This is the only product that helps my scalp. I can't find it anywhere anymore and my scalp is worse than ever now. Please bring it back.

Out of stock everywhere ☹️
This shampoo has been game changer for my son who is allergic to numerous chemicals. We can't find it anywhere to purchase now! Will it be back in stock? It's so hard to find products our son isn't allergic to!

Better than prescribed shampoo
It’s extremely helpful for scalp irritation. After using this you need to moisturize your hair/scalp with something gentle like pure aloevera

Lifesaver for sensitve skin, fragrance allergies, and sebderm
This is one of my what-would-i-do-without-you products. I have stupidly sensitive skin with flares of seborrheic dermatitis and this seems to minimize flares in terms of frequency, duration, and severity! I switched to this shampoo when the Vanicream Z-bar was backordered for like 2 years, and now this is frequently out of stock as well.

Very drying product
Not for natural curly dry hair. This is very drying. Makes your hair feel like straw. My husband tried it too and he did not like it at all as it was drying to him as well. Dermatologist recommend this but I would never recommend this to anyone with dry hair or an issue caused by another shampoo.

This USED to be my shampoo until i spoke to the manufacturer.
I have severe immune allergies & cant use regular shampoo because of benzenes, hidden ingrediens in fragrances, & quats. This has been my shampoo for the past year paying this high price for 8oz but i spoke with the manufacturer & they weren’t very kind in keeping their product available on platforms like here at target where i could afford it & not get ripped off. The company wants a high shipping charge & i felt like i wasnt being treated fairly. Target is the only place where ill buy Vanicream dandruff shampoo for $10-$12 which is all i can afford! It wasnt available conveniently & consistently enough for me to ever buy this product again. I have since switched to a wholesale supply that makes a base i can use. Im done waisting my money on this. 8oz was also never enough. I would have paid $15 for a 24oz bottle but the manufacturer chose inflation & to pull their product to only be available on their site so they could charge high shipping fees. I will no longer be supporting vanicreams ethics. Taking advantage of my desperate need for necessities.

10/10 I rebuy in multiples to always have it on hand
This is the best dandruff shampoo imo. My scalp is so sensitive and I love that this product is fragrance free. I have zero irritation and it’s completely fixed my dandruff issue, it’s 100% gone. I wouldn’t recommend for color treated hair, it’s pretty much wipes out color and toner, and I agree it’s also not hydrating. However I’ve paired this with a heavier redken conditioner to fix the hydration issue and as for the color it is what it is unfortunately. I’d rather get my hair done a few extra times a year than deal with an itchy flakey scalp.

It works!
This is the only dandruff medicated shampoo that actually works on my scalp. It is also sensitive enough to not cause other irritations so no itching, no flakes, no nothing just healthy looking scalp and hair. I don't know what is going on with the lack of availability but please no not ever discontinue this product! This product helps me keep my Seborrheic Dermatitis under control!

Dandruff Free
I have been using this product for a while recommended by a dermatologist. It is hard to find here in Houston Texas and way better than the other product.

Straw
Unfortunately like a few others have experienced, this turned my hair to straw after one use. I only used it on my scalp, but obviously you can’t avoid it rinsing down the rest of your hair. I’m really bummed!

Clears the flakes away
This is the only dandruff shampoo that has actually cleared my seborrheic dermatitis. I also have a patch of psoriasis that flares up from time to time and this helps calm it down. Would recommend if your scalp is struggling!
