Introducing Remi: The Scalp Health Brand That Earned Its Place on Our Shelves

Remi Pro-Active Scalpology is a dermatologically tested, Irish-made scalp health range now stocked at the Institute of Dermatologists. Reviewed and approved by Professor Caitriona Ryan and Professor Nicola Ralph, the range addresses scalp health through evidence-based active ingredients formulated for consistent, progressive use.

At the Institute of Dermatologists, we do not add products to our store lightly. Every brand we stock goes through a rigorous review process, assessed for clinical credibility, ingredient quality, and real-world performance. Remi Pro-Active Scalpology passed that test. Here is why we are proud to introduce it.

Why Scalp Health Matters More Than Most People Realise

Most of us think about skincare from the neck down when it comes to products, and from the chin up when it comes to routines. The scalp sits in a blind spot. Yet the scalp is skin. It has follicles, an oil-producing environment, and a microbiome that directly influences the health of your hair.

Product build-up, pollution, hormonal shifts, and neglect all affect scalp function, and scalp function affects hair density, quality, and longevity. The scalp is where hair health begins. It is one of the most under-served areas in dermatology-adjacent skincare.

How We Found Remi

Professor Caitriona Ryan and Professor Nicola Ralph reviewed a wide range of scalp health brands before selecting Remi. What they were looking for was specific: dermatologically tested formulas, evidence-based active ingredients, and products that would complement the clinical approach our patients already trust.

Remi was tested both in clinical settings and personally. The formulas performed. The ingredients stacked up to scrutiny. And the brand philosophy, scalp first, always, aligned closely with how we approach skin health across the board.

"We assessed several scalp brands before choosing Remi. What stood out was the quality of the actives and the focus on the scalp as a clinical environment, not just a cosmetic one. We tried these products ourselves and with patients, and the results spoke for themselves." -- Professor Caitriona Ryan and Professor Nicola Ralph, Consultant Dermatologists, Institute of Dermatologists

About Remi: Pro-Active Scalpology

Remi was founded by Claire Fullam, a Trichologist based in Dublin, whose own experience of significant hair loss from Alopecia Areata led her to build a brand rooted in education, empathy, and science. Every product in the Remi range is vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologically tested, and proudly made in Ireland.

The range is built around a simple philosophy: address the scalp before the problem arises. Each product is formulated with clinical-grade actives, developed to treat the scalp as the skin it is.

The Remi Range: What We Now Stock

We are launching with the full core Remi range. Here is what each product does:

Bye Bye Build Up: Scalp Exfoliator (250ml)

A weekly triple-acid scalp exfoliator combining glycolic acid, lactic acid (both AHAs), and salicylic acid (BHA) to clear blocked follicles, lift product build-up, and rebalance the scalp surface. Think of it as your scalp's weekly reset. It also primes the scalp for better absorption of everything that follows.

Daily Anchor: Morning Scalp Serum (100ml)

A lightweight, leave-in serum formulated for daily use. Biotin, caffeine, lactic acid, rosemary extract, and niacinamide work together to strengthen the hair follicle, reduce breakage, and support resilience over time. Particularly suitable for those colouring, heat-styling, or growing their hair.

Density Drop: Overnight Scalp Serum (100ml)

Remi's PM serum for those concerned with thinning or density loss. Rosemary extract, vitamin E, copper peptides, and an anti-grey complex nourish and protect follicles overnight while the scalp is at rest. Lavender oil supports a calming, sleep-friendly experience.

The Magnet: Detox Shampoo (250ml)

A weekly deep-cleanse shampoo powered by activated charcoal and salicylic acid. Draws out pollution, metals, and product residue without stripping the scalp. Ectoin adds a stress-protective layer, and hydrolysed wheat protein helps fortify strands. A weekly ritual for anyone whose scalp feels overloaded.

The Spark: Energising Shampoo (250ml)

Formulated for daily use, particularly for women in the pre-menopausal stage who want to support fuller, stronger hair. Rosemary, cucumber, and caffeine stimulate the scalp environment, while panthenol and hydrolysed wheat protein protect the hair strand. Gentle enough for every wash.

The Defender: Energising Shampoo (250ml)

Targeted at men and peri- or post-menopausal women experiencing age-related or hormonal hair thinning. Saw palmetto extract, rosemary, green tea, and caffeine support follicle health and scalp vitality with every wash. Designed to work as the scalp foundation in any hair health routine.

What to Expect: Results Over Time

Scalp health, like skin health, is cumulative. Remi products are formulated for consistent use, and results build progressively. As a general guide:

• 1 month: Reduced flaking, less congestion, calmer scalp, improved product absorption

• 3 months: Improved hair texture, less breakage, early signs of increased density

• 6 months: Stronger, fuller-feeling hair with consistently improved scalp condition
