Nizoral AD AntiDandruff Shampoo, Fresh, 4 Fl Oz

I shave my head and have a full beard, I only use this on beard, not scalp. It absolutely works, but you can't use it every time you shower, it will dry you out pretty bad. You only need a little bit, maybe twice a week. This bottle lasted me almost a year and a half, so some of the critique of the price is a bit overhyped. As soon as I ran out of stock, the flakes returned within a week

Use this for me, I like the smell and knowing that is gentle on my hair than traditional shampoo. Would love it even more If i could get the 2% formula one that is only available in prescriptions ( I think). Yet this one is great too.

Ok, full transparency, I think I've been suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis for years and just never knew it. Initially, when I started getting dandruff when I was a teenager, I just thought it was due to a dry scalp or product build-up that never washed out. Not the worst thing in the world, but still irritating. Getting older, however, it got much worse. Itching, redness, scaling all around my hair line (front and back), it was awful. Pieces of my skin would peel off at my temples and the flakes would be very noticeable. I hated it so much. And sadly, not once did I think to ask a dermatologist about it.So,here we are years later, I still had horrible dandruff, itching, redness, the whole shebang. And then, my mother says one day, "Well, you've always had eczema ever since you were a baby." ... I never knew that. No one had told me that before. But in hindsight, yeah, it made so much sense. I just never considered that the case since I never noticed it anywhere else on my body that wasn't easily explained away. A little dryness here and there was nothing compared to my head. But that knowledge ultimately didn't help the scalp issue. Until, surprisingly enough, a YT ASMR video mentioned eczema/dermatitis and ketoconazale as a topical treatment for the hair. Interesting...Now, this past week, I feel like my scalp has been the worst it had been. Scaling and redness, itching pretty much non-stop, and that was after a shower using Head & Shoulders shampoo. So, I looked around and did some research on ketoconazale. It's a topical treatment for fungal skin infections like athlete's foot, jock itch, and yep, seborrhea (aka dry, flaking skin) and dandruff. Looking up the best rated shampoos with this main ingredient led me to Nizoral. And I am extremely happy to have found it.Again, full transparency, I've only used this shampoo today (day of writing this) and already I see an improvement. MAJOR improvement. I bought the 4 oz bottle, as I didn't want to commit to a larger one before trying it out, and a Scalpmaster Shampoo Brush (THIS IS KEY!!!). So, as soon as I had the bottle in my hands, I'm running for the shower. I used only Nizoral as my shampoo with Aussie Conditioner at the end. I used the brush to really scrub at the scaling and flakes all the way around my head, and it felt amazing. I've tried before with my nails to get the scales off, but this brush is 1000X better at it. I "lather, rinse, repeat" using the brush both times and I could really feel a difference in how my scalp felt. Sure, Head & Shoulders might have a better scent (I think this Nizoral shampoo is practically unscented or at least extremely mildly scented, not really noticeable), but this along with the brush helped my head and hair feel really clean. It lathered nicely, especially the second time, didn't make my hair feel too squeaky and stripped like some products do, and I don't notice any film or residue either now that my hair is mostly air-dried.After, when inspecting my head and feeling along the hairline, I can see the proof. No flakes!!! At little redness, but that was expected, but no huge scales or flakes stuck to my scalp, no patches to be felt behind my ears or at the nape of my neck, NOTHING!!! I... I am so happy to find this shampoo. If this happens every time I use it, I might be a customer for life. I'll add an edit in about 2 weeks to see if the product really held up or not.*** Edit:Okay, it's been 48 hours and I'm still very impressed. The itching across my scalp was cut down at least 80% or more. Very rarely did I feel an itch or try to scratch. Looking around my hairline again, I see a few tiny flakes, but that was mostly around the skin near my temples, my admittedly worst place for the scaling and irritation.Checking around the back of my neck and behind my ears saw massive improvement, I can't feel any patches or bumps at all around my hairline. My hair feels soft without any remaining residue to change its texture. It is a bit frizzy though, but that's mostly my own fault for not straightening it like I would normally, so I count that as non-related to the product.Overall, for a first time application and test, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I knew it wouldn't be an overnight cure-all for my problem, but the improvement I've seen in 48 hours over the past week is amazing! I'll add another update after a few more days.

So I saw a few TikTokers who highly recommended using antidandruff shampoo as a facial cleanser since some acne can be fungal based and this has Ketconazole (an antifungal) as its active ingredient. That was originally why I purchased this, but then I decided to try hair training (not washing my hair every day) which left my scalp flakey so I ALSO ended up using this as a shampoo. Here is my honest review for both uses.First, the price is pretty high considering that it comes in such a small bottle, but that is true for a lot of antidandruff products. The scent is sooooo nice! Like clean laundry. It lathers up really well and doesn't leave too bad of an after-scent like a lot of antidandruff products.SKINCARE: I have combination skin, super oily but also can be dry, acne prone, textured, sensitive skin, with enlarged pores. I used this morning and night in place of my usual face cleanser. It cleaned the skin really well, but maybe a little too drying (stripped some of my natural oils). I didn't notice any real difference between this and my usual facial cleanser so I ended up discontinuing use after a few months. My skin was clear and it didn't cause any breakouts so it's not bad as a cleanser, but I didn't like how dry it left my skin.HAIRCARE: I have super long, straight, thin/fine, smooth, and oil prone hair (gets oily quickly and hair training for 2 years did NOT change that). When I don't wash it in 24hrs, my hair gets super oily. After 48hrs, the dandruff arrives. This cleaned my hair well, but I did have to lather/apply it twice per wash to fully clear out the oil of my hair. It cleaned out the dandruff that was already there, but that dandruff came right back after 48hrs of not washing. If you're washing daily, this is probably great for you, but for me and my hair training journey, I didn't see much difference between using this and my normal shampoo as far as dandruff development.Personally, this didn't really help me as much as I'd hoped, but as far as antidandruff shampoos go, this isn't bad. The scent alone makes it more appealing than Selsun Blue. I probably won't be buying or using this again, but I can see how this would be a useful product for others.Hope this helps!

Great for keeping flakes away! Keeps hair Healthy and thick! Bottle lasts for months, not much needed to work!
