Pros
I've used about 4 bottles of Aesop shampoo, and I always feel good when using it. It's not too stiff, the cleansing power is not bad, and the fragrance is good!
Cons
Expensive.. The downside is that it's pricey.. It has a relatively small capacity I'm not sure about the efficacy claims

Pros
I recommend it to oily teenagers or people with sensitive skin. After using it, it will remove excess oil from the scalp. I also recommend it to teenage friends who have scalp trouble due to oily skin. The oil does not come back up until the evening.
Cons
For someone with dry hair, it felt a bit too dry to use every day. After using it for about 3 months, the oiliness was greatly reduced, so I ended up alternating between this and a regular shampoo later on. The price is quite expensive... If you're not someone who struggles with oily hair, it might feel a bit too pricey. For dry hair, I really don't recommend it. Especially with this shampoo, your hair feels very stiff when rinsing it out.
Tip
There is also an Aesop treatment, but personally I recommend using Aesop shampoo and combining it with another brand's more nourishing treatment or conditioner. After using it for about 6 months, I found that the oiliness was greatly reduced, and I felt it was a bit dry, so I carefully recommend alternating between this and a regular shampoo. For those concerned about oily hair/scalp odor, try this shampoo + Evrosse hair vinegar + scalp toner combination. Even in the evening, I sometimes get a faint herbal scent from my scalp. My ex-boyfriend used to always smell my scalp, but I was confident about it. 👍🏻

Pros
My scalp is oily, but this product completely removes the excess oil and I love it. The oil control also works really well, so the oil takes a long time to come back.
Cons
The lather doesn't form well, so I end up using a lot of it, and it feels a bit sticky when rinsing. Conditioner or a hair treatment is essential.

Pros
When my husband comes to smell my hair, I used to flinch honestly, but now I'm confident. ㅋㅋ There's no unpleasant odor in my hair, and it has a fresh feeling, so I've been using it consistently. Even though I often skip hair treatments due to my busy life, the softness is still decent. I usually do hair treatments 1-2 times a week. My daughter has dyed hair, so she uses a separate hair treatment daily. But I'm very satisfied because my hair feels healthier. I also bought it for my mom who was struggling with hair loss, and she said her hair falls out less and itches less.
Cons
In my opinion, the price is a bit expensive ㅜ But even though it's pricey, it's a worthwhile shampoo to use.

Pros
It looks pretty and smells nice when placed in the bathroom. It lathers well and rinses off easily.
Cons
I've tried all the Aesop shampoo lines, but the stiff feeling after rinsing is unavoidable for all of them. However, you get used to it over time.

Pros
This shampoo had everything - cleansing power, fragrance, and hair softness. The only downside is that as winter approached, it started causing more static electricity and making my hair feel a bit stiff, so I switched to a different shampoo. But nothing else quite matches the satisfaction I got from this one. I'm planning to repurchase it. If you're debating between the Aesop shampoo and the Equalizing shampoo, and you have an oily scalp, I'd definitely recommend the Equalizing one!
Cons
The hair does feel soft, but the cleansing power is quite strong, so it can leave the hair feeling a bit stiff. I'd recommend using a conditioner along with it. The fragrance is quite strong, so there may be some who don't like it. But if you enjoy strong scents like I do, you'll probably love it. I'd suggest trying it out in the store to see if you like the fragrance.

Pros
Ah, here it is. Is the formula different from the original? I didn't feel any particular discomfort. I felt the cleansing power was strong. With Aesop, the scent is part of the experience - it's healing.
Cons
The strong cleansing power could be considered a downside. The price-to-value ratio is quite low, so the emotional packaging is used to compensate for that.
Tip
Give it a try. I highly recommend it for oily hair types. Use a cheaper pre-wash to remove excess oil, then use this more expensive shampoo.
