  • Mild cooling, lasts a few hours, gives 1-2 months of everyday treatment
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My main reason for trying this elixir was to find an immediate, leave-in solution to manage scalp itchiness throughout the day. My baseline for dealing with this issue usually involved waiting until my next shower or awkwardly scratching, which becomes a major distraction, especially during stressful social gatherings. The lasting I want is dandruff, itchy scalp, and a smelly head. The benchmark for this product was to stop the itch effectively without leaving my hair looking greasy or smelling medicinal. Upon the first few applications, I addressed the "cooling" claims on the bottle. While it advertises a cooling menthol sensation, I found the actual effect to be quite mild rather than an intense freeze. It isn't overwhelming, but it provides just enough sensory feedback to let you know it's working. In terms of relief, the performance is excellent. It stops the itching sensation for a few hours at a time, which is exactly what I needed to break the cycle of habitual scratching. This has been a huge help whether in social situations or meeting a deadline where I used to get stressed and scratch my head; now I can just focus on the moment. The scent is also very pleasant, smelling fresh rather than like a chemical treatment. One of the most surprising aspects is the product's longevity. Looking at the small 4.2 fl oz bottle, I expected it to run out quickly. However, after using it multiple times a day for a month, the bottle is still slightly under half full. The spray nozzle is designed very well, dispensing just the right amount of product directly to the scalp without waste, and the cap stays on securely. Overall, this Royal Oils Elixir is a fantastic tool for managing scalp comfort. While the cooling effect is subtler than advertised, the itch relief is genuine and long-lasting enough to get you through the day. It’s efficient, smells great, and lasts much longer than it looks. For anyone who struggles with distracting scalp itch, this is a highly recommended spot treatment. ... show more

  • FINALLY! Something that worked!
Scent: Cream Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been dealing with dry scalp flakes for over 30 years. Tried everything from mayo, to stinky and non stinky dry scalp shampoos, to coconut oil, to not washing, to using a comb to loosen the flakes and washing like 4 times. THIS really works! Even after using one time, a small thin line on the part and I put about 7 other lines thru my hair at the scalp just cause and rub it in---NO MORE FLAKES! I only use it occasionally now. Never see flakes. Does not leave my hair oily. No one will notice it. AND it smells WONDERFUL! Highly Highly Highly recommend this. ... show more

  • Moisturizing Relief for Dry, Flaky Scalp
Scent: Cream Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this Head & Shoulders Royal Oils Daily Moisture Scalp Cream for a few weeks, and it’s definitely helped calm down dryness and itchiness. The formula goes on smoothly and feels light—not greasy or heavy—which makes it easy to apply directly to the scalp. I especially like the pointed tip applicator, which lets me get it right to the roots without messing up my hair. The coconut oil in it adds a nice bit of hydration and leaves a faint, pleasant scent, though it’s not overpowering. I’ve noticed my scalp feels more comfortable by the end of the day, and there’s less visible flaking. The cream absorbs quickly, so it doesn’t leave any residue behind. That said, it’s not an instant cure—this works more as part of a daily routine. If your scalp issues are severe, you may still need to pair this with a medicated shampoo. Also, because the tube is only 5 ounces, if you use it daily on a full head of hair, you’ll go through it fairly quickly. Bottom line: A gentle, moisturizing scalp treatment that soothes dryness and itch when used consistently. It won’t replace a medicated dandruff wash for tough cases, but it’s a good daily care option that keeps the scalp more balanced and comfortable. ... show more

  • Absolutely love this scalp treatment
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The instant cooling and soothing effect is pristine, offering a superior and immediate relief for a dry and irritated scalp. The blend of Peppermint Oil and Menthol is intuitive and easy to use, providing a refreshing burst of hydration without leaving any greasy residue. Best of all, the powerful anti-dandruff relief provides real peace of mind, tackling flakes while leaving my hair smelling fresh and feeling light. It's a comfortable, non-messy treatment that delivers clear results for scalp health. ... show more

  • Scalp Magic in a bottle!
Scent: Cream Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
MAGIC IN A BOTTLE! I get my hair done (color) every 4-6 weeks and in the last year I’ve noticed that my scalp has been reacting by getting itchy after my appointment. I’ve just been “dealing” with it but recently I’ve been feeling like I want to rip my scalp off! I finally decided I needed to research to see if there was anything that would help. I did not have any visible flakes, just itchy. I ordered this and when it came, I immediately tried it. What happened next surprised me and I definitely thought it would be temporary but nope—it’s been consistently magical! No more itching. I love the way it smells and feels. I use it each time I wash my hair and let it do its magic. I have no idea how this stuff is working on my scalp to subdue the itching without any greasy side effects but it works wonders. It’s well worth its price and then some! I’m only half way through the bottle but will order another out of fear of running out. If you have any itching, I HIGHLY recommend! ... show more

  • Product is Good But......
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a very good product. It soothes the scalp and the fragrance is really nice. So for a long time it was packaged in a 5oz bottle container. It now comes in the measurement of 4.2oz. I can't quote the exact price right now, if it is the same or not and i will continue to buy this product in the future. However..... the change from the pointed nozzle to apply to the pump cap should not continue. It just does not work well. Too much to figure out to open, not a comfortable way to hold the bottle to apply the product. I am glad I saved one of my original bottles so I can pout the product into it and get it on my scalp. Thank you for the moisture cream. Please keep it as is. No thank you for the new cap. ... show more
