How it works
The Professional Repairing Scalp Therapy Serum Shampoo is a 275ml shampoo, used in place of your usual shampoo, on hair wet all the way through. The active it is built around is Menthol, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Salicylic Acid and Biotin, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Menthol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the shampoo format rather than by the list alone. d'Alba sells this Menthol shampoo in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Menthol, the active this shampoo is built around
- Adenosine on the same list, an active
- Salicylic Acid on the same list, an exfoliant
- Biotin on the same list, a vitamin
- Lactobacillus Ferment and Tocopherol further down the same list
- Hydrolyzed Corn Protein and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein further down the same list
Key actives
Mentholactive
Menthol is the cooling compound in mint. It acts on the nerve receptor that also answers to cold, which is why skin feels cool without any change in temperature. On this shampoo's own ingredient list it is named thirteenth.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it twenty-fourth on this shampoo's list, beside Menthol.
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. It is named fifteenth on this shampoo's list, alongside Menthol.
Biotinvitamin
Biotin is vitamin B7. In skincare it is a conditioning vitamin, most often in hair and scalp formulas. It is named fifty-second on this shampoo's list, alongside Menthol.
Rice Ferment Filtrateferment
Rice Ferment Filtrate is the clear liquid from fermented rice, the same process that makes sake. It carries amino acids, sugars and organic acids and is used as a conditioning ferment. It is named sixty-fourth on this shampoo's list, alongside Menthol.
Where does this shampoo go in my routine?
In place of your usual shampoo, on hair wet all the way through. Anything thinner than a shampoo goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Menthol and not three changes at once.
Does this shampoo contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citronellol, Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal and Limonene. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this shampoo is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Menthol?
Adenosine, Salicylic Acid and Biotin. The order they are printed in on this shampoo's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Menthol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Rice Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus Ferment and Tocopherol.

How to use
- On wet hair, work a small amount of Professional Repairing Scalp Therapy Serum Shampoo 275ml into a lather, focusing on the scalp.
- Massage the scalp for a minute, then work any remaining lather down the length of the hair.
- Rinse thoroughly and follow with conditioner if you use one.
- Give Professional Repairing Scalp Therapy Serum Shampoo 275ml a moment to settle rather than layering the next product straight on top while it is still wet.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this shampoo on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Menthol on the list.
- This list names Citronellol, Fragrance and Hexyl Cinnamal, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Citric Acid and Salicylic Acid on this list makes this shampoo an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

BHAs like salicylic acid get really deep into the pores, whereas the water-soluble ones don't go as deep.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic We find biotin to be very helpful for hair disorders. It also makes nails thicker, and oral biotin is exceedingly safe.
