The Best Scalp Serums for Your Specific Skin Concerns

“This serum has been a life-changing experience,” our tester said. “[I’m] realizing there is something to help [my scalp and hair].” They added that, thanks to the large dropper, application was as easy as can be.

Best Budget Pick: Renpure Tea Tree & Rosemary Scalp Serum

Pros

• Under $10
• Smells great
• Rich, nourishing consistency

Cons

• Tea tree oil can be irritating for some

Renpure’s Tea Tree & Rosemary Scalp Serum took home a Healthy Beauty Award back in 2019 for its invigorating, moisturizing formula. Judging by its 1,400-and-counting five-star ratings on Amazon, it’s stood the test of time, thanks to its key ingredients: While tea tree oil and peppermint oil soothe inflammation, glycerin restores moisture to the scalp.

“As someone who has never considered scalp care before, I have realized the error of my ways,” our tester said. “Massaging it in was so pleasant—my scalp feels squeaky clean and healthy.” They added that the serum’s refreshing scent and luxe “pudding-like” texture heightened the experience (clearly, you don’t need to spend big bucks for a little hair care upgrade).

Best for Itchy Scalps: Act+Acre Microbiome Cooling Scalp Serum

Pros

• Immediate cooling sensation
• Great smell
• Dries quickly

Cons

Act+Acre’s ultra-soothing, peppermint-infused Microbiome Cooling Scalp Serum is perfect for angry, inflamed scalps (specifically mine, which is prone to irritation, dandruff, and lots of between-washes prickliness). I tested it for last year’s Healthy Beauty Awards and couldn’t believe the instant effect it had on my skin.

“This serum is such a treat,” I wrote in my review. “I have a very dry, very itchy scalp and have spent years looking for products that can appease it. Since using this, I don’t deal with creeping itchiness between hair washes. It’s quick-absorbing, not at all greasy, and wonderfully cooling. Oh, and it smells lovely.”

Best for Oily Scalps: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

Pros

• Gently exfoliating
• Under $15
• Versatile—you can also use it to treat facial acne

Cons

• May feel drying for some

When excess oil, dead skin cells, and product buildup clog the hair follicles on your scalp, you can wind up with scalp acne. Luckily, you can tackle current breakouts, prevent new ones, and generally deal with less greasy strands with a gentle exfoliating serum like The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid toner.

As SELF has previously reported, the title ingredient helps slough off dead skin cells, unclogging pores and allowing new, smoother skin to emerge. Just keep in mind that chemical exfoliants, like glycolic acid, can be drying and may cause contact dermatitis (a.k.a. a red, itchy rash) if you have sensitive skin.

“I love this product,” one Sephora reviewer wrote. “I use it on my scalp every other wash day, and it makes my hair feel so clean, and it doesn’t get greasy as fast.” Another was pleased to notice that it left their scalp feeling clean—but not itchy. One thing to note: Many reviewers mentioned that they use the Glycolic Acid toner as a pre-shampoo scalp treatment, rather than a leave-in product.

Best for Dry Scalps: Kérastase Nutritive Nutri-Supplement Scalp Serum

Pros

• Boosts moisture immediately and long-term
• Dropper is designed for precise application
• Helps with flakes, per our tester

Cons

• Over $60
• Contains fragrance, which could be irritating to some
