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

If you have redness, itchy, flakey, or oily scalp READ THIS!
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!

Very effective but the price has me trying another brand
I’ve been buying this for about a year for my daughter. She has a lot of hair so we go through it. The product is wonderful but the price has almost doubled. I may be back, but for now, I’m going to try another brand.

Have not seen full results
I bought this for my husband, it’s a little early to tell but it seems like it slowed the dandruff some

This is the most effective shampoo.
This shampoo only has a slight odor, so the contents are really made to aim for and defeat, in my case, a scratchy, snowy scalp. I can now wear darker shirts now, I’ve tried Tea Tree, and Tar based, and other shampoos, but not anymore. I’ll use it until it causes hair loss, then, I will just wash my bald (if it happens) a much cheaper way. I think the price is very fair since it does what it says it will do.

Bought this looking for that squeaky clean feel but it doesn’t quite give that. Faint medicinal or medicated smell which doesn’t bother me. Will need to use this for longer but I do feel like my scalp becomes slightly less oily using this twice a week.

I didn’t like it. It doesn’t lather well, feels oily, and could rinse better. Doesn’t work as well as many others on the market. Probably finishing bottle as a hand soap
