LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum for Intense Repair & Restoration
Hair is a very dramatic subject matter involving love, hate, obsession, territorial wars, and pilocide (Latin pilus, hair), threats of sharp objects, transformations, and growth. No wonder there is a musical of the same name rocking the stage. The value of having your hairdo in place has a psychological, not just aesthetic impact, so much so that a "bad hair day" has, for all intents and purposes, become a synonym for a bad day in general.
We are quite zealous to impress, in an ever-growing impact of visual culture, and are happy to spend small fortunes and ridiculous amounts of time focusing on just the top of our heads. Maybe rightfully so, as a level of vanity signifies self-respect and the respect for the situation or event you’re attending. Still, compared to most (not all) historical hairstyles designed for practicality and protection, today we overwash, overstyle, apply excessive heat, spend time in rooms with dry air or fumes-filled city air, and we iron, curl, and tease mercilessly. This is where LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum comes in to repair the damage and fight hair thinning and hair loss that’s impacting an ever greater percentage of our global heads. That’s why a global company put their heads together, offering us something light yet very powerful.
Dead or alive?
Interestingly enough, the hair we give the most attention to is, well, for the lack of a better word, dead. The hair cells that form what we manipulate into a messy bun or a bob, or squish in between the hair iron plates, are no longer living hair cells.
The good news is that you can’t technically kill them, but the bad news is they’ll razzle-dazzle you into forgetting their source. The follicle residing below your scalp is the only living part of the strand, and it mostly gets ignored. We do tend to ignore the deep in favor of the surface. It is just the human condition and a matter of “out of sight…”. Fix the follicle and you’ve fixed all subsequent hair growing from it.
The hair can bend to our will for a while, but it will inevitably result in brittle, lifeless, dull strands, screaming SOS with every split end. Screams we value are those in the bedroom or interpretative songs, so to help these hair cries of us contemporary hair-torturing perfectionists and overachievers, we present FOREO’s LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum. This one reminds us that you can treat the strand alone with as many fancy conditioners and concoctions as you’d like, and will still get limited results, if we ignore scalp health.
Cica and Peptide Complex-packed LUNA™ Scalp Serum for hair growth comes as a topical extension of FOREO’s mega-popular LUNA™ 4 hair 2-in-1 LED scalp massager, creating a treatment that works synergistically and is far greater than the sum of its parts.
Hair-related issues, such as hair loss and dandruff, are on the rise due to all of the torture chamber-like styling methods we use. The LUNA™ Scalp Serum is here to smooth, nourish, and protect the existing hair strands and ensure a healthy scalp while promoting thicker, healthier hair growth. We connect lush, lustrous waterfalls of hair with well-being, youth, fertility, a body so healthy it could afford to waste energy to create a mane that serves no real purpose in survival. It just looks nice and a potential love interest would really like to touch it, you wear it long because it makes you the king (true historical fact with the The Merovingian kings of the Franks or The King or Rock’n’roll), gives you superhuman strength (go Samson, go!), or helps you sneak in suitors into the walled off castle tower. Either way, LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum provides solutions to all who are aware of the impact that stress, environmental factors, poor diet, heat damage, mechanical damage from allowing people to climb into the tower, and cumulative product buildup have on their scalp.
The health of the entire strand (existing and future) depends on the health and balance of the scalp. Each follicle of hair will produce, on average, 20 hairs throughout our lifetime, so we should at least equally split the attention between the hair length and scalp. Scalp care is the foundation for hair growth and should be addressed before any other intervention into the length of the strand. Issues that can lead to scalp problems include the cumulative effect of ignoring excess sebum, the accumulation of dead skin, and product buildup. These can clog hair follicles and contribute to suffocation of the follicle, leading to thinning hair, dandruff, and even hair loss if left unchecked for an extended period.
Traditional hair care products like shampoos and conditioners designed specifically to care for the scalp may have some impact when used consistently, and you should definitely choose quality products you can trust for daily hair care, but LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum was created as an intense treatment. The devastating blow of hair thinning or hair loss doesn’t discriminate between genders. It hits men and women, both, causing concerns and self-esteem issues.
LUNA™ hydrating scalp serum is no surface solution here, but sinks in. Formulated to penetrate deeper into the scalp and strands, it delivers an immense dose of active ingredients to repair existing damage and provide additional hydration and nourishment for new hair growth, making hair look healthier, fuller, shinier, and stronger. The goal for the scalp is clean nourishment, and for the strand to lock in as much moisture as possible. If you’ve been following us for a while, you already know that the aging process is very much basically just drying out of the organism. Hair is no different than skin. A dry hair strand is an old and weak strand. We’re not talking about a dry scalp. You can have an overly oily scalp, but look at the entire length of your hair. What do the last few centimeters of your length look like? Shiny and soft hair or a sort of straw-y, rough feel. If it's hay-like, you need lasting moisture and protection, now.
97% natural origin ingredients
Have you ever found a product that just smelled so divine and did what it was supposed to do (maybe just a little too well). You started preaching to all who have ears, only to finally throw an eyeball on the ingredients months later. The unpronounceable-to-anyone-without-a-lab-coat ingredients made no sense. You googled them, screamed, fainted, came to, fainted again when you remembered, regained consciousness, and were horrified to realize what you’ve let soak into your body. Toxins, hormone disruptors, carcinogens, obesogenes, you name it, they’re all there.
Results are the goal of the treatment, but so is sustainability and the do no harm principle. There is no point in giving a medicine that will make you feel better momentarily while killing you faster, or for self-care that’s poisoning its user. We’re very proud of consumers who have taken matters into their own hands and demand clean skin, body, and hair care, refusing to buy the chemical-laden items. They are changing the market for the better by realizing that we vote for the world we want to live in every single time we open our wallet or swipe our card.
All of FOREO’s cosmetic lines are designed with an impressive percentage of natural ingredients, ranging up to 99% in some products. They followed the same logic of respectful and responsible production, along with hyper-effective formulas, in LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum. It takes what it found in nature and adapts it to raw scalp and hair growth processes, not interfering but supporting and stimulating. Vegan & cruelty-free, and formulated with 97% natural origin ingredients, the serum is dermatologist tested & suitable for all skin types. Sulfate- and paraben-free, it gently and non-invasively treats the scalp and is applied to towel-dried or dry hair, depending on whether you prefer to use it pre-wash or as a leave-in post-wash.
Star ingredients
THE STRENGTHENING PEPTIDE COMPLEX
Proteins are the building blocks of life, and peptides are the building blocks of proteins. Smaller in size and consisting of anywhere from 2 to 50 amino acids, they penetrate deep. They can insert themselves where damage needs to be fixed. The peptide complex supports scalp and hair health by amping up collagen production and fortifying the hair shaft to reduce breakage and improve hair texture. So strong, shiny, soft, and lush hair. Not a bad job for a few molecules.
REPAIRING CICA (CENTELLA ASIATICA)
You’ve most likely seen cica in everything lately in skincare, but its fantastic care properties can be extended to the scalp and hair. Cica boosts hair growth by doing something very important for the only living part of your hair - the follicle. It enhances the nutrient flow, calming the scalp and reducing daily irritation (some unavoidable, some not) to create the perfect environment for strong, healthy hair.
SOOTHING PORTULACA EXTRACT
A very strange thing indeed, but true. If you didn't breathe or eat, you wouldn’t age (You also wouldn’t live very long, so it wouldn’t matter). Oxidative stress is the price we pay for being alive and exchanging gases and nutrients with our surroundings, and it really catches up with us as we age and the bodily detox processes slow down. Portulaca extract’s nutrient-rich formula, packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant powers, calms the scalp, shields it from oxidative stress, and keeps it moisturized.
Should you use the serum with the red light hair device?
Ideally, yes, but if you’re unable for whatever reason, financial or otherwise (you can't have nice things due to toddlers, you’re into a new minimalism lifestyle, or are proving a point to someone), you’ll still benefit from the scalp serum alone. However, keep in mind that it was developed for synergistic effects with LUNA™ 4 hair, the 2-in-1 scalp massager. The device has a reparative and strengthening effect not only on the scalp but also on the entire hair surface, delivering a unique result in just 1 month. The most important features are the red LED therapy, which enhances mitochondrial function (energy production) in follicle cells, and the intense delivery of fresh oxygen and nutrients due to the deeply penetrating T-Sonic™ massage, which stimulates microcirculation in the scalp.
The 395 spectacular ultra-hygienic silicone bristles also work to sweep away any buildup loosened by the T-Sonic™ pulsations. If you’ve been using hair products and haven't been flushing out with a mixture of water and vinegar for the final rinse, you likely have buildup on the scalp and the strands. The bristles also part the hair to allow the red LED light to reach all hair follicles, with no obstacles, for a higher efficacy treatment.
LUNA™ 4's massage feature (ASMR flashback, I just can’t get over how good a head massage feels) and soft yet sturdy, comb-like bristles help evenly distribute LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum across the scalp and hair, achieving perfect coverage, much better than doing it by hand. The property of the pulsations to enter the skin vertically rather than horizontally surface movements will also enhance absorption of delivering actives, deeper into the scalp where they are needed, resulting in enhanced efficacy. Consistency is key. You did not damage your scalp or hair in a single afternoon. It took time, and so will healing. Imagine a boost of extra hydration, reduced breakage, and improved overall hair texture from a single use. Now, multiply it by a month. Let’s say you wash your hair three times a week and decide to use the serum consistently. Now extend this to a year. Each one has 52 weeks. Do the math. The point is to introduce something good and nourishing, and include practices that will support health, growth, and vitality rather than depleting you.
If you do choose to use your serum with the LUNA™ 4 hair, you’ll also be delighted by the smart Swedish design. The device is 100% waterproof and designed for your convenience, seamlessly fitting into hair-washing days, showers, or bath routines. You can use it alone for a deep cleanse and a scalp massage if you have no need for the serum.

How to use LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum with LUNA™ 4 hair?
STEP 1 - PURIFY SCALP (Hair wash days)
Wet your hair and apply the shampoo. Turn LUNA™ 4 hair on and slowly but firmly glide it in tight circular motions all over the scalp, paying particular attention to problem areas. Once finished, turn the device off, feel fresh, and be happy. Optional: Apply LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum to towel-dried hair.
STEP 2 - REPAIR HAIR (Hair wash days)
Apply and rinse off your shampoo as usual. Apply your favorite silicone-free (please make it silicone-free) conditioner or hair mask. Turn LUNA™ 4 hair on, and glide the device through the lengths of your hair to evenly distribute the conditioner throughout your strands as you’d do with the scalp serum. Once finished, turn the device off, and rinse out your conditioner. Optional: Extra concentrated repair session with LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum applied and massaged into towel-dried hair.
STEP 3 - PROTECT & STRENGTHEN HAIR (Hair wash & non-hair wash days)
Complete your treatment by applying a few drops of LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum onto towel-dried or completely dry hair. Massage into scalp and hair follicles with your LUNA™ 4 hair device or your fingertips.
LUNA™ Dual-Peptide Scalp Serum is more than just a treatment; it’s a shift in perspective. It reminds us that true hair health starts at the source, and that nourishing the scalp is a long-term love letter to every strand that follows. Paired with the LUNA™ 4 hair device, this ritual also becomes a powerful, red light illuminated sensory experience—one that repairs, strengthens, and restores with every drop and pulse.
We hope you’ve learnt something new, that thinning and loss forget your address, and that you’ll have a good hair day. Stay curious, stay beautiful, let your hair down, and enjoy living in your skin.
