Is the valve sticking or is there something under the valve stopping it seating ?
With any 'curse word' additive just thing about all the other deal that will get unstuck and where it will go ?!
Really not a fan of 'miracle' chemical cures for what is essentially a mechanical problem. Sticky valves is a problem I have to deal with quite regularly and the only cure is to remove, clean and replace as necessary.

Sticky lifter or actual valve? I'm very cynical so wrote all oil additives off as nonesense. But then I used some wynnes engine flush I got free with some oil on my old golf engine that had a few sticky lifters and sounded awful - I put the engine flush in, took it round he block and it was like new, massive difference.
