Reviews

It works!

"It worked great on my dry scalp and other hair issues"

— Julie C. (5/5)

Great cleanser!

"I love this stuff! I have frequent dandruff and work out daily now with dense 4c hair. It’s cleanses the scalp Super well and is a good clarifying shampoo. It will strip the dirt and buildup out of your hair. It’s smells like eucalyptus or mint."

— Trinity (4/5)

Excellent product!!

"First purchased this product from a large Barber Shop and it immediately help my dandruff and helped my problem. I highly recommended this product!!!"

— Pop (5/5)

Works well, but you get so little

"I miss this now that I'm all out, but at that price for this little product, I won't get it again. My scalp felt great, it didn't dry out my hair, smelled nice and left my head and hair feeling very clean. If the bottle were bigger, I would definitely continue with this shampoo, my hair/ scalp were so happy with it."

— Teddie C. (5/5)

An exfoliating shampoo

"This dandruff remedy shampoo is gritty in texture to exfoliate the scalp getting rid of dead skin. These formula of this shampoo also help clear dandruff as well. It has nice scent and I enjoy it. It is a bit pricey but it does work."

— Ā (4/5)

cooling, works

"Yes, it works! Has been helpful over the past few uses in combatting dry scalp and flakes. Doesn’t dry my hair out, lathers well, smells nice and I love the cooling feel on my scalp. Not sure it works better than a store brand, H and S, but it still works and makes my head feel clean."

— Shopaholic (5/5)

Works really well!

"This is one of the best dandruff shampoos I’ve tried. I have a lot of dandruff and I don’t know why. Seems to be the older I get the more appears. This really cut back on it. It didn’t treat it completely but enough to where I wasn’t having to check my hair all the time."

— Brittani M. (5/5)

Great

"I love this shampoo! I have used other dandruff shampoo that i have to wash my hair twice and three times. I love that this shampoo I only need to wash my hair once, it calms my scalp immediately, and it smells so fresh. It's expensive but worth it. My hair is moisturize, soft, and shiny."

— Lovelust (5/5)

Works as Advertised - But High Priced for Small Amount

"Product arrived in a timely manner. Has a great smell (not medicinal scent, like other dandruff shampoos) - easy to use & wash-out - somewhat of a tingling effect - have noticed less dandruff/dry scalp over a month use. While the dandruff shampoo seems to work properly, the cost for such a small bottle of product is not worth the need, even only using a small amount, can tell that the product will not last long for the cost. While I would recommend the shampoo for the effectiveness, I cannot recommend based on the cost for a small bottle."

— Jake (4/5)

Works as expected

"This product surprisingly works much better than I expected. I have used many products in the past for dandruff and it did not show results or it took some time. My scalp is usually very sensitive, but it seems less irritated. The product itself resembles a melted, mint chocolate chip ice cream. The consistency is a bit watery, but it’s surprisingly lathers well. I am able to easily spread it on all parts of my scalp, even though I have a decent amount of hair that can be hard to spread product through normally. It has a pleasant sense that makes me look forward to using it. Currently, it is summertime so my dry scalp is still there, but it is not as bad so I am looking forward to using this in the winter when it can get a bit more extreme. I have color treated hair and this has also not negatively affected my colored hair. This product is a win in all ways."
