Q: So in the shower, do you apply this to dry hair or wet hair? And I do understand it’s a step 1 product, before shampoo, conditioner, etc. Thanks!
submitted by SnowmanLover - 10 months ago

Disappointment. No scalp relief
Very disappointed with this product. I did not get a clean feeling like I do with other similar products. I felt and seen no product buildup relief or flake relief. I have purchased other products from this brand, and they worked wonders. So my expectations for this were quite high. I will not be repurchasing or recommending.

Effective but ingredients listed incorrectly
The ingredients listed on the website here are wrong, however this has made a huge difference for my scalp issues. It's been the single most effective addition to my routine.

great stuff
I have used this product for a month now. I was diagnosed with Lupus and all kinds of things are happening. Dry scalp, itchy Psoriasis is part of it. I have been trying all kinds of stuff even RX shampoo the DR prescribed not to good on my hair not great either on my scalp and still itchy. So I seen this Soapbox stuff at Target and I bought the Tree Oil Treatment and the Coconut / Shea shampoo and Conditioner I shampoo then Condition while conditioning I put on the Tree Oil scalp treatment and just let it all sit while I do everything else. I have noticed a big difference. I'm so grateful for this product, it's made a big difference in my life. This is not a full blown cure but it's better then anything else I've tried. I'm not scratching my head like lunatic. And my hair that is down the middle of my back is shiny and healthy. thank you, thank you, thank you.

Smells nice, but that’s about it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is very watery, so the applicator is helpful if you use it to place directly on the scalp. I don’t really feel like it did anything for my hair or scalp though. The scent is nice.
1 reply from Soapbox team - 1 year ago
Thank you for your feedback, it helps us out a lot! It definitely shouldn't be watery like that! I'd love to learn more and get a replacement out to you. Please reach out to me at support@soapboxsoaps.com to chat more about that. Thank you! -Sarah

Nice To Add To Routine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been on my hair care journey and I was excited to test this. I use this once a week for a little “detox” and it’s nice but I don’t think it’s necessarily ground breaking. It’s a nice edition to my routine but I have used other products where I feel like there’s more of a difference.
1 reply from Soapbox team - 1 year ago
Thank you for your feedback, it helps us out a ton! I am really stoked to hear you are like using it for your weekly hair "detox"! I'd love to hear more about the issues you had with it in comparison to other products you have tried out. Please email me at support@soapboxsoaps.com so we can chat more. Thank you! -Sarah

Scalp rinse out
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks influenster for sending me this product to try out! I’ve been trying to use it more consistently. The product scent is pleasing, there are clear directions on the bottle with how to use. Would definitely recommend, and I plan on using this product in the future, once I finish using this bottle.

Not worth the time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product was just ok for me. It didn't come put of the bottle easily onto the scalp, and I felt like I had to use a lot of the product. I was hoping for more of a tingle on the scalp like other tea tree products but was disappointed.. As far as packaging the bottle was ok, pretty generic and not something that would pop out at me from the shelves.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback, it helps me out a ton!

It didn't seem to work for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Soapbox scalp soother rinse-out didn't seem to be very effective for me. i didn't notice a difference in my hair or by the way my hair felt. It does make your scalp feel a lil coolness when left on long enough.

Healthy scalp
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the past few weeks I have experienced dry and itchy scalp. As soon as I got this product I tried it and have noticed a big difference. My scalp is not itchy and it’s not flaky. I would add this to my hair care routine. I love how fast it works. You only need to leave it on for 2 or 3 minutes. I received this free product in exchange of my honest opinion.

Formula is good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this and it kinda leaked everywhere, but it was very effective before it did! It smells pretty strong but it helped make my scalp feel nice and soothed and rejuvenated. Would recommend trying especially if they change the packaging.

Smells good, cooling, but not life-changing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent product. Smells like tea tree oil and mint so it does smell good in my opinion. I can’t say it did much to my scalp. I do usually have a dry scalp on the winter and unfortunately don’t think it showed a big difference, however I will continue to use it to see it how well it does over time! I will say that I liked how the serum felt on my scalp. There was no itching or burning which I’ve definitely experience before with these types of products.

Definitely recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m obsessed with these serum treatments, they exfoliate the scalp so easily and it’s so so easy to use. You just apply it onto the scalp and the nozzle makes it so easy to directly touch the scalp and spread all over. I’ve really seen a difference in my dry flakes (which comes in heavily during the winter times). DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

Great Product, Great Results
I just purchased this item yesterday, I used it once and I already can feel and see a difference! I’m a guy and I have a fringe like hairstyle and I noticed some buildup every time i would mess with my hair to fix it, today however, everytime i messed with my hair I noticed no buildup falling out at all! I’m very pleased with this product as my dry scalp has been a big insecurity of mine for months! I only bought this product, but i’d love to try out the shampoo as well!

Soothing Scalp Treatment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Soapbox’s Tea Tree Soothing Scalp Treatment is a little bottle of relief. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving my scalp feeling refreshed without any greasy residue. The tea tree oil gives a nice tingle (just enough to feel like it’s working without being overpowering).After a few uses, my scalp felt noticeably calmer.

Wash day bestie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Refreshing and slightly tingly but definitely helped my scalp after wash day. I have issues with dry skin and dandruff so using this pretreatment before shampoo makes sure all that dandruff and any thing else is removed. I will definitely recommend.

Cool Tingling Sensation!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Soapbox Tea Tree Soothing Scalp Treatment Pre-Shampoo #Complimentary from Influenster and Soapbox in exchange for my honest feedback. All opinions are my own. I truly appreciate Soapbox’s commitment to using clean ingredients, as well as making their products vegan and cruelty-free. This scalp treatment is sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, and safe for color-treated hair. The Soapbox Tea Tree Soothing Scalp Treatment is formulated with tea tree oil, shea butter, vitamins B5, A, and E, and hyaluronic acid. I’m a big fan of tea tree products and incorporate them often into my hair care routine. Known for their purifying and antibacterial properties, tea tree oil is perfect for scalp health. This pre-shampoo treatment claims to remove buildup, soothe scalp irritation, deeply cleanse, balance the scalp, and promote healthy, hydrated hair. I’ve noticed that this treatment helps my hair maintain volume and reduces frizz. I love the cool, tingling sensation it gives my scalp. It leaves my hair feeling extra clean without drying it out. I highly recommend this new release from Soapbox. A huge thank you to Influenster and Soapbox for sending me this amazing product!

Pretty good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m all about a scalp soother. This one is nice and has a good clean scent, not too strong. It’s got an easy to use bottle. I wish it foamed a little or something because it’s hard to tell if I’ve gotten it everywhere otherwise. But overall it’s effective and I would get it again for the price.

Great buy for the $ - especially if your hair is t
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a girly whose hair is thinning and who loves dry shampoo, I am so happy to have this in my shower!! The smell is divine and I like the way it makes my scalp and hair feel afterward. I appreciate the quality of the ingredients as well. Will totally be replacing this when it’s out!
