One of the best drugstore dandruff shampoos I tried. The scent is nice and not overpowering. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts forever. Will definitely buy again

I will not be repurchasing this shampoo and conditioner. I used it one time and thought I was gonna pull my hair out from itching my head. My head itched so bad it felt like my skin was crawling. I thought I would give it a 2nd chance but no improvement. Don’t recommend for people with dermatitis or very dry itchy scalp.

Hi there - we’re so sorry to hear about your experience—and grateful you took the time to share it. That uncomfortable reaction is certainly not what we're aiming for, especially those already dealing with scalp sensitivities. Our formulas are dermatologist-formulated and clinically tested to be gentle yet effective, but of course every scalp is different. While we strive to make products that are suitable for everyone, we can sometimes fall short. We absolutely never want anyone to feel worse after using our products. We’d love the chance to learn more and help make things right. Please reach out to us directly at support@hellojupiter.com so our team can support you one-on-one.

This shampoo does work for dandruff however I will not be repurchasing and quite honestly can hardly even continue to use it. The consistency is SO thin. I have to use probably 3-4oz to cover my whole head (my hair is shoulder length). It doesn’t spread easily at all and also doesn’t foam which makes it harder to get on all of my hair too. I ordered this 2 weeks ago and I already have gone through 3/4 of it. If you do purchase this, I would recommend using another shampoo with it and using this one more on the days that you need the dandruff treatment.

Hi there — thank you for giving our Balancing Shampoo a try, and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear it helped with dandruff, but we’re sorry the texture and lather didn’t meet your expectations. Our formula is sulfate-free, which means it won’t foam up the way some shampoos do — that’s intentional, to help protect your scalp’s barrier and avoid the drying effects of harsher surfactants. That said, it should spread evenly with a bit of water and a gentle massage, and you definitely shouldn’t need to use that much per wash. It may feel like its not lathering - but it's absolutely working! We’d love to help troubleshoot or offer some usage tips to make the most of each bottle. If you're open to it, reach out to us at support@hellojupiter.com — our team’s always here to help. 💙

I’ve tried many anti-dandruff shampoos, and this is one of the best. It cleared up my flakes and itchiness within a couple of weeks, and my scalp feels healthy without being dry. The scent is amazing—clean and refreshing without being too strong. It also leaves my hair soft and shiny, not stripped like some medicated shampoos. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it if you want something effective and gentle. Highly recommend, especially for color-treated or sensitive scalps!

Love this shampoo and conditioner. Smells minty. Bought the Shampoo, conditioner and serum bundle on Amazon for over $50. Target had them for way cheaper! I have seborrheic dermatitis which includes symptoms of flakes, tightness, hair loss and inflammation. This combo has drastically made a difference. No more tightness and flakes are almost gone. Plus I've seen hair growth!

I have psoriasis that flares up on the back of my scalp. I used to use clinical strength head and shoulders, which worked but full of chemicals. I switched to Jupiter and it really works. I also wash my hair daily, and don't have any complaints about the everyday use either. I won't be switching shampoo and conditioner!

I purchased this shampoo after seeing the flake free guarantee made on a Facebook ad. I have been using this shampoo for about 2 weeks now and really was hoping that I would be seeing results by now. I decided to give this shampoo a shot because I was tired of constantly having an itchy scalp and having dust off the flakes off my shoulders and back. I have consistently uses this shampoo every time I wash my hair and while it does a good job cleansing I still am stuck with a flakey scalp. This shampoo isn’t does not meet the guarantee unfortunately for me

Thank you for giving Jupiter a try and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear you’re still dealing with flakes after two weeks of consistent use. We completely understand how frustrating it can be as your scalp takes some time to balance out - especially with a new product. While many people start seeing improvements within the first couple of weeks, it can sometimes take a little longer depending on your scalp’s condition and your wash routine. That said, our Flake-Free Guarantee is here for a reason, and we absolutely want to make this right.

Ashlee - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
I waited a full month to give a review on this. I adore the idea of a color safe dandruff shampoo, but I didn't notice that it specifically helped in the dandruff department. I'm used to H&S stripping my hair completely of oils, so maybe it doesn't strip completely of oils? And that's probably what's also helping to keep the color in tact. The texture feels more like a conditioner than a shampoo (the lather isn't really there either). Don't get me wrong, my hair was clean after! but it doesn't last quite as long until the next wash as when I use traditional dandruff shampoos. You're sacrificing a little effectiveness in dandruff care for your color, but overall I would buy it again to protect my fashion colors and mix it into my routine.
