Head and Shoulders Clinical Strength Dandruff Shampoo, 13.5 fl oz

Product Information

But it's not just a pretty scent—this formula has all the same dandruff-fighting powers as the other shampoos on our list, thanks to a combo of antifungal pyrithione zinc and exfoliating salicylic acid. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. If you’re not sure whether you have a tough case of dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, a powerful dandruff shampoo is a good place to start. Dandruff and excess oil go hand in hand, which means scalp breakouts and bumps are also present in people who have dandruff as well.

Over the years, I've learned that the best way to deal with an itchy, flaky, and/or dry scalp is by using a dedicated dandruff shampoo.For more information on our use of your personal information and your rights, see our Privacy Policy. I keep this shampoo in my shower at all times and suds up with it once a month for ~maintenance~ now that my dandruff symptoms have mostly subsided. We recommend that you read labels, warnings and directions of all products before use and not rely solely on the information provided by iHerb.

You will need a shampoo that contains the right active ingredients and that doesn’t leave your hair dry or smelling medicated.

I just needed to come here and say, yes, it’s expensive, but holy heck I feel so much better knowing after just one wash my issue was resolved. But this one from Alevai actually moisturized my hair with a mix of argan oil, coconut oil, and biotin—all while also getting rid of my flakes and itch with 2 percent pyrithione zinc. The formula incorporates a mix of plant extracts, like soothing aloe vera and chamomile, along with anti-inflammatory tea tree oil to help relieve some of the irritation that comes with dandruff—plus it's got 2 percent salicylic acid to nix flakes and dead skin.People with particularly high oil production might be more likely to suffer from seborrheic dermatitis too, as more oleic acid is produced from the sebum.

No, the scent isn’t exactly awesome while you’re massaging it into your scalp, but it dissipates quickly once your hair is dry, so it’s not a deal-breaker for most. I keep coming back to it as it’s my current staple for someone with curly hair and a super dry scalp.

So every other week, sometimes as a precaution, I’ll suds up with Briogeo’s dandruff shampoo, which uses a mix of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and charcoal powder to gently exfoliate buildup, excess oils, and dead skin cells. After a month of once-weekly use, I had fewer bumps on my scalp, and I felt like I didn’t need to wash my hair as frequently—a dream for anyone with greasy scalp IMO. If you’re suffering from dandruff that seems worse than usual, you might actually have seborrheic dermatitis.I’ve suffered with seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp for absolute years and have always been able to manage flare ups until recently.
