Vanicream Dandruff Shampoo, 8 Fl Oz, Formulated without Common Irritants for Sensitive Skin, pH Balanced Mild Formula for Sensitive Scalps, No Fragrance, Lanolin & Parabens

This is a 2% zinc pyrithione dandruff shampoo. It's far from the only one out there, but it's the other 98% that makes this the best I've ever used in over 60 years! The other 98% is a creamy lotion that doesn't sting your eyes or irritate sensitive areas. It is basically odorless, which is how I like it. It is effective everywhere you have seborrheic dermatitis and it's a pleasure to use. No useless tingly-stuff to make you think it's working – it just works. It rinses off cleanly and easily, which means you get to choose your favorite conditioner if you use one of those. They seem to have problems procuring some of the ingredients in a timely manner, so the stores will run out of it from time to time. My suggestion is to buy a year's supply and then reorder one bottle as you use it on subscribe and save. Otherwise it would be wise to have a backup favorite.

Our family faithfully uses this stuff regularly to control scalp irritation. We have sensitive skin and this has been in a league by itself in terms of avoiding ingredients that would exacerbate the issue. It does make ones hair a little dry, so I recommend just applying it to the scalp rather than an entire head of hair. We actually follow this with Eden Bodyworks Clarifying Shampoo on our scalps to keep that skin calm and not flaky. They make a good combo. Pros: fragrance-free, no dyes, no sulfates, helps control itch Con: a little on the pricey side Even with the cost, we feel the product is worth purchasing due to its benefits. I would consider this product particularly appropriate for folks who have extra sensitive skin.

Works great!

I have only used this once as a shampoo so I can’t speak to effectiveness yet, but I can say there was no irritation, burning, etc. I say this because I have extremely sensitive skin and some of the ingredients I was very skeptical of. Basically everything seems to irritate my skin, even some all natural products. I bought this for seb derm that I have been flaring up with recently, but wanted to try it as a shampoo first to see how my skin would react. My head had no reaction and I let it sit for about 20 seconds after lathering for about a minute. It is pretty drying (similar to Head & Shoulders) but that seems to be the only thing to note. Time will tell how it works with dandruff, but I would assume well based on the active ingredient. Irritation was the main thing I wanted to test. As far as smell, lather, etc., it is really good. Similar to normal shampoo. The smell has a slightly chemical element but not noticeable at all. Again, the irritation is what I was worried about and that was fine. I will eventually try some on more sensitive areas if it stays well tolerated, but as of now I can recommend this. If anything changes, I’ll be sure to update my review. As far as shipping, there was zero leakage. It is sealed airtight with a removable seal under the cap. If this works how intended (no reason not to based on the active ingredient) this will be my first choice in dandruff/seb derm treatment.

Great but hard to find

My son has had eczema since he was an infant, including his scalp, always having itchy and dry skin. He has used a prescription steroid ointment since a toddler, but not only can you not use it more than 2 weeks at a time, but it’s also difficult to apply on the scalp if you have longer hair. Being a teenager he is very sensitive to his looks and having extreme dandruff from his scalp eczema definitely affected his self esteem. We have tried tea tree shampoo, Nizoral, Selsun Blue,Head and Shoulders and even tar shampoo, but nothing we bought over the counter worked. I figured I had nothing to lose when trying this Vanicream shampoo. After 2 weeks my son has already noticed a difference. Now he finally has relief from the itchiness, no flakes and is more confident. I’d definitely recommend you give this a try! He also uses the Vanicream body wash and body cream on a regular basis as well. We are so thankful for this product! After 13 years he no longer uses unhealthy steroid prescriptions! Thank you Vanicream!

I ordered this for my husband and he said he loves it because it works and also, because his hair is not as flat. I love that it is fragrance-free and that the company does not test on animals. See note below. Ethical Elephant says the company verified that their products and ingredients are not tested on animals, and that they do not sell their products under conditions where animal testing is required by law. They further stated that Vanicream is a cruelty-free brand by their standards. They also noted that Vanicream is owned by Pharmaceutical Specialties Inc., and that company is NOT cruelty-free because they allow some of their other brands to test on animals.

Doesn't work for my dandruff, but it is completely unscented, which is a necessity for me.

استخدمته من فتره لابني كانت فروة راسه تكون طبقة قشور عبوه وحده فقط واختفت القشور والان بنتي تعاني من نفس المشكله اخذت عبوتين بعرض ممتاز مفعوله عجيييب 👌🏻

After using this shampoo, no itchiness and less oily on my scalp, and it is no foul smell. Thank you seller and courier.

Amazing product. After 10 years of dandruff and trying dozens of products, i found this and its really the only product that actually work. The price however increased a lot. Product used to be for 40 AED and now its almost 100.

This is one of the best anti dandruff products I ever used. Very light smell and mild irritation to the scalp. Worked perfectly after the third time. Highly recommended

It’s not a cure, it’s only treat the dandruff as long as you use it
