  • Life-saver for scalp psoriasis, not a cure, but instant relief!
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought several scalp reliefs to soothe my scalp psoriasis itchiness and dryness, so far this spray works the best, as its print says: “instant soothe”, and the effect does last for quite a while. Not greasy, has a refreshing, cool minty feel. I tried it right after washing my hair, right after drying my hair, and anytime my scalp gets nuts. So far I would say, using it after drying my hair would last the effect longer. I would spray more later when my scalp gets crazy again. Since it's a no-greasy spray, it doesn't provide 24-hour relief for me. The real psoriasis ointment is truly greasy, so it's a trade-off. This spray is better for going out, travel, and when I'm tired of greasy psoriasis ointment. This spray is not a real treatment, but a good friend who bought you some lightness from itchy scalp hell. The nozzle is easy to press, making it simple to target itchy spots, which is a major plus. ... show more

  • Improved my scalp health
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I usually don’t leave reviews, but this spray works exceptionally well. I’ve been dealing with itchy scalp for years. Thought it was the water so I got a filter for the shower head, tried dandruff shampoo, tried psoriasis shampoo, none worked and my scalp would get itchy after a couple hours of washing it. The only thing that kind of worked was to ignore the itch and not touch my scalp so that it wouldn’t get red and scaly. Tried this spray and had immediate relief to the itch. I used it once in the morning and once before bed and after about a month I had dropped down to using it every other day because I stopped noticing the itch. Now it’s four months later and I only use it when needed, which is when traveling and using hotel shampoo or about every other week. My scalp is healthy now and smells clean. I thought my hair was thinning but I think it was just damage from always itching my scalp because now my hair appears thicker. Thank you guys for this product. They say there is no money in a cure, so it is better to invent treatments to have return customers. I wouldn’t say this cured my problem but helped significantly and now I buy the product not because I’ve run out, but because I’d like to support a business that has helped me. Please never change the formula, it works. ... show more

  • Works just as advertised
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have a very tight, dry, and itchy scalp. I have tried a couple of products to relieve the itching. This product definitely works as advertised. It is not a fix per se, or at least I haven’t gotten to that point, but it most definitely is a relief. I put it on anytime the itching is too intense and it cools down the area almost immediately. ... show more

  • LOVE THIS PRODUCT FOR MY QUEENS! This one is for us!
Scent: Cream Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Yes QUEEN! This is for us! You hear me? I have 26 inch locs (I’m forreal friend lol they long) .. and I use this daily. You can FEEL the moisture and it lasts. My scalp gets dry, cause my hair is so long. Takes a lot of moisture. I started using this a month ago. Noticed that the dryness is gone (not completely yet, but noticeably). Now .. I use this with the spray and I recently started with the shampoo and conditioner. Smells AMAZING! Light. No residue. Spreads easily.. not thick, but not super loose and thin. Feel like conditioner (thickness wise).. or a little looser. A little goes a long way. The bottle is somewhat small and the price made me side eye the screen.. but I tried it anyway (my dermatologist recommended it).. and I guess dude knows what he’s talking about lol ... show more

  • Provides immediate relief of dry scalp !
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Immediate relief ! I had a sunburnt scalp that was VERY ITCHY for a few days and purchased this product because of the reviews . I sprayed on my scalp with my hair sectioned . It tingled at first from the menthol, but after about 5 minutes I felt immediate relief and a smoothing scalp feel. It is greasy, so definetely put on before bed or if around the house so it can marinate into scalp. 10/10 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

  • Great for lupus scalp pain flairups
Scent: Peppermint Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I actually didn’t read the label correctly before purchasing this, it says for curly hair. That doesn’t matter at all. My hair is fine and stick straight. The only thing is that the product can make my hair slightly greasy at the roots if I use too much, probably because of my hair texture. But I’m here to say I don’t care about that, because its benefits outweigh that one negative. And to off set that, I just put this on before bed so if my roots get a bit greasy, it’s while I sleep, but can be on my scalp 8 hours before I shower. I have Lupus which causes a very painful scalp. Kind of like if you have a tight ponytail all day and take it out and feel like you need to massage your scalp? That kind of pain. This is the only thing I’ve tried that lessens that. The cold tingle is wonderful, and now I wake up to a scalp that doesn’t hurt! It doesn’t prevent it from happening, so it’s more a band aid than a cure. But it’s nice for when I have flairups. Definitely recommend ... show more

  • 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 last thing 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
