    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.

    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!

    i saw this on tiktok and thought i would give it a try bc i couldn’t find ANYTHING that would get rid of my dandruff. i had already tried the Nizoral for dandruff (blue label) and the one for psoriasis (green label) over the past few months & though they did work a bit at first it didn’t make the dandruff go away completely and it would just flare up again. this shampoo has worked wonders but it did take about a weeks worth of hair washes in order to do so. i would say after using it 3x the results were obvious and it’s just gotten better the more i’ve used it. best thing about it is the price compared to the other shampoos i mentioned which range from about $12-$18.
