Attention Suffers of Mild Seborrheic Dermatitis and/or Psoriasis!!
Alright, let preface this by saying, I am not a doctor or medical expert, I can only speak to the results, I myself have experienced.Back Story:So about 2 years ago, I started getting dry skin around my mouth, nose, eyebrows, and occasionally my ears and cheeks. It was pretty mild, so I never went to a dermatologist. However, before this time, never did I have to lotion my skin regularly, so this was a change for me.When this started happening, I used Aquaphor Healing Ointment (Advanced Therapy), and while it made me look greasy or like I was sweating for a couple hours, lol, it wore off enough, and would leave me looking normal the rest of the day. The only time my skin was really irritated was right after I would shave. However, dryness/peeling would get real bad if I did not at least lotion all those areas of my face after I showered. While I did some minor Googling about the issue, I was clearly too lazy to do anything about it, and the lotion solution sufficed for me. Dumb, I know.Anyways, fast forward to about 1.5 months ago. I started to notice a white growth under my left thumbnail that started to detach my nail from my nail bed. For some reason, this concerned me more than the dry skin on my face. So after Googling again, I found ti could be a problem with yeast growth under my nail. Then, I remembered reading that yeast growth could be causing my face problems. After connecting the dots, I decided to find a possible solution, to possibly kill two birds with one stone.After some searching, I stumbled onto Nizoral. After reading all the reviews, I was encouraged. I purchased this product and it has helped me tremendously. I could not be happier. It says to use it only every 3-4 days, which I say you should stick to, because I would use it on back to back days and it would seem to dry my skin out, but that could have been in my head.My Use:So, I know this is shampoo, but I almost treat it like liquid soap. I rub it on my skin/scalp and leave it there for 3-5 minutes. For my fingernail, I would lift it, since there was a gap and the nail was coming up. I put Nizarol directly in the ever so small opening between the nail and nail bed, and left it for 3-5 minutes. I am not sure if that was smart for the fingernail, but it worked for me.Results:TLDR: It worked everywhere, lol.Mouth/Upper Lip: This area was the worst of my dry skin issues. Like said, it was especially bad after shaving. Sometimes, my skin would be patchy red and inflamed after shaving, especially on the top of my chin and right below my lip. It would look gross for like an hour. In addition, when I did not shave, but did not lotion my skin, this area would eventually get pretty flaky before the end of the day. I also had issues with the corners of my mouth, especially after eating. My upper lip generally did not have any issues, but sometimes I would in very cold/dry weather.So, after using this product, I have seen a great deal of improvement. For the first time in almost 2 years, I do not have to lotion my face every single day. The patch below my lip still is not where I want it to be, but it is very much better. My skin feels dry after a shave, but now it does not look red or inflamed. It is getting better, and I think it will continue to get better. The corners of my mouth have issues if I do not lotion for 2 days or so, but they are much more minor to what they used to be. The minor issue above my lip is currently non-existent, however, we have not had any cold weather yet. This was the most noticeable problem I had with my dry/flaky/peeling skin, and I am happy to say, Nizarol has worked wonders. I now can use regular lotion instead of Aquaphor, which I still adore.Eyebrows: This was my second worse area, and I say eyebrows, but it was actually the area in between my eyebrows would flake worse than my eyebrows. I rub Nizarol into my eyebrows, in between them, and around my eye sockets. Nizarol has pretty much cleared up this issue, and I am thrilled Nizarol has basically eliminated the second worst dry area on my face. If I do not use lotion for several days, it does flake, but in a very minor way. Side note: be careful around your eyes, it burns pretty good if you get the shampoo runoff in your eye, lol.Nose/Nostrils: This was my third worst area. I would have dry skin on the sides of my nose, the point of my nose, and even on the inside of my nostrils! First off, putting Nizarol in your nostrils may not be safe. If you do do it, don’t huff the Nizarol when it is in your nostrils, breath through your mouth. My nose area has improved, but is now more of an issue than my eyebrows. Still it is much better, and I can go a couple days without using lotion. It is also more of the inside of the nostrils than the outside of my nose. I think if I were willing to put Nizarol further up my nose than just the inside rim, I could eliminate the problem. But, at what cost? Lol. I don’t want to ingest this stuff, lol. Either way, I am still happy!Head/Scalp: I have never had much of an issue with my scalp other than minor dandruff, for which I have always used Head & Shoulders. Despite this, I use this shampoo, as intended. I can not honestly tell if it is making any difference. Also, I have very short hair, so I cannot tell if this makes my hair coarse like everyone else says. If it does, I would use a conditioner like other reviews suggest.Ears/Earlobes: So, while it was more rare, but sometimes, my ear lobes and the bottom crease where the ear connected to my face would get dry and flake. I rub Nizarol on my ears, on the inside of my ears, and behind my ears/ear lobes. I have zero issues here now and never have to lotion this area any more.Forehead/Cheek Areas:These were not really problem areas unless it was cold/dry/windy. We have not had that type of weather, but I really do not think it will be a problem.Pelvic Area: I know this is a touchy subject, lol, but what I have to say is tame and could help some people. So several months back, something new happened, I noticed my pelvic area was dry as well, after using clippers. I used Nizarol in the creases of my leg, and in in my pelvic area, including directly on my —–. Results? Well, this has virtually eliminated the dry skin everywhere. Even better, I am chaffing less when running, which is awesome! I figured Nizarol was working everywhere else, so what the hell? Luckily for me, this was another minor issue it helped.Fingernail: Getting back to my fingernail, I had this white chalky/flaky formation under my fingernail. It had got to almost halfway down my thumbnail. It was causing my nail to lift. It did not hurt, but I thought it was unsightly. So I lifted the nail and put Nizarol in there. Again, possibly not safe, but a couple weeks in and my nail is almost back to normal. I eventually started cutting deeper into my nail to get the Nizarol farther back, which has worked. My nail almost looks normal and it looks like it is pushing the last of white to the font of my nail. So the growth stopped moving backward and it has improved. Another win!Others Uses?: As you can tell, I pretty much use this stuff all over. I put it on my elbows, the knuckles of my toes, and the point of my ankle bone. I think it is helping, but I am not 100% sure. What I can tell you is that it seems that it seems easier to get the dry skin off after applying the shampoo. A pedicure is on the docket and if I remember, I will update this review.Conclusion:Nizarol has worked way better than I could have hoped, and I did not even have to go to the dermatologist. I am hoping within a couple months, my skin will go back to normal. I am not sure if that will happen, but I love what Nizarol has done for me. I encourage anyone that has some of the issues I had to give it a try. Again, my issues were mild compared to some of the pictures I have seen, but I imagine if you are struggling with mild to intermediate issues, and you have not gone to a dermatologist, this could help you.I hope all this helps! Good luck!****Update: 7/25/2017***Fingernails: Nizoral completely fixed my nail problem!Face: So, when I first started using this product, I saw quite a bit of improvement. I no longer have red patches anywhere on my face. The only issue is that there have been diminishing returns. Nizarol has helped tremendously, but I still have dryness and dead skin issues. It is much more mild now, but still exists, however, I am grateful for the continued results.Scalp: Lol, I still cannot tell if this is helping or not. I still have minor dandruff. Nizarol has had no effect on my scalp as far as I can tell. Not a big deal for me though…

Just Buy It!!
* Disclaimer, this is a long review, but I’m so incredibly happy with the results that I want you to know how upsetting it was that nothing worked longer than a day until I bought this shampoo.I started getting dandruff in my late 20’s. I’m 36 now. At first it wasn’t bad and then it got noticeable to the point I was embarrassed. For reference I have really dark brown hair, thick and very long. I had literally tried every kind of dandruff shampoo and conditioner from stores to online to salon recommended. From $5 bottles to $35 plus. The only way they would remotely work is if I used them daily, but by the end of the day or next morning, I’d have the ugly white flaking or white piece stuck in the middle of a strand of hair. If I went two days without using them, it would be enough to notice even with my hair in a bun And headband. And I usually wash my hair every 3-4 days because I never needed to wash it daily.I randomly searched on Amazon again about a month or two ago for dandruff shampoo because now it was getting itchy and I was so upset every day to see my hair. I found this product with high reviews, Nizoral. I said to myself, I’m desperate and I’ll try anything. I purchased it. When I first went to use it, it was super blue and I wasn’t sure how it would leave my hair, but I scrubbed it all around my scalp, only one wash. Then I used my normal conditioner, Nexxus, not any kind of anti dandruff conditioner (because I have those too). I wanted to see what the Nizoral would do without also having to use an anti dandruff conditioner. And for another reference (there’s a lot of these), I first used it after not washing my hair for about 3-4 days, with only using dry shampoo in between. I got out of the shower and didn’t see white flakes. I let my hair dry naturally as I wasn’t going anywhere and drying it is a 30-40 minute process which I don’t like doing lol. But I love my long hair; it’s a love/hate relationship.Anyways, back to this magical shampoo, I woke up the next morning and no flakes, no white stuck in strands of my hair, no grossness falling out of my hair onto my sink or clothing when I ran my hands through my hair or brushed it, nothing! I was so excited, but hesitant because I said let’s give this the day test. Checked back at night, nothing. Checked the next morning, nothing. I went 4 days without one single flake before my head was a little itchy because of just needing to be washed.I repeated the Nizoral shampoo with my normal conditioner again, and same thing. Days and no flakes or itching. I literally cried I was so happy and couldn’t believe the type of sorcery this product had bestowed upon my head.I am now on month 2 or 3 I think, and I use this once a week with my regular conditioner and the dandruff is just gone. And that is days in between without washing my hair. It also doesn’t make my hair dry or feel gunky or anything. My hair is always soft and smells nice. I was worried something like this would give off a weird medicated kind of smell, but not at all!If you have dandruff and nothing has worked or your tired of having to use something every day in order for it to work, just stop and buy this. It’s not even that expensive and I have had two months of use from ONE bottle; again with that reference, I have hair down to my bum that takes 40 fricken minutes to dry with a blow dryer because it’s so thick.Hands down I would literally promote this shampoo anywhere, even though my dandruff has been a really embarrassing condition for me. I wish I had before and after photos, but my dandruff was pretty much gone after the first use. So I couldn’t even get a before picture now and it hasn’t come back.Seriously, if you made it this far, Just buy it!** Also, quick footnote, I do shower daily. I just don’t wash my hair every day. It goes up in a tight bun on my hair days off in the shower, which usually will stay up the rest of the day because I work from home and between being a single Mom getting a 7 year old up and ready for school and morning chores and then working for 10-12 hours, I’m too lazy to style my hair. Now, I do use a normal dry shampoo in between hair washes. But I had that routine before I bought this product, so I know 100% the only reason my dandruff is gone is because of the Nizoral shampoo.*** Second footnote, I’m not being paid to write this nor was this some kind of promotional item I got to use to write about. I’m just that impressed and so happy with the results and I know there has to be someone else out there that is going through that struggle I did and I just want that person to feel the happiness I do right now.**** This is the longest review I’ve ever written in my life.

It really got rid of my dandruff
In a short time i was able to get rid of the snow flakes in my hair, it actually was surprising. I usually don’t like using too much chemicals in my hair but this was a must after getting dandruff in the summer because of wearing hats. The only negative thing i noticed was that my scalp feels like it’s burning after i use this shampoo so i have to be careful when showering my hair and the smell even though it’s not bad it doesn’t feel natural, but overall it’s extra effective

Smells really nice
I bought the Nizoral shampoo because I had read if you wash your hair once/twice a week with this shampoo, it will work like a clarifying shampoo and that the active ingredient helps keep your hair growth cycle healthy. Lathers really well, like the scent. I don’t use it more than once a week as it can be drying to your hair.

Itch and flake free
I had a weird thing happen. When I was in Aruba I was climbing onto a catamaran to go on a sunset cruise. I slammed the top of my head on this overhang that literally said, “what your head.” I saw stars. I do believe I got a concussion. Anyway – fast forward a month later and the area on my head was getting so itchy. I kept trying different shampoos, serums, treatments, etc and nothing really helped. All of a sudden last week that area on my head was itchier than ever and I almost died when I saw all of the flakes in my hair. I have black hair and it literally looked like I had been out in the snow. I was horrified!! I have never had this kind of issue of itchy, flaky scalp, ever!! I tried Hair Envy, a hair serum that is supposed to help dry, flaky scalps. I used a few other oils with no success. I even put Aloe gel I got in Aruba on my scalp trying to soothe it. All I wanted to do was scratch my head so hard, it was driving me crazy!! I came on Amazon to look for a shampoo for dry scalp and this was the first one that came up. It had SO many good reviews. I read tons of them. I thought, ok let me give it a try. I got the hair conditioner as well. I used it for the first time today. NO FLAKES!! After one use!! Once in a while I may get a slight twinge of an itch but it doesn’t even bother me. I didn’t believe this was going to do anything for me since I had already tried so many other products. After one wash I am so pleased. I’ve been told the reason for this scalp irritation could be due to me slamming my head on that boat and there could actually be either nerve damage on my head or swelling under the skin that is effecting a lack of blood flow to the top of my scalp. So typical of my luck. But this shampoo has helped with the discomfort in just one wash. My hair feels so clean and soft. I thought for sure the smell of the shampoo would have a strong unpleasant scent. It barely has a scent all and the little scent it has is quite pleasant. I highly recommend this!!! I cannot wait to use it a few more times to see if those little twinges of itch I am still feeling completely go away.

This did what nothing else could!
I’ve been fighting against a fierce itching and awful flaking on my psoriasis ridden scalp for about 6 years now. I tried dozens upon dozens of different products that was supposed to help it, and none of them were good enough. I even got to the point where I had to cut off almost all of my long 4B hair, because it was too coily and tangly, and made it terrible to remove the flakes that were flooding it.But this shampoo did what absolutely none of the others could do!At first I had to keep using it every 3 or so days, because that’s how long it took for the awful itching and flaking to come back with a vengeance, but quickly enough I was able to work my way up from there, and now I’ve settled into a nice routine of washing every week and a half, with 0 complaints! I’ve even tested it, and now, after 2 months of use, I can even go almost 2 and a half weeks before any of the itching or dandfruff from before comes back, and even *that* isn’t nearly as bad as what I used to get before!It’s also important to note that this shampoo isn’t as drying as all the others I’ve tried, even the shampoo/conditioner mixes. Often, the others would completely dry out my scalp and hair, and even if I tried to oil my scalp to fight against the dryness, I’d sometimes have days where the itching would just immediately come back in only mere hours, like I’d never even washed. But with *this* shampoo, I don’t feel that same dryness, not even to my hair, which might be part of why it works so well for me. And now, after all this regular use, my hair that always used to be perpetually dry feeling has gained back the natural oil to it that it’s suppose to!I think it’s important to say that I use this after using a scalp scrub, just to make sure there’s none of the dandruff buildup I get on my scalp left before I use it. That’s just me being cautious, though, because I’ve also had washes where I only used the shampoo, and my scalp still came away perfectly clear after a scratch test.If you need a reason to buy this, go ahead and do it! It’s a total miracle worker if you just put in the time and stay consistent with it!

It works.
I think first it is important for folks to have a clear understanding that there are different causes to dandruff/itchy scalp, and that not all treatments work the same for every person. There are many different types of treatments and active ingredients that target different things, and it may take time to find the right one for you.I’m really happy that I feel like I have finally found the product that works for me. I have had chronic dandruff/itchy scalp *for years*. I used Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength for about a year, then Neutrogena T-Gel for the past year.T-Gel worked for the first few months but I started to get concerned about a month ago when I realized my scalp was getting oilier/itchier between washes more quickly. I also felt like I was drawing a connection between my hair thinning in parts of my scalp, increased hair falling out, with the T-Gel. I’ve been concerned with how much hair has been falling out for months, every time I shower and brush my hair.I did some research and found that dandruff can be caused by a yeast on the scalp. This specific shampoo has an active ingredient that seeks to kill that yeast. I believe this is similar to the Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength, but uses a different active ingredient.Positive impacts of this shampoo:- I have been using it for just 2 weeks and I am already seeing an improvement in the hair thinning/falling out. I have had *significantly* less hair falling out.- The itchiness is completely gone. I feel like the active ingredient is indeed targeting the yeast that causes the dandruff and is perhaps killing it (as it is formulated to do).- My hair is so shiny! It looks healthy, and my hair feels really clean. The Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo always left a residue on my hair that made it hard to feel fully “clean”. I love the way my scalp feels after a wash with this shampoo.Something that I am curious to see if it improves – my scalp is still very dry and flaky. It is not itchy, so I don’t have dandruff falling out of my hair, but when I pull my roots apart and look at my scalp, it is still very scaly and full of dead skin. I am not sure if this is because of the shampoo or because the yeast is dying and my skin is recovering. I purchased a scalp massager to help with this, and so am hoping to see improvements.

It works!
If you have dandruff buy this shampoo. This is the best results I’ve had using a dandruff shampoo. I have used it for over a week now and am noticing worlds of improvements. my scalp looks so much healthier and the maddening itching has essentially disappeared. usually I was going insane by day 3-4 from my wash and now I barely noticed I needed to wash my hair as my scalp felt so good! The smell is fine – typically “fresh” scent. I have cury/wavy hair and curls look great afterwards. Can’t say enough good stuff about it. I’m planning to keep up the use for 8 weeks then use as needed per the bottle recommends

Recommended by my dermatologist
She actually prescribed the 2% ketoconozol version. This isn’t meant for regular dry scalp issues. It’s meant for fungal and yeast issues on your scalp. When you have super thick hair or a-lot of hair, moisture can build up and linger causing scalp issues I clouding fungus. I’ve had this issue for years and didn’t know it. I tried everything I could get my hands on to get rid of it or control it but nothing worked. I went to a dermatologist for another issue and she gave me a head to toe once over to check for suspicious moles and said, you need something for your scalp. She explained that the prescription 2% ketaconozol along with a cream antifungal will help get rid of it but recommended the over the counter Nizoral for maintenance. One or twice a week keeps the itchy flaking away. I use it less in the winter when heat and sweat isn’t as much of an issue and more in the Summer for obvious reasons. It’s a plus that it smells good and there’s no chemical or mediciney smell.

Finally found something that works
Every winter I’ve had to deal with dandruff and my scalp and under my beard. Tried every kind of dandruff shampoo they sell at the stores with no luck. Decided to give this one a try, and to my surprise it actually works. For the first winter in I couldn’t tell you, I’m not scratching my head and it lookin like it’s snowing. Worth every penny of the price.

It WORKS
I have always had sccalp issues , especially with dandruff and it just being itchy . I have tried quite a few different shampoos and for the longest time, used H&S. I wanted to try something different because the ingredients weren’t the best so I bought Nizoral and Neutrogena T-scalp . [NEeutrogena just didnt seen to help my hair the way Nizoral does ] .I had used Nizoral for months and figured my scalp was better and stopped using it for 2 weeks and just didn’t feel like repurchasing it. By the second week ,my scalp was SO itchy and I had terrible dandruff. Like i couldn’t believe how bad my hair had got since not using this stuff for only2 weeks. I repurchased and within a couple days my hair finally got back to normal. I didn’t think my hair needed this shampoo, but boy was I wrong ! I now use it once a week to manage my scalp issues and it’s helped tremendously. It works better than any of the other brands I’ve tried and it doesn’t dry out my hair. I just couldn’t believe how much of a difference this stuff made when I stopped using it . I would recommend 100% if you have any type of scalp issue

Amazing for hair regrowth
I was losing my mind for awhile bc of weight loss related hair loss. I tried a few things including biotin supplements and minoxidil for about a year without my hair loss slowing down. I noticed within a week of using this shampoo that slightly less hair was collecting in the shower drain (versus literally a handful every time) and six months or so later – my hair is full of new baby hair growth!Not sure if this works for everyone or if the timing was just coincidental but I really do believe this helped me get my hair back. And it was also the least expensive and easiest of all the different things I tried.I haven’t used it again since running out of the first bottle but my hair regrowth is still going strong – would definitely try this again if I experienced hair loss again.Maybe worth trying if you also have sudden hair loss due to hormonal or weight changes.

Loving it!!
I used Nizoral shampoo many years ago. Then, it was no longer available – anywhere. So glad to have found it again. It worked great then and seems to work great now! In the winter, my scalp gets very dry and flaky. Using this shampoo stops that in its tracks.

Best I can get
It is one of the best on the market in fact it’s pretty much the only one that I’ve seen with this ingredient and if you want anything stronger you have to go to your doctor.

Good for itch/dandruff at least
Got as part of a hair regrowth regimen I’ve started a few months back. Can’t really speak to its stand alone effects for that as I use many things and it’s not like I’m testing my scalp dht or anything, however since puberty I’ve had a pretty itchy scalp in my balding areas as well as (super minor) dandruff both of which disappeared after the first wash which I didn’t really think about so pleasantly suprised there 👌
Works so well! –

Works so well!
This stuff is great! I had tried a ton of natural remedies for dandruff before finally giving in and I’m so glad this was the product I decided to go for. Flakiness and itchiness is noticeably diminished after just a single use! Game changer!!

Works best for me
Head and Shoulders does not do the job on my dry scalp. I use this with a scalp massager to get the shampoo into my scalp without scratching it too hard like it would if I used my nails. I work up a good lather, let it sit before I wash it out, and it clears up my dandruff. I won’t use anything else

Smells good. Keeps my hair light and fluffy similar to Aquage products. I have been using this 3-4 times per week for almost 3 months and my dandruff is nearly nonexistent. I used to notice “snowing” when I combed my hair or ran my fingers through it. Now, I don’t even notice.

Just what I needed!
This really helps with my dandruff. I only need to use it about once a week to keep the flakes and itchiness at bay. I will keep buying.

Has helped SO MUCH with dandruff
This is pricey but it’s the only thing that’s helped with my dandruff. After a few months of consistent use I have like 90% less and that has held up like that for the past few years.

Awesome product
I have fought dandruff for my whole life. Itchy scalp after about a half a day. Tried head and shoulders and t-gel with some relief. This product is outstanding though. The cost seems expensive, but it requires so little shampoo, that it is by far the cheapest shampoo I have bought. After one use, no flakes. It seems to last for three days before I have to wash it with this shampoo. I can use other cheap shampoo daily and this twice a week. I can’t tell you how much this has helped my self esteem. I use to constantly clean off my shoulders. I wouldn’t wear anything but light colors or white. Now I wear black without a worry. First use sold me on it.

The BEST
The only thing that works for my dandruff. I wish it was less expensive, but I literally tried every other dandruff product available to me, and this is the only one that works.

unbelievably good
Didn’t have dandruff in decades, but suddenly noticed that only few hours after showering it would be like avalanche when brushing my hair. After few weeks of it not going away decided to try something targeted.I swear, after ONE wash with Nizoral it was gone!I still use it once-twice a week to finish the bottle but the effect of even one application was drastic. Do not hesitate to try it.

Works
It’s rare to find a solution to a lifelong struggle. After a few uses I’m not seeing anymore dandruff. It’s crazy. Everyone’s scalp is different but this is worth a try.

Good overall
This didn’t hurt my dry scalp and I think it helped but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price. I’d definitely give it a try and I still use mine a lot just not sure if I’ll repurchase

It Works!
I’ve been desperately searching for something to help at least alleviate my dandruff and dry scalp. After reading the reviews I figured this could help some. After 5-6 uses, my scalp is 100% flake free. I usually wash my hair every 3-4 days, and even up until wash day, there are no flakes at all. I wear a black uniform for work and there’s 0 evidence I ever had a problem to begin with. As someone who has suffered for years, I wish I had found this sooner and could give this 10 stars.

The Only Brand That Works For Me
I’ve been using this anti-dandruff shampoo for going on 10 years now. Compared to your average daily shampoo, its a bit pricy, but worth every penny! I alternate using it with my normal shampoo, which helps it last a bit longer anyways. Its the ONLY anti-dandruff shampoo I’ve found that actually works for me, and keeps it away!

Works better then anything I’ve tried
This shampoo works better than anything else I’ve tried. From tgel to head and shoulders to blue. Used this for about a week straight and can’t see any dandruff now.

Works better than head and shoulders
This works for all of the girls in my family, as we all have thick hair. We only need to use this occasionally, maybe once a week, and it clears up the dandruff. An additional bonus, I love the way it smells!

My holy grail shampoo
I switched to this after using T-Sal for years and not seeing the results I wanted. This works much better and smells better. It isn’t drying. I’ve repurchased several times.

I could start a religion with this.
My whole effng life I had severe dandruff, nothing worked: shampoo for excess of oil nor for dry scalp, or head and shoulders, or Tgel which is basically tar in a bottle, even shaving to the point of almost hurting my skin, “resetting” it. Nothing worked. I had itchy head and beard, and always full of flaky stuff in my shoulders and in the chest below the beard. I would go to a barber shop and you would see the skin below the hair like patches of dandruff when they used the electric razor. Embarrassing. I accepted it like a fact of life. Until I got this. And I got it because someone said that even if it doesn’t work, smells great, and I was still using Tgel, that smells like dinosaurs rotting 65 million years. And voila. Just one use, gone. I was so surprised that i thought that was the combination. So i stopped using Tgel. Still works. No patches in the hair, no flaky stuff, no itchy beard. Gone. I could start a religion with this. Do yourself a favor and get it.

Finally, a non-prescription shampoo that works!
My brother and I often get oily hair and dandruff. Add on to the fact that we have curly/wavy hair (or hobbit hair as I like to call it) that needs to be washed in order to properly tame, it can get pretty trick to find good products. None of the typical commercial brands worked, and the one shampoo that did was prescribed by a dermatologist that we stopped using as often once our insurance no longer paid for it.This shampoo has been a great addition to our shower now, not just tackling the dandruff but cleaning and moisturizing the hair as well, so no need for a second shampoo. All in and, this is a great purchase if you wanna stop seeing snowflakes when there’s no snow10/10

Great success
I’ve had great success with this product in comparison to selenium sulfide 1% ( Selsum ) Within 5 uses I’ve noticed a massive improvement with my scalp health and overall reduction of dead skin cells. I’m really pleased with this product and would highly recommend to anyone with mild dandruff.

Only thing that works!
So many products do not work for me. Some work but only for a day or two. This product is the best for me by far. Not a single flake in 4 days lol

It works!
I’ve struggled with dandruff since I was a kid. I’ve tried multiple shampoos, including Head & Shoulders, but nothing seems to work. After 3x of using this shampoo (I use it 2x/wk and leave it for abt 3 mins per direction), my dandruff and itchiness is gone!

Good for winter season
I live in a cold state and am a swimmer so my scalp is sometimes sensitive to the extra chlorinated water. This shampoo has been a game changer. It has helped me with my scalp tremendously. I use this 2x a week. Had bought a way more expensive one from Sephora but this is way lower in cost and better!

Works at first
Had been struggling for months with itchy scalp and dandruff and when I bought this, it immediately cleared up for a month or so. After that, it started not being as effective and it probably has to do with the right combination of other shampoos, since this one really dries out your hair and scalp if you don’t use a hydrating shampoo. Also, everyone is different and it probably just isn’t the right product for me, but there definitely is something to this shampoo that can soothe those itchy symptoms.

I was sceptical..
I have had chronic dandruff for near 14 years. I have been using head and shoulders, that have been keeping the flakes and dryness down but not fixing the problem. Im tired of having an itchy and flaky scalp. Tired of having specs on my black clothes. Tired of having flakes in my eyebrows and eye lashes.I came across this and gave it a shot. I have used it 1 time So far, about 2 days ago. Huge difference. My head has not felt itchy since. Barely any flakes i have noticed, other than what might have not been washed completely out yet. Im not afraid to take my hat off to stroll my hands through my hair to rearrange hoping not to show flakes.I used a tiny amount of shampoo, about a quarter size lay in my hand. I thuroughly scrubbed. Let set for a min or 2, just long enough to wash the body, then rinse. Huge difference.Its worth a shot if you have dandruff.

Best shampoo for serious flaky scalp ! And doesnt dry your hair!
I am so happy with this purchase! I was having serious flaky dandruff and nothing worked ! So bad I was itching and I even had scabs it was awful ! Before I used a neutrogena shampoo but the smell was awful so after doing research this looked like a great option and so happy I bought this shampoo ! It did not dry my hair at all ! And plus I have a clean healthy scalp now im so happy ! I was seriously considering seeing a dermatologist because it was driving my crazy ! But im happy now that I found a solution !

Works Like a Charm
I have used this product on and off, and I can honestly say that it works more quickly and more effectively than any other dandruff shampoo I have used before, which includes all of the big name brands, with regular use of this shampoo, I noticed a HUGE difference within a couple of weeks, and a side note, I have had issues with other brands burning my skin (not badly) but they just all had something in them that caused an uncomfortable burning sensation, this brand had no negative effects like that whatsoever, which for me justifies using this brand over the others as well.

REALLY WORKS
I was dealing with a really dry, itchy scalp for a few months. Tried head and shoulders, crew tea-tree oil, and a one other shampoo I cannot remember the name of and they didn’t work. I literally used this 2 times (used 2 days in a row even though the directions say to use it every 3-4 days) and my dandruff was pretty much gone. Now, obviously, it did not get every single skin flake but I would say 90% and its been getting better ever since. This stuff works.To Nizoral, make a few more scents please. This one was good but I’d love a few others.

The Best I Ever Bought!
I’m sure body chemistry, environment and causes of dandruff differ from one person to the next but this stuff, for me anyway, is the first dandruff shampoo I ever used that is 100% effective. It even cleared up some minor scaling issues I had on my forehead and between my hairline and ears. Been battling these issues for decades and for me, the battle is over!
100% wouldn’t recommend. They come in a small ass box so every flower and leave is squished together. They look terrible –

Actually works!
So I ordered this product along with the scalp relief tea tree leave in spray & they both work so well together! I wish I had before and after pics but it didn’t even cross my mind because usually products I buy never help. lol I have a REALLY dry scalp to the point where I’d avoid wearing black because of how flaky my scalp was; even wore my hair in a bun almost everyday because my scalp was sooo bad when it came to flaking and peeling. I’ve used both products consistently for a month now, I wash my hair everyday 3-4 days and since then I have absolutely no dandruff or dry scalp. I can wear black without worrying about flaking/dry skin all over my clothes. I highly recommend trying both together! I haven’t tried one before the other I started out using both based on someone else’s review on this product and life changing. I’m so glad I listened to her and actually tried both.

Great shampoo for dryness
This shampoo is great for dry scalp. I love that I can purchase this without having to go to a dermatologist for a prescription. This shampoo worked immediately and I only have to use it once a week at the most to keep my scalp from flaking with dryness. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a dry scalp.

Best thing I’ve bought
I bought this after seeing a insta video. I have tried it all..head and shoulders, selsun blue, shampoo with and without parabins, oil treatments. But non of them lasted or worked. I’m finally dandruff free and my hair is the healthiest it’s been. I also love that you don’t have to use a lot and twice weekly is all it takes. Highly recommend

Perfect for Dry Scalp in the Winter
My scalp usually has pretty good skin but in the winter it might as well be a raisin; crisps right up like an egg on the sidewalk in Florida. Thankfully this shampoo helps me on those days when the only flakes I want to see are from the sky, not my own head. This bottle doesn’t look too big but it lasts a really long time. A little dollop will go a long way, plus it smells really good! I use it about once a month even in the summer time just to keep the flakes at bay and I haven’t had any issues like I used to!! Will definitely restock whenever this bottle runs out!

Dry scalp who!?!?
This shampoo has saved me! I’ve been looking for a shampoo to combat my severe dry scalp and came across this brand. I’m so happy I did! It strips the dry skin right out! Make sure to deeply moisturize after using this shampoo though, it’s super effective and your scalp is going to need moisturizer and oils after but it definitely gets the job done
