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

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!

This stuff seems to work amazingly well. Already after one use my scalp feels cleaner & healthier than it usually does & I've struggled with chronic dandruff since I was a kid & almost nothing seems to really work even the medicated stuff my doctor prescribed to me. Only wish it came it much larger bottles. I think this will be my new go-to dandruff treatment shampoo from now on.

Whether it get rids of of dandruff or not, this shampoo still makes my hair feel clean after washing it.It truly is no fragrance and since I’ve been washing my hair with this shampoo I have noticed that my dandruff hasn’t been as bad. It’s still there but easier to remove and not as noticeable.Despite the small size of the bottle there is quite a bit of shampoo in this bottle. It also doesn’t damage my curls which is nice. I’m definitely going to buy this again, the quality is wonderful and you’re definitely getting your money’s worth with this shampoo.

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.

Great theatment, I had dermatitis and this helped me a lot

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

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.

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
