My scalp is oily and I have severe dandruff. I have tried many shampoos but to no avail. It causes very uncomfortable itching and leads to scalp boils. Since using this shampoo, dandruff has decreased significantly and my scalp is less itchy. The ingredients are suitable for sensitive skin so causing no irritation!

Regular Head & Shoulders was working great for me for years, but eventually it wasn’t as effective and I wasn’t sure what to do. I tried Selsun Blue and T/Gel but those didn’t work either. Then I found this, and while it smells horrible, it works really great. I only have to use it once and my dandruff stops for several weeks, so one small bottle lasts me at least a year, making this a great value.

smells absolutely terrible. i tried this on a whim and washed my hair as usual; leaving in the product for 5 minutes. after i got out the shower, i kept smelling something bad. then i realized it was the shampoo. i went throughout my day smelling like that, it was embarrassing. not only does it smell, and not work (because i’m still getting flakes) but it turned my flakes orange??? i’ve used ketaconazole shampoo which is red colored and it has never changed the the color of my scalp.

The smell is absolutely terrible. Even if it worked great for dandruff, I'm not sure it's worth the smell it leaves in my hair. I tried to give it a couple of chances but I really can't keep using it.

The smell is putrid. I only used a little bit and the amount that dripped down my body in the shower made my whole body smell like the shampoo.

I read some of the customers reviews that the product change and I believe it. I remember when this shampoo worked on my dandruff and now it only helps for 1 day. I’m actually embarrassed to whoever gets a whiff of my hair because this shampoo smells so bad and my husband agreed that it smells horrible :,(.

This product helps so much with my disgusting and embarrassing dandruff problem. I had a flaky and oily scalp when I used the regular one. This shampoo has reduced my condition by a lot. I only have a few flaky spots under on my scalp near my neck thankfully. But, now I have spots of lose dried sebum on my hair, a minor issue but still a nag. After I wash my hair, it takes two days for my head to get oily again vs one day when using the original one.

I love this product because it actually does what it represents itself for which is to help relieve the scalp of itch and dandruff. However my favorite part is the refreshing cool menthol sensation.

Although this product is a bit on the pricey side it’s most definitely worth it. It cleared up my within only 2 washes. I just finished my bottle and will be restocking very soon. I admit the only thing I must warn you about is the smell isn’t the most present it has made me gag a few times but the product is worth buying.

I have pretty bad dandruff caused by seborrheic dermatitis but this shampoo really just gets rid of all the dandruff and the itching!! Will take a couple of uses for dandruff to completely disappear, but it has worked really well for me so far. When I stop using it I notice a difference.
Great product !

I have to use this about once a week and I love it, it works great but I only took a star off for the smell. I know it’s the smell of the ingredients that make it smell that way and it really works so no stars off for performance but it’s not the greatest smell.
