- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2025Immediately noticed reduction in itchiness after first use. The scalp is clean, a bit drying, but conditioner should solve the issue. No smell and works well to control oil. Recommended
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024Excellent 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024"Vanicream shampoo is a lifesaver for anyone with sensitive skin or scalp issues. This gentle, fragrance-free formula is perfect for those who react to harsh ingredients in other shampoos. 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."
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2025I’ve used it for over a week and my scalp is definitely getting better. It makes by hair feel a little oily which is why I gave it 4 stars but if I use it every other day it’s not as bad( I use Suave shampoo the next day and my hair becomes soft. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2024I 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 sensitivity’s. 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 sensitivity’s. Sometimes they are NOT fragrance free and/or the chemicals bother me. This brand was great. Please bring back!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2025The best dandruff shampoo! No fragrance.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2025I’ve 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 didn’t 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. I’ve 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?)
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024This works well enough as a regular shampoo, but we have not see improvement with flaking/dandruff. Beware don’t use this on an already oily scalp as it will make it feel greasier.
