Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this shampoo's own ingredient list it is named twentieth.
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. It is named sixteenth on this shampoo's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Biotinvitamin
Biotin is vitamin B7. In skincare it is a conditioning vitamin, most often in hair and scalp formulas. The panel names it fiftieth on this shampoo's list, beside Niacinamide.
Bifida Ferment Lysateferment
Bifida Ferment Lysate is a bifidobacteria ferment with the cells broken open. It is the ingredient behind the first-essence category and is used for the look of tired, reactive skin. The panel names it twenty-fourth on this shampoo's list, beside Niacinamide.
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrateferment
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate is a brewers yeast ferment filtered clear. It supplies amino acids, B vitamins and sugars, and it is one of the ferments the Korean essence category was built on. The panel names it thirty-first on this shampoo's list, beside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Work into wet hair and scalp, lather, and rinse thoroughly. Use as the first step of a normal hair-washing routine, followed by conditioner if using one.
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 Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
Does this shampoo contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citronellol, Fragrance, Geraniol and Linalool. 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 Niacinamide?
Salicylic Acid, Biotin and Bifida Ferment Lysate. The order they are printed in on this shampoo's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Rice Ferment Filtrate and Ceramide NP.

How it works
The Damage Therapy Shampoo is a 500ml shampoo, used in place of your usual shampoo, on hair wet all the way through. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named twentieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Salicylic Acid, Biotin and Bifida Ferment Lysate, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the shampoo format rather than by the list alone. Growus sells this Niacinamide shampoo in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this shampoo on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- This list names Citronellol, Fragrance and Geraniol, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this shampoo an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
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.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
