It is for your scalp. Maybe I should've said it made my scalp dry. BT is great and it works great for some, but the sulfur in it didn't agree with my hair after awhile.
I've seen some progress in the short time that I've been using it, but I think that it's causing my face to break out. I have to figure a way around that because I really would hate to stop using it because of that. But oerall, I give it 2 thumbs up.
