Dr. Groot Scalp Exfoliating Detox Water — AHA + Salicylic Acid Cooling Scalp Treatment (200ml)

This lightweight scalp treatment from Dr. Groot combines exfoliating acids, menthol, botanical oils and sebum-control technology to remove residue that can clog hair follicles. Developed in Korea and dermatologist-tested, the formula aims to refresh the scalp, reduce surface buildup quickly, and prepare hair for thicker-shampoo and conditioner steps in a complete hair wellness routine.

How quickly does this detox water remove buildup?

The formula acts fast: clinically proven to remove most surface buildup in seconds, it uses AHA and salicylic acid to loosen oil and debris while rosemary oil supports a clean-feeling scalp. You’ll notice a refreshed sensation immediately after application and a more neutral scalp environment with continued use.

• Removes up to 97% of surface buildup in 10 seconds (clinical testing).
• Salicylic acid penetrates oily residues; AHA smooths surface flakes.
• Menthol provides instant cooling and a clean sensory effect.

What ingredients power the exfoliating and cooling effect?

Dr. Groot blends salicylic acid and fruit-derived AHA to break down sebum and dead skin, while niacinamide helps balance scalp tone. Rosemary oil and menthol give antiseptic and cooling notes, and the microbiome-focused technology targets buildup without harsh surfactants.

• Salicylic acid: oil-soluble exfoliant that clears follicles.
• AHA: gentle surface exfoliation for smoother scalp texture.
• Niacinamide and rosemary oil: balancing and clarifying support.
• Menthol: immediate refreshing sensation on contact.

Is this safe for colored or sensitive hair?

The formula is free from parabens, sulfates, silicones and gluten, making it suitable for color-treated hair and a wide range of hair types. Dermatologist-tested, it’s designed to be non-stripping when used as directed, but a patch test is recommended for very sensitive scalps.

• Safe for color-treated and chemically processed hair.
• Free of harsh surfactants and common irritants.
• Dermatologist-tested and formulated for everyday scalp hygiene.

How should I use this as part of my hair routine?

Use the detox water as a pre-wash or in-shower step to remove buildup before shampooing and conditioning. Apply directly to the scalp, massage briefly to distribute, let the solution work for the recommended time, then rinse and follow with your thickening shampoo and conditioner for best results.

• Apply to wet or damp scalp for even coverage.
• Massage gently and wait a short activation time before rinsing.
• Follow with Dr. Groot thickening shampoo and conditioner for a full regimen.

It’s appropriate for men and women with oily or product-prone scalps, people using styling products regularly, and those who want a dermatologist-tested, gentle exfoliating step compatible with color-treated hair.
