Works as well as Jupiter for 1/3 the cost
Excellent dandruff shampoo! Looks and feels like moisturizing lotion but don’t let that throw you off. Its no-frills packaging belies this product’s efficacy. It works. It’s unscented. My hair is soft, clean and dandruff free (I have long, straight, color-treated hair.) I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Jupiter shampoo and found this Vanicream option on a dermatologist recommended YouTube video about clinically proven dandruff treatments. My advice: for starters, you have to shake the bottle to make sure the active ingredients are distributed correctly. And if you have long hair, you have to flip your head upside down to add product underneath to your scalp. Massage thoroughly on entire scalp, use enough to get the job done, and let it sit for a few minutes.

I canât believe it. Vanicream unscented dandruff shampoo works!
Iâve used Head and Shoulders since I was 13 yrs old. (56yrs) I had a problem with dandruff, itching and sores on my scalp and it cleared it right up. Over the years I would periodically try other dandruff shampoos because I didnât like the film Head and Shoulders left on my hair making it limp and greasy and now it is not working effectively. Within shampooing 3-4 times with these other shampoos the dandruff and itching returns, including Head and Shoulders natural.I had tried some other Vanicream products and loved them, then noticed they offered an unscented dandruff shampoo. Iâve waited so as to get several washings in to make sure it effective. I love it! My hair looks and feels clean and natural with more body and my scalp has never felt so clean. No dry skin or itching between shampooing. I wash it less and have less hair loss. (Coincidence?)

It cleanses effectively without stripping the hair or causing irritation. I love how it leaves my hair feeling clean, soft, and manageable. Plus, it’s free from common irritants like dyes, fragrance, parabens, and sulfates, making it a safe choice for sensitive skin. Overall, Vanicream shampoo is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a gentle, soothing shampoo that delivers great results.”

A little drying, but to be expected. So far, so good
I have only used this once as a shampoo so I canât speak to effectiveness yet, but I can say there was no irritation, burning, etc. I say this because I have extremely sensitive skin and some of the ingredients I was very skeptical of. Basically everything seems to irritate my skin, even some all natural products.I bought this for seb derm that I have been flaring up with recently, but wanted to try it as a shampoo first to see how my skin would react. My head had no reaction and I let it sit for about 20 seconds after lathering for about a minute. It is pretty drying (similar to Head & Shoulders) but that seems to be the only thing to note. Time will tell how it works with dandruff, but I would assume well based on the active ingredient. Irritation was the main thing I wanted to test.As far as smell, lather, etc., it is really good. Similar to normal shampoo. The smell has a slightly chemical element but not noticeable at all. Again, the irritation is what I was worried about and that was fine. I will eventually try some on more sensitive areas if it stays well tolerated, but as of now I can recommend this. If anything changes, Iâll be sure to update my review.As far as shipping, there was zero leakage. It is sealed airtight with a removable seal under the cap. If this works how intended (no reason not to based on the active ingredient) this will be my first choice in dandruff/seb derm treatment.

Fragrance free and controls dandruff/itching!!
I did not dislike anything about this dandruff shampoo except now it is not available and might not be back in stock. I am praying it will be as it is VERY hard to find a truly fragrance free, less chemicals in a dandruff shampoo. This one worked great, lathered up well, and did not bother my sensitivityâs. I have been using it for about four years now. Am very sad to have to find another fragrance free dandruff shampoo that will not bother my sensitivityâs. Sometimes they are NOT fragrance free and/or the chemicals bother me. This brand was great. Please bring back!

This is one of the best anti dandruff products I ever used. Very light smell and mild irritation to the scalp. Worked perfectly after the third time. Highly recommended

Amazing product. After 10 years of dandruff and trying dozens of products, i found this and its really the only product that actually work. The price however increased a lot. Product used to be for 40 AED and now its almost 100.
