Great for mild to moderate dandruff!
I bought this CeraVe Hydrating Anti Dandruff Shampoo for my mother who has suddenly began getting white flakes in her hair, which were significantly more noticeable after washing. We had tried the more popular Head & Shoulders brand, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on getting rid of the flakes. So, once the bottle was just about empty, I decided to search for a gentleman, yet (hopefully) effective different brand of anti-dandruff shampoo. That’s when I came across the CeraVe brand. I’ve always had great results with their skincare products, the price was great, and it got really positive reviews. I also liked that it was paraben, phalate, and fragrance free. So, I helped her wash her hair a few days ago and those itchy flakes just disappeared like magic!! I’m pretty sure that both shampoos have the same active ingredient, however the H&D was full of fragrance and could have been contributing to the irritation of her scalp. This shampoo was creamy, easy to get into a nice sudsy (but not too sudsy) lather and it rinsed completely out of her hair. There was no flaking noticeable afterwards and her naturally soft, curls were beautiful. Thank you, CeraVe for an affordable and effective product to take care of a mild to moderate case of dandruff. Will definitely be repurchasing.

Excellent Quality — Leaves My Scalp Refreshed and Clean
I’m very impressed with the quality of this anti-dandruff shampoo. It has no harsh or unpleasant smell, which I really appreciate, and it leaves my scalp feeling incredibly refreshed and clean after every use. The formula feels gentle but effective, and it’s made a noticeable difference in the overall health and comfort of my scalp.This is by far one of the best shampoos I’ve tried for maintaining a clean, balanced scalp without any strong chemical scent. Highly recommend!

Game changer !
game-changer for my scalp. The formula with 1% Pyrithione Zinc really helps control flakes, and it provides noticeable relief from itchiness. I love that it’s sulfate-free and contains ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, so it cleans without drying out my hair.It lathers nicely and rinses easily, leaving my hair soft, hydrated, and manageable. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in scalp health since I started using it, and it feels gentle enough for everyday use. Overall, it’s effective, nourishing, and has quickly become my go-to anti-dandruff shampoo.

Clean scalp
I love it, works great but you have to be consistent every other day and wash twice. It truly keeps your scalp looking goods

Very good, I recommend it
I’m really impressed with this anti-dandruff shampoo. It’s gentle, smells amazing, and actually hydrates my hair instead of drying it out like most anti-dandruff products. After a few washes, my scalp felt calm and the flakes were gone. My hair looks soft, shiny, and clean. Totally worth it

It WORKS!! But you have to know how to use it.
IMPORTANT: The main ingredient is zinc pyrithione (ZPT). It disrupts Malassezia’s cell membrane and energy production, making it hard for the yeast to grow and divide. This is not instant. You will only see results around week 4 or 5.Why does it take time?Unlike ketoconazole, which rinses away more completely, zinc pyrithione (ZPT) partially deposits on the scalp and hair shafts. This residue creates a reservoir effect, meaning antifungal activity continues between washes.Why consistency matters:Each wash leaves a bit more ZPT on the scalp surface. With regular daily use, the residue reaches a stable level after about 4 weeks. At that point, yeast levels are suppressed enough for flakes and itching to noticeably improve.MY EXPERIENCE:I’ve had dandruff for over 10 years and have tried many products (e.g., Head & Shoulders, Nizoral [ketoconazole], Selsun Blue, Neutrogena T/Gel). None of them really worked for me. Maybe I wasn’t using them properly, thoroughly, or consistently. I often gave up after just one week or didn’t leave the product on my scalp for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.What I’ve learned is that there’s a process to follow. If you give up too early, you won’t see results.WHAT I DID:I used the CeraVe 1% zinc pyrithione shampoo and the CeraVe anti-dandruff conditioner. Do not use a “2-in-1” product because it is not as effective as having a separate shampoo and conditioner. The anti-dandruff conditioner also contains zinc pyrithione, and letting the product stay on the hair and scalp gives the antifungal ingredient more time to work.I used the shampoo first, then the conditioner every day except Wednesday and Saturday, because on those days I used a ketoconazole 2% shampoo. Ketoconazole is more potent but drying. It is very effective for major flare-ups but not ideal for daily use. I followed this routine for 4 weeks. It is very important to stick with the process. This is how the product does its job, so you must stay consistent before the results show up.I also started using moisturizer in week 3, but only occasionally. I used “Minimalist 10% Vitamin B5 Face Moisturizer.” It is made for the face, but you can also use it on the scalp if you want. The important thing is that it does not contain any ingredients that feed Malassezia yeast, which is what causes dandruff. “Biossance 100% Squalane Oil” is also good, as it is sugarcane-derived squalane. Do not use squalane derived from olive oil, as it may worsen dandruff. If you want to add extra products, make sure it does not have any ingredient that feeds the Malassezia yeast. I also used artificial intelligence (AI) to help build a daily regimen and to check for the ingredients. Like how each ingredient affects my skin, does it worsen my condition etc.. I used ChatGPT.com, but other AI tools would work well too. They can provide more details, steps, and information.Results:Week 3: some small improvementWeek 4: about 90% clearedWeek 5: about 97% cleared, with only small patches (I treated these areas with a topical antifungal)Week 6: completely clearedNow I’m happy to say I have been dandruff-free for more than 1 month.For maintenance/ prevent it from coming back:I use the cerave zinc pyrithione anti dandruff shampoo 2x a week and then 1x a week a ketoconazole shampoo.Adjust accordingly, you can reduce to 1x a week if it works well for you.In the future, if you are having a stressful week, then use the shampoo more frequently for prevention.Stress hormones increase oil productionWhen you’re stressed, your body releases cortisol and other stress hormones.These stimulate sebaceous glands in the scalp to produce more sebum (oil).Malassezia feeds on sebum, especially its fatty acids. This irritates the scalp and causes dandruff.Overall it did its job, I highly recommend it.

Wonderful Shampoo & Conditioner
I had an itchy scalp and so I purchased this shampoo. Why this shampoo and not one that has been advertised? Well I use the face cleanser and the body lotion and I love them so I knew I would love this shampoo.I had my partner look and saw I did not have dandruff so that was great. I used this shampoo or time and it took away my itchy scalp. I am using it once a week to keep it at bay. It has a pleasant smell and I enjoy it. The conditioner makes your hair so nice and soft.

Works Instantly — Flakes Gone After One Wash!
I started noticing some flakes on my scalp and shoulders and decided to give this shampoo a try. After just one wash, the flakes completely disappeared — seriously impressive! My scalp felt clean, refreshed, and not dried out like with some other anti-dandruff shampoos.What’s even better is that even after I stopped using it, the flakes never came back. It clearly did something right! The scent is pleasant, and a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts quite a while.If you’re struggling with sudden dandruff or flakiness, this shampoo is absolutely worth trying. It worked faster and better than anything else I’ve used. Love it!
