What we like

  • Salicylic acid clears product and sebum buildup
  • Excellent for oily scalps and hard-water residue
  • Refreshing, lightweight finish

What to watch

  • Contains a mild sulfate (SLES) — too strong for daily use
  • Pricey for the bottle size

Key ingredients

A targeted clarifying treatment rather than an everyday shampoo. Used once a week it dissolves buildup that gentler cleansers leave behind, restoring volume and bounce. The SLES surfactant is effective but drying with frequent use.
