Your Weekly Scalp Reset
Bye Bye Build-Up is a triple-acid pre-shampoo exfoliator that works like a deep cleanse for your roots. Packed with AHA (glycolic and lactic acid) and BHA (salicylic acid), this lightweight gel formula gently lifts away flakes, sweat, pollution, and product residue — leaving your scalp soothed, balanced, and refreshed.
It clears blocked follicles, calms irritation, and boosts the performance of every product that follows. Dermatologically tested and suitable for all hair types — this is the first step to fuller, healthier-looking hair.
Standout Ingredients
-
Glycolic Acid (AHA): Loosens dead skin cells and improves product absorption
-
Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates oily scalp pores to reduce flaking and build-up
-
Lactic Acid (AHA): Gently hydrates while exfoliating
-
Witch Hazel Leaf Water: Calms irritation and reduces itchiness
-
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein: Supports hair strength and elasticity
-
Panthenol: Moisture-binding and soothing
How to Use
Apply 1 to 2 times per week before shampooing. Work into the scalp, leave for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly before shampooing as normal.
Complete Your Scalp Routine
Bye Bye Build-Up works best as the first step in a consistent scalp routine. Follow it with:
-
Remi The Magnet Detox Shampoo — use immediately after rinsing the exfoliator, once a week, for a thorough deep-cleanse that removes any remaining residue.
-
Remi The Spark or Remi The Defender Energising Shampoo — use on non-exfoliator wash days as your regular daily shampoo to keep the scalp clean between treatments.
-
Remi Daily Anchor Morning Scalp Serum — apply every morning to a clean scalp. Exfoliating weekly means your serum absorbs more effectively.
-
Remi Density Drop Overnight Scalp Serum — apply every night. Pair with Daily Anchor for 24-hour scalp support.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Remi Bye Bye Build-Up do?
- It is a pre-shampoo scalp exfoliator that uses a combination of AHA and BHA acids to clear product build-up, dead skin cells, and sebum from the scalp surface and follicles, leaving the scalp balanced and primed for better product absorption.
- How often should I use Remi Bye Bye Build-Up?
- Use it 1 to 2 times per week before shampooing. It is not designed for daily use. Apply to the scalp, leave for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly and follow with shampoo.
- What acids does Remi Bye Bye Build-Up contain?
- It contains glycolic acid and lactic acid (both AHAs) and salicylic acid (a BHA). Together they address both surface exfoliation and deeper follicle-level build-up.
- Is Remi Bye Bye Build-Up suitable for sensitive scalps?
- Yes, though those with sensitive or reactive scalps are advised to begin with once-weekly use and increase gradually. The formula includes witch hazel and sodium hyaluronate to help soothe and hydrate the scalp after exfoliation.
- Why should I use a scalp exfoliator if I already use a scalp serum?
- Exfoliating weekly clears the scalp surface of build-up and dead skin cells, which allows leave-in serums such as Remi Daily Anchor and Density Drop PM to absorb more effectively and work harder.
