Act + Acre

Haircare that treats your scalp like skin. The range is cold processed and built around scalp serums and pre-wash treatments. It suits you if you are dealing with thinning, shedding, build up, flakes or an oily scalp.

For thinning or shedding, start with Act+Acre Stem Cell Scalp Serum 65ml, or Act+Acre 3% Stem Cell Peptide Treatment 89ml if you want more volume and density. For build up or flakes, start with Act+Acre Cold Processed Scalp Renew 60ml, a 15 minute pre-wash treatment.

Mostly, yes. Act+Acre Daily Hydro Scalp Serum 30ml and Act+Acre Microbiome Cooling Scalp Serum 65ml are the gentlest picks. Use the exfoliating pre-wash treatments once a week to begin, and skip the Act+Acre 0.25mm Scalp Dermaroller if your scalp is sore or broken.

Both focus on the scalp. DSD de Luxe uses a numbered system, with a set of products for each concern. Act+Acre has a smaller, simpler range and a more skincare style approach, with serums and pre-wash treatments. If you want one or two products rather than a full system, Act+Acre is easier to start with.
