"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."

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)

Visible thickness & growth

"This trio really impressed me! After a few weeks of consistent use, my hair feels noticeably thicker, healthier, and shinier. The shampoo and conditioner are gentle yet effective, and the serum soothes my scalp without leaving any residue. I love that it’s vegan, color-safe, and works for all hair types. Super easy to use and definitely worth it if you're trying to boost volume and strength."

— Ms. T. (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)

ACTIIV Ultimate Power Trio For Women

"I have thick, coarse hair, but it has lost its fullness after I had a baby. Overall, after a few uses, my hair and scalp are feeling and looking healthier. The scents are pleasant and not overwhelming. For $138 (price at the time of this review), I doubt I will order this product again. However, I’m still happy with it and hope to see continued improvements with continued use."
