This shampoo is amazing. It removed the flakes and left my scalp feeling truly soothed. Other popular brands tend to be quite drying. Cerave's shampoo has a creamy, lotion like texture, I was surprised to find that it lathered well with a modest amount of product applied to thick African American hair. And the smell is fine for a fragrance-free product. This is a winner for me. I hope you all continue to produce it!

Changed my life!
Cerave, I am begging you to never discontinue the hydrating shampoo and conditioner! I have suffered with itchy scalp due to fragrances and drying ingredients and this brand has changed my hair and my life. I have substantially less itchiness. I thought I’d miss the fragrance, but I don’t. I believe it will just continue to get better. My fine hair is so soft and the damaged ends growing out are much less frizzy. They actually look healthy! I’m on a journey to have a healthy scalp and healthy hair, and I have finally found the solution!

Regret that pick up order
Waited forever at the pick up lanes Order was wrong. Poor worker had to go in and pull correct items from shelf. It was longer to go to customer service counter, one employee and a long line.

Greast hair quickly
I usually like this brand, but this shampoo does not work for me. My hair feels greasy later in the day. Typically I can go a few days between washing my hair and maybe using dry shampoo…with this shampoo I need dry shampoo that night! Do not recommend.

Excellent except bottle.
The product is the best anti-dandruff shampoo I’ve ever used. It would 5 stars if it wasn’t for the container. The container makes it hard to dispense the amount you want. It’s like a ketchup bottle. You keep trying to coax a little out, but then too much comes out. And it leaves a mess at the top of the container that is hard to clean off.

It’s ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Shampoo works well at reducing flakes and itching without drying out the scalp. The formula feels gentle and leaves hair clean, though the scent and lather could be better. Solid 4-star option.

Hair loss
How is this product still available? I started noticing bald spots and this is the only product I've changed in my hair care products. I thought something was wrong with my health. But I looked more into this shampoo and people having the same problem. This should be recalled immediately, I can't believe a shampoo could cause hair loss like this.

Great!
An excellent product! I use the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner and it works perfectly for my curly hair. Cleans without drying it out and I just follow it with a leave in. Thank you for formulating this for all sensitive skin types.

Extreme hair loss!
Huge huge increase in hair loss a few months after using this regularly. This was not natural hair loss or hair loss due to stress, diet or "gracefully aging" this was hair loss due to this Cerave shampoo. I would use extreme caution!!

Hello Indya! We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with our Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo and the distressing increase in hair loss you've observed a few months after regular use. We understand your concern and conviction that this was directly related to the shampoo, and we sincerely regret any distress this has caused you. Based on many years of experience and all available technical resources, we have no reason to believe that our Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo can cause hair loss. We understand that experiencing hair loss can be very alarming, and it's important to remember that hair loss can be influenced by a variety of factors such as illness, medication, lack of sufficient vitamins, diet, and stress. We also naturally experience an increasing loss of hair as we age, and conditions like male pattern hair loss and androgenic alopecia are considered to be hereditary. It's estimated the average head has between 90,000 and 140,000 hairs, and normally, we lose about 40-100 hairs a day. Given your experience of a sudden and unusual amount of hair loss, we strongly suggest you consult your physician, as only a medical professional is qualified to accurately diagnose and advise you on the specific cause of your hair loss. Your health and well-being are of utmost importance to us, and we thank you for sharing your experience.

Be aware of the irritation for your scalp!
I have stopped with anti dandruff shampoo for a while and I just use this shampoo again. The very next day, part of my scalp started gettting inflammation and acne . This has been going for a week, inflammation has gone but acnes still there. My husband told me his back skin got irritated just from the run down of the shampoo after using it as well.

hair loss and burning
Be careful! I would say do a patch test first but like others are saying on here, it took about half of the bottle before I developed burning patches on my scalp that itched so bad and my hair started falling out!!!

Hair loss
Makes my hair fall out
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 3 months ago
Hello Kathryn! Thank you for reaching out with your concern about hair loss. We understand how distressing and personal an issue this can be, and we want to assure you that, based on our extensive research and many years of experience, we have no reason to believe that our Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo contributes to hair loss. Hair shedding is a natural part of life, and it's quite common to lose between 40 to 100 hairs daily from an average head of 90,000 to 140,000 strands. However, hair loss itself can stem from a wide variety of factors. These can include medical conditions, certain medications, nutritional deficiencies, dietary habits, and even periods of stress. As we gracefully age, it's also natural to experience some thinning. Additionally, conditions like male pattern hair loss and androgenic alopecia are often hereditary. Should you notice a sudden or unusual increase in hair loss, we genuinely recommend consulting with your physician. A medical professional is best equipped to offer a proper diagnosis and provide you with personalized advice and guidance.
