My eczema likes this for only a few days. It scores well on the Yuka app and doesn’t have the hormone disrupters that Head & Shoulders has. It doesn’t tingle, unfortunately. I’m going to continue using it until I find something better. I have coily hair.

I hoped this would work for me but it didn't. I have sebhorreic dermatitis and even the same day I wash my hair with this shampoo my scalp is itching and flaky. Maybe it's just me but at least for me it's a no-no

It left my scalp very dry with more dandruff than my other dandruff shampoos. I’m trying all of them and unfortunately this one was not it :/

This made my dryness worse, visible flakes in my hair after using. Save yourself the trouble and buy a coal tar shampoo.
Go for the T Sal instead

Smells horrible. It’s as if you mixed half a dozen perfumes that were all very different, and poured it into this shampoo. It’s such an odd smell, I can’t even describe it. But it works well. However, the Salicylic Acid % is less than the T Sal Neutrogena shampoo, which works better (and is unscented). Go for the T Sal if you have a choice.

I find that itchiness is the last to go away and it's been hard to not scratch my scalp when it's so itchy. Honestly I think they've all been helpful but require constant use.

First couple washes, I thought it was making a difference, because it helped with itchy scalp a little bit but doesn't get rid of dandruff. My scalp does fine the first day of shampoo, but itching is also back the next day or so. I still have to shampoo every other day to avoid getting too much dandruff built up in my head. It is relatively easy on your hair, doesn't dry that much if you couple it with conditioner and maybe serum.
Not impressed .

Just okay as a dandruff shampoo. It’s better than nothing, but definitely doesn’t eliminate dandruff or scalp itch. If your case is mild, it’s probably fine. I won’t repurchase.

My 14 year old daughter has been using this shampoo for dandruff care and it has really worked wonders for her scalp. It has reduced the itchiness due to dry scalp and flaking as well. Well and reasonably priced. This shampoo has no to very little scent and doesn’t strip the hair of its natural oils. Dandruff free scalp for all hair types!
No horrible smell!

I purchased this for my son and it honestly works better than the more expensive ant-dandruff shampoos and smells waaaaaaay better. He has seen a reduction in itching and flakes. I appreciate that it’s in a larger bottle which is definitely giving you more bang for your buck!
Good job

It’s made an improvement with the itching and pain. I wouldn’t say it completely healed it, but it is an improvement. I don’t think the smell is bothersome at all (like some people mentioned). It’s just a menthol smell. I hope it continues to improve.
The best shampoo!

You can't imagine how much I love this shampoo, I use it every other day. This shampoo saved my hair, I had a lot of dandruff and this really saved me, the smell is delicious and it refreshes you a lot. The price is totally affordable, it is great, I recommend it with great confidence

I am usually a big Neutrogena product fan but this shampoo after using it several times before writing this review made my scalp itch more & not just the psoriasis spots but all over not including causing bad dandruff too. This shampoo did help with a few psoriasis spots but added more issues with the all-over head itching along with dandruff problems! Disappointed!
Not for everyone

I don’t normally write reviews but it works as to cleaning my hair. However, this did nothing for my dandruff. I don’t think this shampoo is suited to work for all scalps.
