Philip Kingsley Overnight Scalp Barrier Serum
Aloe first on the list, then lactic acid and witch hazel, then the piroctone olamine pharmacies use for flakes, in a serum you drop onto the scalp the night before you wash. The trichology house wrote it for the scalp barrier; it is the only product on this page built for the scalp rather than the strand.
