## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for Psoriasis
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 November 2022*

Unfortunately my psoriasis gets extremely bad, covering half my head. A small movement from my head and I’ve flakes falling as though it’s a snowy day.Prescription medication is generally steroid based and it has a negative effect if used regularly. I try to use it only once a week, but in the meantime I needed something to effectively remove the flaky loose skin; it is an embarrassing condition as well as horrendously itchy and often painful. It’s extremely difficult to not scratch.I tried a different product from Amazon with a hefty price tag which was brand for psoriasis. Omg, once applied the stinging was unbearable, which I may have put up with if it helped. I used the whole container as directed and the results were poor.In fact, I’ve used too many different products to count.I was wary of purchasing yet another product, but my son wanted some to lift minor flaky scalp, probably a build up of product on his scalp. I felt even if it didn’t help me, it would hopefully assist him.Im aware of this brand for offering premium products at a low price, which are highly sought after.I used it the day it arrived, although cautiously and awaiting the stinging…but I felt zero irritation, nothing except the cold liquid running through my scalp. It’s a water like substance, therefore take it steady when squeezing the container and use it somewhere appropriately, incase of spillage.I probably left it on double the time by accident as I dozed off. Thankfully no adverse effects.I showered and washed and conditioned my hair as normal and proceeded to blow dry my hair.I was extremely surprised to find my scalp to what I could feel as 100% flake free and my scalp felt clean and smooth. I will add I’d previously applied my psoriasis treatment a few days previously and my scalp was only inflamed and flaky slightly.My hair was also very clean and I had lots of baby hairs sticking out, I’d say this is from dehydration from this product. A major amount of my hair was too dry as I used a lot of this product. In future, I will use a hair mask afterwards.It didn’t ‘treat’ my psoriasis and approximately 3 days later my flakiness and itching started to return. However, I’m extremely happy with the product, it certainly worked as advertised and I will continue to use it as an in between treatment to keep my flakes under control.Fantastic product, very easy to use, excellent results and fantastic value. I will definitely re purchase when needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow!! This stuffs amazing really works
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 7 July 2026*

This INKEY lotion is amazing i can't recommend it enough, after years suffering a scalp yeast infection for ever scratching my head it was so irritating and sore, it also continually caused other scalp problems because of blocked pores. Nothing Dr's prescribed did anything to help it or anything else I brought, after reading reviews on this one I thought I'll give a go not really expecting much thinking probably just another snake oil claim, well I was wrong,THIS STUFF WORKS FOR ME, no more scalp problems after the third time of using it, this how I use it after every 2 days I use it as prescribed, then I wash it off with just water in the shower I leave it wet for another 10mins or longer to really soak the scalp while I'm showering, then I use a rubber exfoliating brush with soft rubber spikes on it to exfoliate my scalp, you can buy one on amazon, i kid you not on the first time of doing this sheets of dead skin cells came away from my scalp, i tell you never before using medicated shampoo, creams or anything else removed this off my scalp, i then wash it off with anti dandruff shampoo my hair and scalp feels fresh and so clean now what a relief but after 2-3 days I can feel it coming back again so not a cure but if I keep it under regular control with the same treatment procedure its no longer a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good as a pre shampoo exfoliation
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 May 2026*

Thin and runny texture makes it spread easily. Didn't cause any irritation on sensitive scalps.
