Reliable Relief for a Sensitive Scalp

I started using Vanicream Dandruff Shampoo on the recommendation of my dermatologist, and it has been excellent. I only need it occasionally, but whenever my scalp gets dry, itchy, or flaky, this clears things up quickly. I also appreciate how pure and simple the formula is — it isn’t full of unnecessary additives, which fits with its old “Free & Clear” name. It’s fragrance free as well, which is a big plus for me. One thing to note is that it can leave your hair feeling very “squeaky” clean, so you’ll probably want to follow with a conditioner or detangler. Even with occasional use (about once every few weeks), it works reliably and keeps my scalp comfortable. For anyone looking for an effective, no‑nonsense dandruff shampoo, I would highly recommend it.

Best dandruff shampoo

This shampoo was referred by my husband's dermatologist. Since I also have dandruff and eczema on my scalp I thought I would try it as well. The results were better than I expected. I had a very bad eczema flare up with oozing sores on my scalp. I used this once and immediately noticed relief. I used it a second time and my flare up was almost cleared up completely. It has no fragrance which is great because I am very sensitive to smells as well. I'll never go back to regular shampoos.

Best for Super Sensitive Skin

I love this shampoo and don’t know what I’d do without it. I’m allergic to most lathering agents and vanicream dandruff shampoo does not trigger my contact dermatitis. It also does a great job eliminating dandruff.

Great for itchy, dry scalp

I occasionally have a dry, itchy scalp and the Vanicream Dandruff Shampoo helps tremendously! I like wet my hair, work the Vanicream Dandruff Shampoo into my scalp and leave on for about 5 min, rinse, then follow with my regular shampoo and conditioner. My scalp feels very clean and remains flake and itch free for about 1-2 weeks. I now use this shampoo about every other wash, as maintenance and have noticed that I rarely develop flakes, and the itchiness I used to experience is significantly less. I have thick, fine hair, and an overall healthy scalp. I highly recommend this product!

Keeps My Scalp Clean!

I use this shampoo once a week to keep product residue and natural oils from creating itchy patches on my scalp. I leave it on for a few minutes and use a deep conditioner after.

Dandruff control

It helps with dandruff, but it leaves your hair very dry. I recommend alternating it with your regular shampoo to give your hair a break.

Fast delivery and great products

I've ordered twice with LovelySkin, and will continue to order my shampoo from here. Delivery with this company is fast and reliable. In term of the product, this shampoo is great at curbing dandruff, eliminating grease, and keeping my scalp clean/healthy. This is the only shampoo my sensitive and acne-prone scalp will tolerate!

Seb. Derm.

So I didn’t have the Seb. Derm you see when you google it. I had some rough flakes on my forehead, lots of redness generalized everywhere. I’m not going to say this got rid of 100% of it. But this has definitely helped my situation and it was recommended by my derm team. It does not dry my hair out. My hair is naturally curly and wavy. Does the job. I’m pleased and thankful. Vanicream actually told me about lovely skin.com because it is sold out everywhere else.

Really works!

I purchased this shampoo because sometimes my scalp will become itchy in spots. It really made a difference after one use. I will continue to purchase.

Recommend by dermatologist

My dermatologist recommended I use dandruff shampoo for scalp dermatitis and this soothes itchiness pretty well. The drawback is that it dries my hair out and I have to use a heavier conditioner to counteract the dryness.

Pretty decent

Bought this for my son who is experiencing dry scalp. I like that it’s affordable and doesn’t have a ton of bad ingredients in it. Dermatologist always recommends Vanicream products. Can’t attest to it’s effectiveness as I haven’t used it myself, but my son seems to like it.

Familiar with Brand

While I am familiar with the Vanicream brand, it influenced me to buy it for my dandruff. After a few shampoos, my dandruff has abated. I would recommend it.

Essential

I bought this along with the regular version of their shampoo and it seems to be working great - I alternate this one in occasionally to prevent or treat the occasional flaky itchy scalp. Had to get rid of most of my previously loved hair products due to contact dermatitis and general sensitivity but thankfully Vanicream makes multiple products that are safe for my skin!

Great!

This shampoo is great at controlling my seb derm. Just using this once or twice a week has really improved the condition of my scalp. Gentle and not drying-- highly recommend!

Good for dandruff shampoo

Works well and is gentle on scalp. Definitely need to use a conditioner after the shampoo or it is difficult to comb through hair. Not a problem as always do
