  • Sharing with you my thoughts on the new TikTok glycolic acid hack which involves using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution on scalp.. Does it work?
    Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where in todays video I want to share with you my thoughts on the latests TikTok glycolic acid hack which involves applying it to the scalp multiple times per week to minimise dandruff, flaky scalp and greasy hair- does it really work and is it safe to use, lets find out.
    Glycolic Acid is one of the most powerful exfoliating acids in skincare which will leave the skin feeling smoother and is also proven to boost the levels of collagen in the skin. However it can also be quite irritating and should not be used on sensitive skin.
    One of the latest trends is people moving away from glycolic acid for their skincare routine and instead switching to using it on other areas of the body. First it was under the arms as a deodorant and now its on the scalp in order to remove dandruff and oil build up.
    This new hack for using glycolic acid on the scalp has taken TikTok by storm and most content creators are using the bestselling The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, saying it reduces the amount of flakes on the scalp and minimises dandruff.
    I used glycolic acid on the scalp for 3 weeks to test it out and these are the results.

    I just recently bought TO glycolic to use in a spray bottle for body care. To exfoliate skin on the body, use on armpits and bikini area which helps with odour, skin discolouration of these areas and reduce ingrowing hairs. I've been repurposing other AHA exfoliating toners for this for over a year now and it's been so effective. I only do it after showering once a week. And the results have been amazing.

      With a strength solution of 7% like the one mentioned, I use it daily uneventfully. (After showering, sometimes as a pre-shower if I’m on the go.) I’ve never tried it on my scalp, as I have my own solution for that. But if I can do body, face and scalp with the same product I’m all in 🥰

    I suffer with terrible folliculitis on my scalp. Has been chronic for years and no antibiotic, cream, lotion, scalp wash, shampoo has ever helped. I have been doing this for several years once a week and it has sooo helped reduced the painful pustules that form on my scalp. Didn't know it-but I'm a trend setter.?? The Ordinary is great to do it as well-the bottle is perfect to get through my thick hair and squirt in the areas it's needed.

    I’ve been using salicylic acid, which I think can be more beneficial as it is oil-soluble, when I remember so not as often as once a week! I just leave it on for a couple of minutes before showering. The ordinary glycolic acid nozzle fits onto the Superdrug BHA toner which is very cheap, so I’ve been applying it that way :)

    I've been using mandelic acid (10%) on my scalp occasionally & it works really well for me. Wouldn't use it more than twice a week though. In my theory, mandelic acid should be more gentle & it might even work better with an oily/sensitive scalp.

    Read about this 2 years ago and tried it out 1 year ago for my scalp folliculitis and acne. It didnt help at all sadly, soI still prefer my flaxseed gel hairmask to sooth my scalp, however my sister now uses it religiously for her itchy scalp. It also helps get rid of some build up on the hair from CG friendly products for me so I do use it now and then :)

    Glycolic acid is wonderful for daily use in the correct solution strength. As long as you’re promoting and maintaining fungal and bacteria free skin, this should work perfectly to maintain cleanliness. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be used for the dead keratin (your hair) since its job is to turn over dead skin.

    Another thing that can help with greasy hair is brushing it then combing it through root to end with a fine-tooth comb twice a day. Apparently, I am not an expert, this is one way women kept their hair clean before shampoo as we know it was invented.
    I've experimented with using this method, only washing my hair once a month but rinsing it whenever I shower, and my scalp has been pretty darn clean! But, after a few weeks the rest of my hair can get pretty greasy, so I'm going back to washing my more frequently and sill combing twice a day.

    oh my, people are not the smartest species from time to time. To start with, daily use of shampoo is the biggest no-no and the main reason for troubles. Once a week shampooing is already pretty harsh. Conditioner (good quality, lacking all the weird surfactants and stripping ingredients) should suffice. Now there’s the easy way out. Mixing some glycolic acid with conditioner (that also brings down the harsh aggressive % of the glycolic acid solution). This way you prevent the liquidy toning solution from running down the face and risking it to get into the eyes. Also it is a very good vehicle to rinse out in time. Conditioners are in general products to leave in for 3-5 minutes before rinsing out. And whilst in the shower already there is plenty of water to wash out in case of stinging or other side effects.
