Great for the price! It's comparable (an affordable dupe practically) to the Nue Co. Scalp detoxifier! It smells nice and due to the packaging, it's easy to apply with the Funnel-like nozzle! It's eye catching as well. My scalp feels fresh and clean after each use and my roots are happier!
I love this product!

I love this product! I struggle with psoriasis on my scalp and I am constantly deal with dry itchy skin. This product makes my hair and scalp feel so fresh and clean! BUY THIS!!!
It works!
Seems very mild when applying… like, how is it really exfoliating my scalp?!? But somehow, it does. I used my regular shampoo & conditioner and finished with Balancing Act Serum. No itch, no flakes. Please keep restocking Balancing Act!

Definitely a new staple in my hair care routine! Recommend using on damp hair before shampooing the bottle is east to squee,e the product right into the scalp. Leaves my scalp feeling refreshed and it smells amazing. Will definitely repurchase this when it's gone as it is affordable and effective.
