Neutrogena Scalp Therapy Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Extra Strength, with 3% salicylic acid, Fragrance Free, 12 fl oz

My dandruff was really bad and the only thing that seemed to help was using standard dandruff shampoo for a week or two and the dandruff would go away. But I just recently got this shampoo (I was hesitant cause I hadn't heard of salicycic acid) but it no joke almost got rid of my dandruff in one wash. My scalp was still a bit itchy and that went away two after another two washes! Also it's a better value than I thought cause it doesn't take a lot of it to wash my hair, as in it's rather concentrated.

Ok so all my life I’ve had a VERY oily scalp (oily as in by day 2 my hair looks like it would be on day 5 of no wash, especially because I work out a lot). I would also develop these irritated pores on the lower back part of my head and if I picked them I would literally rip off some dandruff. Thankfully it was never severe but definitely more common than I would like. I recently cut my hair very short to the point where I can see my scalp (I’ve always had my hair very long) and I could see the redness much more clearer compared to before which lead me to taking better care of my scalp.After doing research, everything lead to switching to a shampoo with salicylic acid hence my purchase. Already I can say I have ZERO itching, my redness has improved a lot (and I’m only one use in), my hair is softer, there is no smell which in my opinion is good because any fragrances can cause further irritation but it also does not smell weird or bad, and so far no oiliness!I was skeptic at first reading some of the reviews so I’d like to address some concerns from potential buyers;Remember that everyone is different and what might work for some doesn’t work for others and that’s ok. Just gotta find what works best for you and your scalp. Don’t be afraid to reach out to a dermatologist because it might also be some other underlying issues. There were some reviews stating it doesn’t lather which I will disagree on. It ABSOLUTELY lathers. The problem is we have very oily scalps so I recommend shampooing twice every time you wash your hair. Once to get the first layer of oil out, rinse out, then use a tiny bit more and I promise you it WILL lather. Take your time scrubbing it in all the way to your scalp. In my opinion, it lathers wayyy more than any traditional shampoo I’ve ever used. Because it’s meant for oily scalps it may dry out your ends so regardless of short or long hair, try your best to use conditioner on your ends ONLY, not your scalp. And after your shower, apply some sort of hydrating oil/serum into ur ends as well (me personally, I use coconut milk serum/oil).All I can say is I highly recommend anyone with similar issues as me to give this one a try and see if it works. For the price, it’s worth it there’s much more expensive shampoos out there for less than the amount this comes in. I’m going to try and stick to washing my hair 2-3 times MAX a week using this shampoo!

I struggle with psoriasis, and switched to this shampoo when my go-to (T/Sal) became unavailable at the stores in my area. It does a decent job, and even though the price is a bit steeper than I’m used to, it does last a long time—at least for someone like me with very short hair.

I have dandruff and itchy scalp having tried too many shampoos to count. I tried this after using another neutrogena product, and after a couple of months my hair is better than it’s been in a long time. It has kind of a Neutral smell and makes abundant lather. My hair feels clean with no itch after use.

I always need to switch up my hair care products unfortunately because my hair gets used to them, I am very much enjoying this new addition into my hair care routine. It really does strip the excess oil.

it's ok, helps after a few uses, nowhere near as effective a Neutrogena Tgel.

Underrated! You don’t need an expensive shampoo. This is so good. I love that it’s unscented. It really makes my scalp feel clean without drying my hair out

Dandruff was new to me a few years ago, and started in the dry winter months. I bought several other brands and varieties that didn't control it. First use of this and there was a drastic reduction in flakes, and with daily use, they're nearly gone. There is no scent to this, which is fantastic compared to some other similar products. I sometimes mix it with my regular shampoo or use conditioner afterwards. It's thick, and takes a bit to lather, so it's more work to use than regular shampoos. But it works! Not 100%, but that's okay, I'll take close to it. I seem to only need it during the dry, cold winter but no other OTC shampoo helps as well as this. It rinses out easily, but I do feel it dries out the ends of my hair, so I load up on conditioner. Sometimes i apply conditioner to the bottom half of my hair first, then use this to help seal in moisture.
