CAPILO Exfoliating Peel

A weekly scalp reset that clears buildup, sebum and dead skin cells so the products you use next can actually reach the follicle.

Why it works

Scalp skin sheds and produces sebum in the same way facial skin does, yet it rarely gets the same attention. Over time, dead cells, styling residue and oxidised oils can settle around the follicle and dull the benefits of the actives you apply.

The CAPILO Exfoliating Peel uses gentle exfoliating agents to soften and lift that layer. Clinical studies of scalp exfoliation suggest that a clearer follicular opening may support better delivery of topical ingredients and a more balanced scalp microbiome.

Key benefits

Lifts product buildup, excess sebum and dead skin cells in a single weekly step
May support improved absorption of serums, lotions and medicated shampoos
Helps create a fresher, more comfortable scalp between wash days
Formulated to sit alongside the wider Capilo system without over-stripping

Who it's for

Best suited to oily or congested scalps, anyone who uses styling products regularly, and clients who notice flaking, itchiness or a heavy feeling at the roots. It is also a sensible addition for anyone taking scalp health seriously as part of a longer-term hair programme — particularly where serums, minoxidil or prescribed topicals are already in the routine and need a clearer path to the follicle.

How to use

Use once a week on a damp scalp. Part the hair in sections, apply a small amount directly to the skin and massage gently with the fingertips for one to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with your usual Capilo shampoo and conditioning routine. Avoid the eyes and any broken skin.
