Quick answer: tonic, serum or scalp exfoliator?
Choose the tonic for a light morning-and-evening leave-in routine, the Sensitive serum for fragrance-free overnight care when the scalp feels dry or sensitive, and the 4% AHA exfoliator as a rinse-out pre-shampoo step for flakes and product build-up. They are not interchangeable hair-growth treatments and you do not need all three.

| Product | Best suited to | How to use | Live stock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weleda Rosemary Hair Tonic, 100 ml | light daily leave-in care | massage in morning and evening; do not rinse | 117 |

Weleda Rosemary Hair Tonic: the light leave-in option
The formula contains rosemary oil plus stonecrop and horseradish-leaf extracts. Current directions say to massage it into the scalp morning and evening without rinsing. It contains denatured alcohol and fragrance components from essential oils, so the fragrance-free serum is the more cautious format for a very sensitive or irritated scalp. This guide does not promise hair-loss treatment.
Balea Professional Sensitive Serum: fragrance-free overnight care
The serum contains 5% panthenol, glycerin and white-tea extract. It is fragrance-free and positioned for a dry, sensitive scalp. Apply directly to selected areas on dry hair in the evening, massage lightly and wash the hair as usual the next morning. It is cosmetic care, not treatment for eczema, psoriasis or another scalp disorder.
Balea Professional Scalp Exfoliator: 4% AHA before shampoo
This fragrance-free exfoliator contains 4% AHA as glycolic acid plus panthenol. Apply to the scalp, massage lightly, leave for 15–20 minutes and wash out with shampoo. Do not use on irritated or broken skin, avoid the eyes and do not extend the contact time beyond the pack directions.
Can tonic, serum and exfoliator be combined?
You do not need all three at once. Start with one format that matches the goal. The exfoliator is a rinse-out pre-shampoo step; the serum and tonic represent different leave-in or overnight routines. On exfoliation days, keep the rest of the scalp routine simple.
When cosmetic scalp care is not enough
Seek professional advice for severe or persistent itching, pain, weeping areas, marked redness, sudden hair loss or thick scaling. Cosmetic products can support scalp comfort but do not replace diagnosis or treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Which format suits a dry, sensitive scalp?
The fragrance-free Sensitive serum is positioned most clearly for that goal. Persistent irritation needs professional assessment.
Does rosemary tonic treat hair loss?
This guide evaluates it as a cosmetic leave-in format and does not promise treatment or reliable regrowth.
Must the AHA scalp exfoliator be rinsed out?
Yes. This exact product is shampooed out after 15–20 minutes.
Can I use the exfoliator every day?
The product page gives a contact time but does not direct daily use. Follow the delivered pack and reduce use if irritation occurs.
