Chemical Scalp Exfoliant - Helps Manage Dandruff & Oils
I use this product for "other than the intended purpose". Skin care is important to me, but I struggle with psoriasis/dermatitis which sometimes results in dandruff and a rough patch behind one ear. In the past I have tried glycolic acid for my face and it was terrible. More than just a purging, it...

Not a bad product, my skin just didn't care for it

I have used The Ordinary for years. Exfoliate with toner, followed by niacinamide 10% zinc, hyaluronic 2%, then moisturizer with HA. Skin is great for 67, get many compliments.
A winner
I love this product@ ut leaves youre skin so bright and fresh looking. I buy it all the time!
LOVE IT
Honestly, I was a little nervous jumping into chemical exfoliation, but after hearing all the buzz, I finally started using a 10% glycolic acid toner a month ago—and I'm officially hooked! This stuff is truly a game-changer.
Good for scalp exfoliation
I use this instead of "prewash scalp serums" and its much cheaper and does the job. I put it on a few hours before I wash to give it time to sit, then rise and wash. My scalp is clear, and not dry at all.
