  Pros

  It seems that this treatment is the one that actually provides effective care for sensitive or problematic scalp conditions, when used together with shampoo. About 2 years ago, I started experiencing unpleasant odor from my scalp, along with inflammation and itchiness. I tried using popular high-end products recommended by the hair salon, but there was no improvement. Even visiting a dermatologist didn't yield much effect. However, after using this product for about 3 days, I experienced a strong burning and stinging sensation (almost like applying disinfectant). But from the 4th day, the odor disappeared, the itchiness went away, and the size of the inflammation I had been feeling daily also decreased. And my hair also has more shine and luster now. Although I was a bit disappointed with the shampoo since my scalp is oily, I really wanted to continue using this treatment.

  Cons

  When applying this product, there is a slight warming sensation, almost like a heating massage, which I'm not sure is good for my oily, thinning scalp. The product is meant to be applied to the scalp as well, not just the hair, so that's a bit concerning to me. Also, the dosage is not easy to control, so I worry it might get used up faster than the shampoo.

  Tip

  I don't have any special tips, but for those with problematic scalps, I'd recommend persisting with it for a week even if you experience a burning or stinging sensation at first, like I did. It completely resolved the issues I had been struggling with for years, and I'm extremely satisfied with that. For those with oily scalps, it seems to work well when used together with your regular oily scalp shampoo. + For those with oily scalps, don't use it daily, but 2-3 times a week. I used it daily for about 2.5 weeks along with the oily shampoo, but my scalp started getting increasingly oily, becoming greasy again within 12 hours of shampooing. So for oily scalps, it seems to work better as an occasional treatment. This is why I'm deducting one star.
