NizoralScalp Soothing Itchy & Sensitive Shampoo, 24 Hour Soothing Care, Ongoing Relief for Dry, Itchy and Flaky Scalps, For Healthy Looking, Shiny Hair, Contains Aloe Vera, 1 x 200ml

Nizoral is effective IF the instructions are followed correctly. It needs time to bind to the hair and work on the scalp; so as suggested in the instructions, the 3 to 5 minutes rest with the shampoo applied before rinsing out are relevant. It only needs a small amount every other day for a fortnight to eliminate the fungal infection and then depending on lifestyle maybe once a week or three thereafter to prevent recurrence. On my normal infrequent usage a bottle lasts me about a year.I never had dandruff for the many decades before my barber retired, and I then needed to change to a new one. Within a week of my first haircut at the new barber I had the dandruff and itchy scalp, and the heavily advertised over-the-counter H&S shampoo I tried made things worse by causing an allergic reaction because it contained a pair of irritant cytotoxins (Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone) intended as preservatives.Fortunately this Nizoral recommended by my doctor is free of MCI and MI, and my sensitive skin has not suffered any allergic reactions when using it. He suggested that as a test for the first application I used as little as possible to create the lather (just one drop necessary for my short hair in our soft water) and that I only let it settle for a minute before carefully rinsing it all out.I was lucky and did not react, and since then have followed the instructions in the leaflet. The contra-indications in the instructions are significant, and as many as one in a hundred of us could suffer some kind of adverse reaction.Remember to shake the bottle well before each application, because if left standing for a long time it can separate into a watery part and a thick part.After the first eight to ten days and only four or five hair-washes with Nizoral, my scalp was no longer itchy. For the last five years I have mostly been free of dandruff, but only because I now always wash with this immediately after a haircut. Another haircut is due soon, hence needing to buy some more...

I have had thinning hair for years and have tried many products but I have just finished my second 200ml tube of Nizoral and the results are remarkable - I can no longer see the scalp except where my hair is parted, it looks to be 3\4 times denser; my hair is no longer flat and lifeless looking it has bounce even when wet; I sometimes have scalp irritation at night if I get too hot but that has gone; my hair has always been fine and soft and tends to be greasy but now it retains the good points and is normal as opposed to greasy.The shampoo is rich to feel, easy to lather, cleans well and smells fresh - suitable for all.I am well aware that products do not necessarily work for every one but this is a winner for me and well worth a try if you have thinning hair.

I was sceptical. Tried shampoos before , still had itchy scalp next day. I washed my hair yesterday morning. Waited til today to review shampoo as I usually start itching the day after( or even later same day)It's been hot today and I've worn a hat.Shampoo lathers well. I only shampooed once. My hair styled well and was soft after washing. So relieved and very impressed with this shampoo. N.B. I don't have eczema or psoriasis.

Didn’t do much for scalp. I guess it is just a good for being a normal shampoo, as it cleanses effectively.
