Thanks to menopause, I have started dealing with eczema and flaming on my scalp. I rotate this shampoo along with another treatment and so far things are perfect. Just remember that you won't get immediate results, it took me about a week before my flakes, itching and redness went away.

I had high hopes for this Dove dandruff shampoo. I loved the price point, and the smell was great. I have a dry itchy scalp and pyrithione zinc shampoos work for me, but this one just made my hair greasy and only took the edge off the itch. I passed it on to my son in hopes that it would work for him, but it just made his hair greasy too.

The formula has changed with the re-branding of the bottle. Leaves my scalp with visable dry spots, flakey, and gives my hair a weird texture. It never did this before and I was a user of this shampoo for around 10 years. VERY DISAPPOINTED, now I need to find an alternative shampoo.

I’ve used the Dove Anit-Dandruff Shampoo for probably 10 years and was very satisfied with it until now. With the new bottle release in 2025 something is definitely different with the formula. I struggle with eczema on my scalp and it was the best shampoo I had found for me. With the new formula my hair texture feels weird, I’ve got dry patches on my scalp, and some flaking. Time to look for a new brand of shampoo.

Formula changed. They say it didn't but the order of the ingredients changed which means there are different measurements of the ingredients. No longer works for dry scalp. Will be looking for an alternative.

This product does exactly what it claims - within a month of using it my scalp has zero flakes and isn’t itchy. The scent is also very mild and smells nice, which is an added bonus. My hair looks healthy and my scalp feels great, it’s a win win.

I’m so glad they changed their containers. The old ones gets moldy I have it on the side of my tub so it gets showered on and it accumulates water. I love this Product so much as you can see My container is empty. it’s the only thing that helped me with dandruff and dry scalp. I have tried a dozen of other stuff this was a miracle. Especially when it’s winter that’s when it gets worse but now not a single flake on my head. I stand by it.

I’ve tried so many different products for dry, irritated scalp (shampoos, serums), but this one really worked for me. Can’t remember the last time I was itching or saw flakes! Noticed a difference within a month or so of use. I also use the conditioner as well as a product once a week to remove scalp build up. I have used products with a much higher price point that did not deliver. Super happy with this one!

My scalp/hair started to freak out. I thought it was my water—switched that. Then I went through about 10 different shampoos (in a span of 2 years) before finding this one. This. Immediately. Changed. My. Life. Not to be dramatic but I will only buy this shampoo It changed design so I’m really hoping that the formula didn’t change

for reference i have thin, medium density, high porosity 3b/3c curls. ever since i started straightening my hair more, i’ve become way more prone to build up as well as gotten many scalp patches and flakes. i knew i needed to switch my moisturizing shampoo to something w a bit more cleanse in it. the scalp itchiness and flakes were my biggest concern. this shampoo didn’t leave my hair with that squeaky dry cleaning at all. it actually left my hair so soft yet clean. not overly mushy either. my hair felt clean, soft and strong. i love the lather as well !! it’s so easy to spread around the scalp. i noticed no itching or burning. my scalp just felt soothed and fresh, like it can breathe again. i checked for any flakes or build up after and i saw none. no frizz, matting, or knotting either like some more cleansing shampoos can do. definitely an amazing option for those suffering from scalp issues (: for sure gonna keep using this one

I don't have dandruff, but I purchased this shampoo (and the matching conditioner) because in winter, I have a very dry and itchy scalp and was looking for something that might help. These Dove products not only relieve my scalp dryness and itching, but as a surprise bonus, they make my har look fantastic--easy to comb, smooth, soft, and shiny. They also have a fantastic scent. I didn't think I'd find something so great at this price point. I'll be buying these products from now on for year-round use!

Can’t believe how well this works! This shampoo completely took care of flakes and itch in 3 washes (with good results even after the first). Works great for my fine straight hair—not greasy or drying. Just wish there was a fragrance free version.
