Brand note
DARIYA's Fukemin-U line is built for people who think about their scalp the way they think about their face — the pre-shampoo cleansing gel is the anchor here, designed to dissolve buildup and oil before you even touch shampoo. It leaves a minty fresh feeling and, according to one creator, makes double cleansing unnecessary. The line uses licorice root and a gentle antibacterial ingredient to balance sebum and odor, but all the quotes come from a single source, so take that as a strong first impression rather than a consensus.
