OBAGI - Nu-Cil BIOSTIM Scalp Serum

Obagi Nu-Cil® BioStim™ Scalp Serum

Professional Scalp Serum for Hair Density, Follicle Support & Scalp Health

Overview

Obagi Nu-Cil® BioStim™ Scalp Serum is a professional-grade, leave-in scalp treatment formulated to support scalp health, strengthen hair follicles, and improve the appearance of hair density. Developed by Obagi Medical, this advanced scalp serum focuses on the biological environment of the scalp rather than cosmetic hair coating.

Suitable for both men and women, it is designed for concerns including hair thinning, increased shedding, weakened hair at the root, and scalp imbalance.

How It Works

Hair quality and density depend on follicle health and scalp condition. Nu-Cil® BioStim™ Scalp Serum contains Obagi’s proprietary BioStim™ Complex, combining biotin, peptides, amino acids, caffeine, niacinamide, panthenol, and botanical extracts.

This formulation helps condition the scalp, support follicular structure, and improve the scalp environment required for stronger, healthier hair growth. Gentle scalp massage during application further supports circulation and nutrient delivery to hair follicles.

Key Benefits

• Supports a healthy, balanced scalp environment
• Strengthens hair at the follicle to reduce breakage and thinning
• Helps improve the appearance of hair fullness and density
• Lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture
• Suitable for daily, long-term use
• Appropriate for all hair types and both sexes

Nu-Cil® BioStim™ Scalp Serum is non-drug, non-irritating, and suitable for long-term daily use without dependence or rebound shedding.
