Is glycolic acid good for dandruff?

I love trying new beauty trends! I used glycolic acid on my scalp and it did clear up the flakes, but honestly, it stings a bit if you have any scratches. Make sure you don't keep it on for too long.

I barely have the energy to wash my hair, let alone do a multi-step chemical exfoliation for my scalp. A basic anti-dandruff shampoo in the shower is all I can manage, and it works fine.

I tried using my sister's glycolic acid toner on my scalp for dandruff last winter. It cleared the dry flakes in two uses, but it can dry out your hair if you don't wash it out properly.

I know how embarrassing it feels when dandruff flakes fall on your dark clothes. Glycolic acid can help gently remove that buildup and make you feel much more confident, just use it carefully.

I completely understand the anxiety of trying new chemicals on your scalp when it is already irritated. To feel safe, do a small patch test behind your ear first before applying it all over.
