Round Lab Pine Calming Cica Scalp Ampoule: Leave-In Scalp Treatment for Sensitive or Itchy Scalps

The scalp is skin, and most people treat it like hair. Round Lab's scalp ampoule corrects that, applying the brand's pine and cica signature to targeted scalp relief. At 15ml in a precision applicator, this is a concentrated spot-treatment or daily-drop product, not a rinse-out treatment. The format matters: direct scalp delivery with a needle-tip applicator lets the active reach the follicle environment without hair-coating interference.

The combination of centella asiatica (calming), pine extract (anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial), and typical barrier-support ingredients (panthenol, hyaluronic acid) targets the most common adult scalp complaints: itch, flaking, post-dye irritation, and early thinning linked to scalp inflammation. It is not a hair-growth product. It is a scalp-health product, which may support better hair retention indirectly.

What It Does

Pine extract delivers phytoncides and antimicrobial support, useful against mild fungal or bacterial drivers of dandruff and itch. Centella's madecassoside calms inflammation and supports barrier repair. Panthenol hydrates the scalp and reduces flaking. Over 4 to 8 weeks of daily application, users typically report less itch, reduced visible flaking, and a calmer-feeling scalp. Effects on hair density and growth are indirect and take 3 to 6 months if they occur.

FAQ

Will it make my hair greasy?

No, if used correctly. The formula is watery and absorbs quickly into the scalp. Greasiness usually comes from applying too much (more than 7 to 10 drops) or letting the product sit on strands instead of scalp.

Does this replace medicated anti-dandruff shampoo?

No. For diagnosed seborrheic dermatitis or persistent dandruff, medicated shampoos (ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione) are the primary tool. This ampoule is a supportive leave-in that reduces inflammation between washes.

Can I use it with minoxidil?

Yes. Apply minoxidil first, let absorb 30 to 60 minutes, then apply the Round Lab ampoule. They serve different purposes and do not conflict.

How long until I see results?

Itch reduction: 3 to 7 days. Flake reduction: 2 to 3 weeks. Scalp feel and calmness: 4 to 6 weeks.

How long does 15ml last?

Daily use: 4 to 6 weeks. Twice weekly: 3 months.
