- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseI've been using Vanicream Shampoo for Sensitive Skin in the 12 oz size, and it's been a great for my sensitive scalp. This shampoo is free from common chemical irritants like dyes, fragrances, lanolin, parabens, and formaldehyde releasers, which means I can use it without worrying about adverse reactions.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has evaluated this product, and it holds a low hazard rating, indicating that it's formulated with safer ingredients.
Despite its gentle formulation, it effectively cleanses my hair and scalp, removing build-up from styling products without causing dryness or irritation. It's also pH balanced and suitable for all hair types, including color-treated hair.
Overall, I highly recommend Vanicream Shampoo for anyone with sensitive skin or those looking to avoid harsh chemicals in their hair care routine. It's become a staple in my bathroom, and I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with using a product that's both effective and safe.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseIt is a great shampoo. No more itching after washing my hair
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseI have used the Vanicream cleanser for my skin so was ready to try the shampoo. Since I haven't seen it in any store near where I live I ordered it online. For a 12 oz bottle it is rather affordable compared to some shampoos that size or smaller (I paid more for a name brand 8 oz size of shampoo). Since I am not a big fan of dyes and/or fragrances I was glad to see this shampoo contained neither. And by fragrance-free that means no masking scents either. Some fragrances can be aggravating--I don't want perfume just clean hair. The shampoo is also sulfate-free and since I color my hair that was a plus too-hopefully less fading of hair color. I have hair that tends to run on the oily side but at the same time is straight and limp so I use styling products which can also cause build-up. This shampoo doesn't contain any additional proteins and since it is a clear shampoo kind of acts like a detox shampoo yet doesn't contain the harsh SLS that some clarifying shampoos do. We have soft water so it lathered up okay and I do spend extra time rinsing to make sure everything is out of my hair. Since my hair is thick it did get kind of tangled after washing so I did use a conditioner to facilitate easier combing. I rotate between a couple of shampoos so this will probably be the one I use when I need to give my hair a fresh start and get rid of build-up.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseI've been using this shampoo and conditioner for a few years. I am very sensitive to smells, this truly has no scent. Yes, it's pricey, but it's worth it to me. It suds up good, cleans well.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseI can't buy this product locally anymore. Use it regularly. Top of the line product with no allergic issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2025Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseMy dermatologist recommend this shampoo after I had an allergic reaction to T Sal shampoo. Vanicream (Feee and Clear) truly is fragrance free. HOWEVER, it makes my hair insanely dry. I actually have more dry skin on my scalp and my hair feels like straw after I use it. For some reason my hair becomes difficult to comb after I use this too. It's not worth it to me
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2024Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseForget all the sexy packaged shampoos with the clever names out there, this stuff works
I've been dealing with an itchy scalp for quite some time, and after trying countless shampoos, I finally found a solution with this Vanicream shampoo. From the first wash, I noticed a significant difference in how my scalp felt. The itchiness that used to drive me crazy throughout the day has almost completely disappeared.
One of the best things about this shampoo is how gentle it is. Unlike other shampoos that leave my scalp feeling dry and irritated, this one maintains a perfect balance. It leaves my hair feeling clean and fresh without stripping away the natural oils that keep my scalp healthy. The formula is soothing, and it doesn't have any harsh chemicals that often aggravate sensitive skin.
If you struggle with an itchy scalp or sensitivity, I highly recommend giving shampoo a try. It's been a game-changer for me, providing relief and helping me feel more comfortable and confident day to day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice on sensitive scalp!
Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseThis shampoo is lovely for sensitive scalp. I have severe eczema, and this is the shampoo recommended by my dermatologist! It works well, and when used with the conditioner, it leaves the hair shiny, soft, and very healthy. My hairdresser is impressed with how well it suds, and how well my hair looks. I can’t use hairspray because of the eczema, but the shampoo gives my hair body, and looking good!

Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseI’ve been looking for Free and Clear for ages and trying to get it from abroad so grabbed it when it became available on Amazon India. If you have allergies or sensitivities - this is the best shampoo you can buy for yourself. Even if you don’t, it’s an excellent product minus the harsh additives. Leaves my hair feeling lush! Would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MI NO PERO A MI MARIDO SI
Style: ShampooVerified PurchaseHe empezado a utilizar este producto al mismo tiempo que otro champú de biotina para cuero cabelludo sensible comprado en amazon.com. Para mí éste no es el champú, siento que el pelo me dura poco limpio, aunque la verdad es que es muy suave. Sin embargo a mi marido que también tiene problemas de cuero cabelludo le ha encantado. Tengo previsto comprar más productos de esta línea y darles una oportunidad porque me gustan mucho los ingredientes. Así que se lleva cinco estrellas aunque no sea para mí
