I was super interested to learn about scalp care brand Act and Acre because I have always struggled with my scalp, and I tend to find that when I can get it to behave, my hair looks better. Here’s the lowdown on the Act and Acre Cold Pressed Scalp Renew that I have been testing out.
What is Act and Acre Scalp Renew?
This is a treatment formulated to balance the scalp’s microbiome.
- Contains 0.15% Salicylic Acid
- Designed to calm the scalp and reduce itching
- Balances sebum and oil levels
- Treats scalp conditions like dandruff and psoriasis

Key Ingredients
This formula is basically like skincare for you scalp. It contains:
- Salicylic Acid 0.15% to gently exfoliate the scalp, remove flakes and reduce oil
- Papaya Extract 0.10% – fruit enzymes to gently remove dead skin and flakes and nourish the scalp
- Peppermint and Menthol blend – to cool and refresh while soothing the scalp
My Review of Act and Acre Scalp Renew
I have a few products from the Act and Acre range to try, but this was the one I couldn’t wait to test first. My scalp is probably the most reactive skin I have, and its state fluctuates very quickly depending on my diet and stress levels.
When it is particularly sensitive, it can get flaky and quite sore, particularly around the hairline at the front and the back of my neck. I am prone to a touch of what I have been told is Psoriasis which can flare up every now again.
I often feel the need for something soothing yet refreshing and renewing, and the Act and Acre Scalp Renew really does the trick. I have only used it once so far and it made an immediate difference.
How to use it
It’s pretty easy to use. You simply part the hair and apply it directly from the tube to the scalp in sections, and then massage it in with the fingers. I left it on for about 20 minutes (while I also had Olaplex No.0* and Olaplex No.3* on the lengths and ends).
It feels light and fresh on the scalp. It’s not overly tingly or minty, but it feels soothing and hydrating. After I had let the treatment work, I went in the shower for my normal shampoo and conditioner routine.
Once my hair was dry, my scalp felt so much more hydrated and less flaky. Plus it looked much more clear and it also felt like my roots appeared cleaner for longer.
I only wash my hair once or twice per week, so I plan to use this once a month or so to keep my scalp in shape. I’m very impressed so far.
Where to buy it
The Act and Acre Scalp Renew is £48 and available at Cult Beauty in the UK.
My other new brilliant hair discovery is the Olaplex Dry Shampoo. Check out my review.
