Worth a shot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample, and it lasted me for about 2 weeks' worth of hair washes. This product worked well with my hair type (thick/wavy, dry, frizzy prone). The shampoo lathered well and smelled clean. My scalp felt hydrated and clean as well; I saw less build up and dandruff in between washes. I do use a lot of other products when I want to do a curly hair regime, and that's when I see more build up. Even so it still helped reduce the amount of buildup but not completely. Furthermore, it helped a little with my frizz, especially when paired with the conditioner. I would recommend this product but just know that everyone may have a different experience. I would suggest you try it knowing that their products can be trusted to be of high quality for skin and hair.

Leaves hair soft and clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this anti-dandruff hydrating shampoo for a few weeks, and it’s working great so far. It reduced my flakes and itchiness without drying out my hair, which is a big plus. My hair feels soft and clean, and the scent is light and fresh. It doesn’t lather much, but it still gets the job done. Definitely one of the better anti-dandruff shampoos I’ve tried.

sabrina q - 13 days ago
This gave me a really bad allergic reaction on my back. I don't have a photo, but I used this shampoo one day and did notice a slight difference in my dandruff. It did help a little bit. However, I was constantly itching my back and I had hives everywhere. I've never had an allergic reaction like this before but I thought it was something else. I used this shampoo again and the itching and hives got even worse. I eventually realized it was this product causing it. I also had lots of itching on my scalp as well and it made it dry and flaky and brought all the dandruff back, which defeated the whole purpose of this shampoo. It has a very faint smell to it that resembles school glue. It's completely an opaque white and it looks like it too lol. I don't have sensitive skin so I'm surprised I developed a reaction. I ended up in the clinic due to this product. I lovr CeraVe but do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this product. I feel like the competitors out there always end up over drying my scalp, but this one truly kept my scalp and my ends moisturized. I’ve never really tried a dandruff conditioner, but I feel like I’m never gonna go back because my dandruff ended up going away and my scalp ended up moisturized.!

Burning Feeling After Use

I love CeraVe products and was excited to try out this formulation. However, this one leaves my scalp with a burning and irritated feeling after use. I gave it a few tries on different wash days and even used it as the only product once just to make sure it wasn't some interaction with the rest of my routine. I know many people love this product, but for some reason my head cannot tolerate it.

My Hair's Savior!

I tried this shampoo for the first time last night, and it was a great experience for my scalp: The scent from the bottle smelled very clean, similar to a doctor's bathroom hand soap or hotel laundry, which I do not mind, and as I lathered/rinsed the shampoo out, that scent went away. The shampoo felt soft on my hands, had a lightweight feeling, lathered really well, and made my scalp feel clean and hydrated! My roots, mid-lengths, and ends felt super soft, and my hair was shiny (*Keep in mind that I double cleanse my scalp, and it takes 4 minutes*). I noticed a huge difference, considering dandruff because my scalp was cleared from it! I am curious to see how my scalp does in the next few days before I need to clean my hair again (I clean my hair when my scalp starts to get oily, which is 3 days maximum after the last shower). This morning, my hair and scalp looked great! I rate this experience a 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone who has dandruff or a very sensitive scalp, like me!

I've been dealing with what I think is perimenopausal scalp itch since turning 40 last June and because I use a keratin treatment on my hair, I've been hesitant to use a dandruff shampoo for relief so that I don't strip the keratin with any sulfates. This sulfate free dandruff shampoo has been amazing. It's helped me with relief of the itching and my hair feels soft also. I also recommend pairing with the conditioner and it's great for my thick hair. This product really gets in and lathers more than I expected of a dandruff shampoo. Very happy I finally found a good product that provides itch relief.

I have tried so many brands for my serebic dermatitis and spent sooo much money on products… I even bought a shower timer to ensure I followed directions to a T and still had little to no relief. This shampoo is AMAZING. It lathers like a dream, and has made such an improvement upon the first time using it. And it’s so affordable!!Definitely recommend to anyone struggling like I have been.

This shampoo actually worked for me, and a lot of the reviews seem kinda promotional, so I figured I’d share my experience. It is worth noting that idk if I have actual dandruff or if I just have a dry, flaky scalp, but this has helped me. I use it 1-2 times a week, in rotation with my regular shampoo. I lather it on my scalp, let it sit for a few min, rinse (with high pressure to remove flakes stuck in my long hair), and repeat. Took a few uses to see the full effects. Cleared flakes and hydrated my scalp without leaving my hair feeling dry and stripped like some other anti-dandruff shampoos (nizoral, head & shoulders). It does have a light smell that reminds me of sunscreen, but it isn’t strong or overpowering. It is also much cheaper than oher medicated shampoos, which is great!

I do find it helps flakes and doesn't leave my hair dry . My only complaint is it's super hard to rinse out
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 29 days ago
Hello Shelby! We're glad to hear our Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo is helping with flakes and dryness. We understand your concern about the rinsing process. This shampoo contains ceramides and salicylic acid, which can sometimes contribute to a feeling of residue if not rinsed thoroughly. We recommend ensuring your hair is completely saturated with water before applying the shampoo, and then taking extra time to rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until you feel no remaining product. Focusing on the scalp during rinsing can also be beneficial.

If you're not sure if your itchy, flaky scalp is just dry, sebhorreic dermatitis, or true dandruff, this is a great option to try. It cleared my flakes/scales, itch, and redness up completely by the third wash. It leaves my hair feeling soft and clean - not stripped! It's so much nicer to use than other medicated shampoos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It helped me get rid of my dandruff. The smell isn't bad but it doesn't smell like nothing to be honest. The packaging makes it easy to use. And for the type of product you are receiving, it is really cheap compared to similar products like it. But overall, the texture of the shampoos is not bad and it's pretty similar to other shampoos.
