The Neutrogena Exfoliating Clarifying Shampoo is a high-performance cleanser that utilizes grapefruit extract and a surfactant-heavy base to strip stubborn product buildup. Designed for oily-scalp maintenance, it provides a chemical exfoliation effect that lowers the surface pH to seal the cuticle and enhance luminosity. It is particularly effective at removing mineral deposits from hard water.
Strategic post-wash care is required to maintain cuticle hydration due to the aggressive cleansing profile. Weekly usage is recommended to prevent the scalp from overcompensating for dryness. To maintain the integrity of the mid-lengths and ends, a moisture-locking pH-balancing conditioner should be applied immediately after rinsing to maintain surface elasticity.
