What the gurus are saying

This serum hydrates a dry scalp without the heaviness of a body lotion, sinking in cleanly among hair strands instead of gunking them up. Dermatologists praise its lightweight formula (built on glycerin for hydration and balm for calming) and note it delivers the moisture a compromised scalp needs while staying grease-free, much like a comparable drugstore active.

    "The Restore Scalp Serum I've recommended in my video on dry scalp, it's a hydrating formula, but in contrast to just putting body lotion on your scalp, this is not going to gunk up your hair. It goes into hair-bearing areas really well."

    "They make a scalp serum, the Seen Restore Scalp Serum. It has glycerin which is very hydrating, babassu oil which is anti-inflammatory, and squalane and emollient. It's like the ordinary product, lightweight, hydrating, doesn't necessarily leave a greasy residue on the hair."
    ✓Yay
    "They also have a scalp serum called the Seen Restore Scalp Serum. It gives more balance and hydration to the scalp and it prevents dry scalp. I use this occasionally, not that often. I feel like I have pretty good scalp health."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
