.
Getting the liquid to the scalp
Part your hair in sections so the scalp is visible, then trace the liquid along each parting with your fingertips. Massaging as you go helps spread it evenly over the scalp surface. Once the whole scalp is covered, leave it for the recommended 10 minutes before shampooing. A thorough rinse afterwards keeps the routine straightforward.

It's formulated for all hair types, including coloured hair, and is designed as a pre-wash exfoliating step for the scalp surface. If your scalp looks flaky or feels like it's carrying buildup, that's the kind of concern this treatment is made for. The product data doesn't list separate scalp-type categories, so if you have a diagnosed scalp condition, speak with a professional before adding a new exfoliating step.
Do I rinse this scalp treatment out or leave it in?
Rinse it out. Apply to the scalp, leave for 10 minutes, then wash your hair as normal.
Is there any fragrance in the formulae?
No — the formulae is described as fragrance-free.
Will it work on coloured hair?
Yes. It's formulated to suit all hair types, including coloured hair.
If your wash day already has a pre-shampoo step, this treatment can go straight there, once or twice a week before your usual shampoo.
