My new favorite conditioner
Well, it's finally happened. After 38 years on this planet, for most of which I have had hair, I've finally found my holy grail shampoo and conditioner. I have been using CeraVe products on my face and skin for many years, so I was fairly certain the shampoo and conditioner would work for me. The price is so affordable that it wasn't much of a risk if they didn't. I've been using them daily for close to a month now. I have fine, straight hair, and my hair feels soft and clean after every wash. But best of all, I've actually seen a significant decrease in the amount of hair that I shed in the shower. I also was dealing with some scalp dryness and irritation, and have felt like those are improving, too. I'll have to ask my hair stylist next week at my appointment if she notices a difference. I appreciate that there is no scent or fragrance in this product. I think that has been a big reason why I'm seeing less shedding and scalp irritation, and it's great to be able to wear my favorite perfume and not have it clash with or be overpowered by any lingering smell from my hair product.

Amazing for detangaling
Amazing! I love how mostorizer my hair is when i use this. My hair is naturally dry and my hair strands are fine and curly. The shampoo and conditioner make it easy to comb out my hair and it really hydrates and mostorizes my hair with out weighing it down. I also got a lot of compliments on my hair after switching over to these products

Thank you from the scent sensitive community!
Finally a quality shampoo and conditioner without scent but with silicone for smooth hair! My hair is platinum blonde and I absolutely love both the shampoo and conditioner. It makes my hair feel like I've drenched it in nourishing facial moisturizer! Thank you for making something that finally works for scent sensitive individuals! There are so many of us and no options out there! Please make a deep conditioner or a leave in treatment!

(no review title)
I break out in full body hives to common preservatives that are also sensitizers (benzyl and methylisothiazolinone, BIT and MIT on bottles). Not fun!! These are common in many shampoos and most conditioners, and the worst, many laundry detergents (including 7th generation free and clear, which I learned the hard way!!) This is by far the best conditioner I've found that is free of these compounds. My one recommendation is it really needs a packaging change, it looks FAR too similar to the moisturizing cream tube. I have managed to pack the tube of hand cream instead of conditioner on more than one trip already, and gotten two days into trying to figure out what was wrong with the water that my hair was being so weird... (This hair conditioner is GREAT but their wonderful moisturizing cream is NOT a good hair conditioner, again, speaking from experience unfortunately!!). I wonder how many of the poor reviews are from other people who made this swap by accident!!

Made my hair super soft
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The conditioner made my very soft. It smells very clean. I leave it in for a few minutes in the shower to make sure I get the full effect of the softness in my hair and also made my hair less tangled.

A Daily Hydration Hero for Fine or Sensitive Hair
This Gentle Hydrating Conditioner is an excellent choice for anyone seeking moisture without weight or irritation. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, detangling hair effortlessly without leaving a greasy or heavy residue behind. I've found it particularly perfect for fine hair that is easily weighed down, as well as for sensitive scalps, as it is free of common irritants calgaryprayertimes.com and has a very subtle, clean fragrance. The hydration it provides is noticeable yet soft, leaving hair feeling smooth, manageable, and with a healthy shine. It doesn't offer the intense, deep conditioning that severely damaged hair might need, but it excels as a reliable daily or every-other-day conditioner. For its purpose providing gentle, consistent moisture, it performs flawlessly and has become a staple in my routine.

Horrible. Brittle and sticky hair
This shampoo and conditioner hair was probably the most stripping set I have ever used. It made my hair somehow brittle and sticky at the same, and left an irritating coating on my scalp. My hair tangled like a i’ve never experienced before. I had to shampoo twice with a clarifying shampoo to get rid of it. Extremely disappointing, as I love and have used Cerave lotion for years now.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
Hello california_girl! We are truly sorry to hear about your extremely disappointing experience with our Gentle Hydrating Conditioner. It is disheartening to learn that a product from our line, which you have trusted for years with our lotions, performed so poorly for your hair and scalp. We certainly do not intend for our conditioner to leave your hair feeling stripped, brittle, or sticky, nor to cause tangling or an irritating coating on your scalp. Your description of having to use a clarifying shampoo twice to remove the residue is a significant concern for us, and we would like to speak to you directly about it. Please give us a call at 888-768-2915 M-F 9:00 am – 5:30 pm ET for assistance and provide the reference #43377201. We look forward to speaking with you!

The smell caused migraines for me.
PROS: Make my hair silky smooth. Doesn't cause contact dermatitis nor blepharitis, which so many other products do for me. Doesn't cause hair breakage. CONS: HORRIBLE, strong, nauseating smell. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was, since it claims to be "frangrance free." After doing some research, the smelly culprit is behentromonium methosulfate which is a cationic emulsifer. (Thanks, AI. I put the ingredients into AI, then asked which, if any ingredients could cause a smell that would trigger migraines, which this product did for me every time I used it. The AI came back with the behentromonium methosulfate. Then I did a search of FB and Reddit and, sure enough, others have noted a "disgusting cat breath smell" from not only the conditioner, but other CereVe products. And the smell does not dissipate with time; 8 hours after rinsing it thoroughly from my hair, my hair still REEKED.

Simple & Works Great
I really am enjoying this conditioner. It’s simple no-frills and it works good. Makes my hair feel soft and clean. The only thing that I can think of is thats negative is that it’s not very big and I have long hair so it’s not gonna last very long. If they could make it in a bigger container would be nice.

Disappointed
Not the worst conditioner I've ever tried, but not good either. My scalp feels nice and calm after using it, but does NOTHING positive for my hair. I've been using CeraVe face products for years, but they definitely need to put a lot more research and testing into their hair products.

Heavy Silicones in Product
I have eczema, allergies and sensitive skin and love CeraVe products for skincare. I was super stoked to see that they started a haircare line because I've struggled to find fragrance free products that actually work, don't trigger allergies/eczema and are affordable. Unfortunately after trying the shampoo and conditioner I was shocked to notice my hair feeling like a Barbie doll's- plastic, heavy and easily tangled. Discovered that both products have heavy, non-water-based silicones which are terrible for hair and scalp, causing buildup and sometimes scalp irritation over time, as well as locking moisture out of hair and making hair brittle. Guess it's back to my never-ending search. Why does CeraVe think I want silicones in my haircare products? I thought I could trust CeraVe and not read through the ingredients list but I guess that was naive.

Hello there. Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Gentle Hydrating Conditioner. We’re sorry the formula didn’t work for your hair and scalp needs.
