It contains the same roll-call of dry scalp-corralling ingredients as the shampoo, but in a stronger concentration, and given you don’t wash the serum out, they also have longer to work their magic. In texture terms, it’s a little gloopier than a face serum, which is helpful in that it doesn’t simply drip down your neck as you apply.

I was worried I’d end up with incredibly greasy roots, but given my scalp is so dry, the formula seemed to sink in quickly, leaving little to no trace. And it would be remiss not to mention just how refreshing it was to apply during this heatwave: not only did the ginger essential oil calm my itchy scalp, but I’ve taken to popping my bottle in the fridge for an extra jolt of iciness each time I apply it. I’m calling it: it’s the new face mist!
