Neutrogena Hair Restore Advanced Growth Support Serum 1.7 fl oz — lightweight, fragrance-free scalp serum with micro-peptides & ni

This water-based serum was developed with dermatologists to deliver scalp-first ingredients that absorb quickly without a greasy finish. The formula uses patent-pending micro-peptides small enough to reach multiple surface layers, alongside known actives like niacinamide and caffeine, to strengthen the environment around hair follicles. The pointed pipette allows targeted application so you can place product where you need it most.

How does this serum fit into a daily hair routine?

Apply the serum directly to the scalp on damp or dry hair in just a few drops per section for an easy step. Massage until absorbed; the lightweight texture sits on the scalp without weighing hair down. For measurable improvement in visible density, use together with Neutrogena Hair Restore Shampoo and Conditioner.

• Separate hair into 3–4 sections for focused application
• Use the pointed pipette to deposit one drop per section
• Gently massage into scalp until fully absorbed
• Pair with Hair Restore Shampoo & Conditioner for best support

What are the key ingredients and why they matter?

The serum combines 10 science-backed ingredients chosen to support scalp health and the appearance of fuller hair. Niacinamide helps condition the scalp environment, caffeine can energize the skin surface, and algae and mango fruit extracts provide botanical support. Feverfew is included for its calming properties to help the scalp resist external stressors.

• Patent-pending micro-peptides penetrate multiple surface layers
• Niacinamide and caffeine to support a healthy scalp milieu
• Algae and mango fruit extracts for nutritional support
• Feverfew to soothe and protect from environmental aggressors

Will the serum feel heavy or leave residue?

The formula is water-based and specifically designed to be non-greasy, so it absorbs into the scalp without the oily finish left by some hair oils. That makes it suitable to use before styling and compatible with most leave-in products. Because it’s fragrance-free and free of dyes, sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, it minimizes the chance of adding unnecessary buildup.

• Light, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly
• Fragrance-free for minimal sensory interference
• Formulated without common irritants and harsh additives
• Compatible with other styling or treatment products

What results can I expect and how soon?

When used as part of the Hair Restore system (serum plus shampoo and conditioner), the line supports visibly increased density and reduces shedding due to breakage compared with a non-conditioning shampoo. Individual results vary with consistency of use and hair type; allow several weeks of regular application to evaluate change. The targeted pipette and scalp-penetrating micro-peptides are designed to place actives where they can support root reinforcement.

• Supports visible density when paired with full Hair Restore regimen
• Helps reduce shedding due to breakage versus non-conditioning shampoo
• Designed for consistent daily or regular use
• Precision applicator for targeted treatment placement

Who this is for: This serum is intended for people looking to improve scalp health and the appearance of hair density without heavy oils or added fragrance. It's a good fit for those who prefer dermatologist-developed formulas, want a simple targeted step in their routine, or are already using Neutrogena Hair Restore Shampoo and Conditioner and want to add a concentrated scalp treatment. Avoid if you prefer fragranced products or need a topical medicated treatment—consult a professional if you have a scalp condition.
