Small Bottle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t know that CeraVe made shampoo and conditioner, but now that I’ve tried it, I like it! My hair isn’t super oily— if anything, it’s more on the dry side, so I found that using both at the same time was too much on my hair. I prefer using the shampoo and following it with a different conditioner. My partner, however, has used both, and really liked it. i feel as though there is not enough product, especially for those who have thicker hair.

Trusted brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Regular user of Cerave brand. This was my first time trying this shampoo and it did disappoint. The hair quality seems good after washing. The later was great and it was easy to clean with no residue. The shampoo size is perfect.

Its ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo is a good shampoo if your hair gets oily very soon. If your hair doesn’t get oily fast I suggest you use it only once a week depending on your har because it can dry it out if you use it daily or to may time. But I found if I used it at least once a week it cleaned my hair well and didn’t dry it out. My son may the mistake of using it everyday and it dried his hair so much. I don’t think i would purchase this shampoo for my specific hair type but my work well for others.

Cleansing shampoo that extends washes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically have a pretty strict regimen of a double cleanse when it comes to shampoos and have a favorite cleansing shampoo, which is the RYO space cleansing shampoo. That being said, this one was nearly as good. It felt like it helped extend the time in between washes, especially a someone with an oily scalp. I also appreciated that there was no sense and that this would be friendly for those with sensitive scalp skin.

Squeaky clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The texture is soft and smooth. It cleans so well and you can tell by the squeaky feel on your scalp. It leaves no residue when rinsing off. This is definitly worth getting for with that value!

Nice, good shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It gives my hair good volume. I would’ve liked more if it had smell. It foams up nicely. Cleans my scalp pretty well. CeraVe preforms the shampoo very well.

Helps control excess oil while keeping hair clean,

I had a great experience trying the Cera ve Oil control balancing shampoo.one of the first things I noticed was the light texture and how easily it lathers in the hair.It cleans the scalp very well without making my hair feel dry or stripped.After using it for several washes,my hair felt fresh ,clean and noticeable less oily throughout the day

Love this shampoo

I love this shampoo! I can finally stop washing my hair every day because it looks oily. I also love that it barely has a scent and what you do smell is clean hair.

not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would say that the shampoo is not my favorite. I have very oily hair and after multiple uses i don’t see a difference. I gave it multiple attempts I just personally didn’t enjoy the product but it is affordable

Better suited for drier hair types

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To start off I have combination hair type. Greasy roots and dry ends. I think the shampoo did a good job at cleansing my scalp and it did feel very hydrated afterwards. I was a bit scared that it had niacinamide since my face is sensitive to it, but luckily I had no reactions in my scalp!Although, I did find my hair to got greasier a lot more quicker than usual, so I won’t be using this one much. I had high hopes because I thought this would be the product for my hair type, but I do find that it might be too heavy for my hair thus making it more greasier quicker. I will say my hair feels a lot softer when I use it. So if you have a similar hair type as mind do b mindful of that. Different hair types react differently, but it’s overall a good product and i recommend it to people who may have drier hair.

Double wash

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this CeraVe oil control balancing shampoo because I have oily scalp. My hair got oily pretty easy and especially living in the South, it gets oily fast. However I was a bit disappointed cause the cleanliness didn’t last very long. The shampoo did get rid of the oil but I still do double wash like usual.
