Amezing

I've used a bunch of dandruff shampoos over the years. This is the latest promising option that isn't excessively expensive and works well enough. I use it about once every other day or two. Too much washing messes with my hair balance but I find if I am active outside, that's less of a concern but I still tend to alternate between this and a less intense shampoo. It has a very light scent out of the bottle, somewhat citrusy. Feels more like a medium-thick lotion than typical sticky shampoo. I apply, let it sit a little bit, then rinse and apply conditioner. From what I can tell, my scalp is less red and itchy and flakes very much reduced. Patches are gone, hair is soft, and I don't need to worry about everyday snow. It may cost more than say Head & Shoulders but I do think it's worth it. But everyone is different so what works for me may not work as well for someone else. As of this review posting, I am almost done with one bottle and have a second ready on hand. Sometimes product ingredients change especially when newly launched (I think my first bottle was the first launch cycle) so should I notice a change in efficacy, I will update this review.

I had developed some annoying dandruff in my early 30s and I hated it. I would use a scalp exfoliator brush every time I washed my hair, and used a scalp treatment serum once a week but the dandruff kept coming back, and the itchiness on my scalp was getting frustrating. I was wondering if it was caused by my dry shampoo, or if I needed to not use any scented hair products, or if I needed to wash my hair more often, but I honestly didn’t want to change any of that. So I tried this. I’ve been using this (and the dandruff conditioner) for 2 months now and now I don’t have even a hint of dandruff. It works so well! It also makes my hair crazy soft and moisturized. There’s not really any smell, which I’m okay with because I always use a detangler and ends product after the shower that have a good smell. I will be using this forever, pretty sure.

If you struggle with dandruff but hate how most medicated shampoos dry out your scalp, this one is worth trying. The 1% pyrithione zinc handles flakes and itchiness, while the ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid keep the scalp moisturized and balanced. It’s sulfate‑free, so the lather is mild, but it still cleans well. With consistent use, both flakes and redness noticeably decrease. Great for sensitive scalps or anyone who wants treatment without the “medicated shampoo” feel. This is absolutely one of my new favorites!

Works well. Did have to use for about 3 weeks before I really saw a significant improvement. However, I am using regularly and dandruff is under control now.

I bought this CeraVe Hydrating Anti Dandruff Shampoo for my mother who has suddenly began getting white flakes in her hair, which were significantly more noticeable after washing. We had tried the more popular Head & Shoulders brand, but it didn't seem to have any effect on getting rid of the flakes. So, once the bottle was just about empty, I decided to search for a gentleman, yet (hopefully) effective different brand of anti-dandruff shampoo. That's when I came across the CeraVe brand. I've always had great results with their skincare products, the price was great, and it got really positive reviews. I also liked that it was paraben, phalate, and fragrance free. So, I helped her wash her hair a few days ago and those itchy flakes just disappeared like magic!! I'm pretty sure that both shampoos have the same active ingredient, however the H&D was full of fragrance and could have been contributing to the irritation of her scalp. This shampoo was creamy, easy to get into a nice sudsy (but not too sudsy) lather and it rinsed completely out of her hair. There was no flaking noticeable afterwards and her naturally soft, curls were beautiful. Thank you, CeraVe for an affordable and effective product to take care of a mild to moderate case of dandruff. Will definitely be repurchasing.
