submitted by RealCABlonde - 10 days ago

Unlike many clarifying shampoos that are clear, this product is designed for gentle hydration, which is reflected in its milky, creamy texture. he creamy appearance is due to ingredients like Glycol Distearate (an opacifying agent) and the inclusion of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, which are designed to soothe and hydrate the scalp's moisture barrier. We hope this information is helpful and you will try our products soon!

    As a Mom and a HairDresser I recommend CeraVe!

    As a Mom + HairDresser of many years, I am picky about what goes on my daughter’s hair. Her hair is long and I need something that detangles, hydrates and doesn’t irritate her scalp. CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner has been such a good everyday go to because it’s super gentle, fragrance free and keeps her hair soft without weighing it down.

    Nice shampoo and conditioner combo

    Used the shampoo + conditioner on my 14-year-old who suffers from eczema and has dreads, and it actually helped with the dryness a lot. His scalp usually has a lot of itching and gets irritated easily, but this left his hair feeling clean and moisturized without buildup in his locs. Definitely a good option for sensitive scalps and eczema-prone skin. 💧 It added so much shine as well. Packaging was nice and products were secured . #CeraVe #EczemaRelief #LocCare #Dreadlocks #TeenHairCare #SensitiveScalp #HairCareReview #NaturalHairCare

    DO NOT BUY

    The hair fall with this is absolutely horrible, stopped using and hair fall was minimal, but normal, used again and hair fall was awful again. This needs to be pulled off the shelves!

    Impressed!

    I love CeraVe products, so I was excited to try their new shampoo and conditioner. It doesn’t really have any scent to it. It lathers well and feels light. I’ve been using it for over a month now and honestly it’s my favorite shampoo and conditioner I’ve tried in a while. My hair actually feels healthier. I’d highly recommend CeraVe Gentle Hydrating shampoo and conditioner to all!

    Lightweight, hydrating, and leaves hair soft and h

    I received this product as a gift from Influenster, I tried it and I genuinely loved it. I already love CeraVe products in general, and this shampoo and conditioner are really amazing. The packaging is simple and practical, and I like how easy it is to use. There is no strong or noticeable scent, which I actually like because it feels very clean and gentle. In terms of cleansing, it leaves the hair feeling fresh and clean without any buildup or residue. It also helps keep the hair hydrated, smooth, and more manageable, with less frizz after washing. Overall, it made the hair look healthy, soft, and well cared for.

    Fragrance-free & gentle on my scalp-perfect for ev

    I really love their gentle hydrating shampoo along with their conditioner. I love that it's fragrance-free which is important to me when my scalp feels sensitive and irritated. It lathers up really well. My hair feels so soft and hydrated after the wash without it being weighed down, and I don't need to use extra products to get that smooth finish. Definitely a solid option for everyday use or those with sensitive scalps.

    Deep hydration and lovely scent for healthier hair

    The ceraVe duo is incredible for daily hydration I love that the packaging is super functional and the product offers real value: it leaves hair soft. Manageable, and smelling is absolutely lovely. And without irritating the scalp. It’s the ideal choice if you’re for a gentle, effective formula with dermatological quality

    It doesn’t leave dryness or cause irritation

    I've been using both the CeraVe Shampoo and Conditioner together, and I'm really impressed with how well they work as a duo. The shampoo cleans my hair thoroughly without stripping it, leaving my scalp feeling fresh and comfortable. It has a light, clean feel and doesn't cause any dryness or irritation. The conditioner complements it perfectly it leaves my hair soft, smooth, and easy to manage without feeling heavy. I've noticed less frizz and overall my hair feels more hydrated and healthier after each wash. What I like most is how gentle yet effective both products are. They're simple, reliable, and great for regular use, especially if you're looking for something that takes care of both your hair and scalp without being too harsh it removes build ups and give your hair volume and you don’t need a lot just a small amount and your hair still gets a good coverage.
