Description
JuliArt Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier is a pre-shampoo scalp purifier designed to regularly cleanse dead skin cells, oil buildup at the roots, and scalp impurities that are difficult to remove with daily shampoo alone.

Choosing the Right Version
If you want to regularly remove dead skin cells, oil, and impurities from your scalp:
The Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier is the better choice. It is not a replacement for daily shampoo but a "pre-shampoo purifying" step at the beginning of your washing routine; you still need to use shampoo after completing this step.
Classic or Cooling-Free?
If your scalp gets oily easily and you prefer a more noticeable cooling and refreshing sensation after purification, choose the Classic version; if your scalp is drier, more sensitive, or you simply do not like cooling sensations, choose the Cooling-Free version. The main difference between the two is the sensation during use, not that "oily scalps must use Classic" or "dry scalps must use Cooling-Free."
If your main concern is simply daily scalp oiliness without significant dead skin cell buildup:
Consider the JuliArt Ultimate Oil-Control Amino Acid Shampoo, which focuses more on daily cleansing and oil conditioning; the Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier is intended for periodic deep purification.
If your scalp is drier, prone to tightness, or more sensitive, and your main need is gentle daily cleansing:
Consider the JuliArt Gentle Strengthening Amino Acid Shampoo。If you also need to regularly remove dead skin cells and scalp impurities, you can pair it with the Cooling-Free version of the Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier as needed.
If your main concern is recurring dandruff and itching:
Consider using the JuliArt Deep Anti-Dandruff Amino Acid Shampoo for daily cleansing, and periodically add the Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier as a pre-shampoo purifier according to your scalp type.
Directions for Use
- Use on dry hair and a dry scalp.
- Apply an appropriate amount of the exfoliating purifier evenly to the scalp, ensuring it thoroughly contacts the areas that need cleansing.
- Gently massage the scalp with your fingertips for about 1–2 minutes.
- Add water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly, completing the first scalp purification.
- Then use a shampoo suitable for your scalp needs to complete the second daily cleansing.
Recommended usage frequency:
- Oily / moderately oily scalp:1–2 times per week
- Neutral scalp:About once every 10 days
- Dry / sensitive scalp:About once every 2 weeks
- Oily scalp with thinning hair concerns:1–2 times per week
- Dry scalp with thinning hair concerns:About once every 2 weeks
- Oily scalp with dandruff / itching:1–2 times per week
- Dry scalp with dandruff / itching:About once every 2 weeks
The actual usage frequency should be adjusted according to your scalp condition. It is not recommended to increase the usage frequency daily in pursuit of a "cleaner" feeling.

FAQ
Q1. My scalp is very oily and gets oily again quickly after washing. Can I use the Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier?
Yes. If your scalp gets oily easily and you also feel that oil and impurities tend to accumulate at the roots, you can use it 1–2 times per week as a pre-shampoo purifier. However, it is not a daily oil-control shampoo. After purification, you still need to use a shampoo suitable for oily scalps to complete daily cleansing.
Q2. What is the difference between the Classic and Cooling-Free versions?
The main purpose of both versions is to purify dead skin cells and oil on the scalp before shampooing, and the application process and recommended frequency are also the same. The biggest difference is the sensation: the Classic version provides a more noticeable cooling and refreshing sensation; the Cooling-Free version is better suited for those who are more sensitive to cooling sensations, do not like the icy feeling, or prefer a gentler sensation.
Q3. Can dry or sensitive scalps also exfoliate?
Yes, but the usage frequency needs to be lower than that for oily scalps. Dry or more sensitive scalps can generally use it about once every two weeks, and the Cooling-Free version is usually the easier choice to tolerate. The key is regular cleansing, not frequent exfoliation; if you continue to experience noticeable discomfort after use, you should stop using it first.
Q4. My scalp has a lot of dandruff and itching. Can I use it?
Yes, you can add the purification step according to your scalp type. Oily scalp dandruff and itching can be treated about 1–2 times per week; dry scalp dandruff and itching about once every two weeks. The Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier is mainly responsible for removing dead skin cells and oil buildup, and you should still use a shampoo suitable for your scalp needs for daily cleansing.
Q5. My scalp is not very oily. Do I still need to use an exfoliating purifier regularly?
Neutral scalps can also undergo regular pre-shampoo purification, but do not need to use it as frequently as oily scalps. About once every 10 days is generally sufficient. If you do not normally have noticeable oil or dead skin cell buildup or a stuffy feeling, you can adjust the usage according to your actual needs and do not need to use it excessively in pursuit of a cleaner feeling.
Q6. Is the Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier the same as shampoo? Can it be used alone?
It is not recommended to use it alone as a regular shampoo. It is the first step of the shampooing routine, "pre-shampoo purification." Apply it to a dry scalp, massage for about 1–2 minutes, and rinse. You still need to use a daily shampoo to complete the second cleansing for a complete application routine.
Q7. My scalp has an odor or often feels stuffy. Is it suitable?
If the scalp odor and stuffy feeling are related to accumulated scalp oil, sweat, and impurities, regular use of the exfoliating purifier can help strengthen the cleansing of the roots and scalp. Oily or moderately oily scalps can generally use it 1–2 times per week, paired with a shampoo suitable for your scalp type for daily cleansing.
Q8. Is the Classic version only suitable for oily scalps, and the Cooling-Free version only for dry scalps?
No. Both versions can be used according to different scalp types and are not directly divided by oily or dry scalps. The main point of choice is your tolerance for cooling sensations: choose the Classic version if you prefer a more refreshing and cooling sensation; choose the Cooling-Free version if you do not like cooling sensations or are more sensitive to them, and then adjust the usage frequency according to your scalp type.
Q9. Should I use the Glycyrrhizic Acid Exfoliating Purifier before or after shampooing?
It should be used before shampooing, when your hair and scalp are still dry. Apply the purifier evenly to the scalp, massage with your fingertips for about 1–2 minutes, rinse with water, and then use shampoo to complete the second cleansing. Do not wash your hair with shampoo first and then use the exfoliating purifier as a scalp essence.
Q10. Which shampoo can I pair it with?
You can choose according to your scalp needs: for easily oily scalps, pair it with the JuliArt Ultimate Oil-Control Amino Acid Shampoo; for dry or more sensitive scalps, pair it with the JuliArt Gentle Strengthening Amino Acid Shampoo; if dandruff and itching are your main concerns, consider the JuliArt Deep Anti-Dandruff Amino Acid Shampoo.
