Clever Soap 1% Piroctone Olamine Anti-Dandruff Shampoo With Salicylic Acid - Suitable For Seborrheic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Folliculitis & Itchy, Flaky, Sensitive Scalp & Hair - For Men & Women

I'm black-biracial with type 3C/4A hair. I found this to be a fantastic shampoo that did wonders for my scalp. Using the double shampoo method works best for me; one quick shampoo and rinse to get any surface grease off, followed by another thorough shampoo to really work it into the scalp and hair. The second time requires much less shampoo because there's no build-up that clings to the soap. I wash my hair once (occasionally twice) a week. I've tried all manners of treatment for my dry, flaky scalp and I have extremely sensitive skin in general, so using harsher products only seemed to make things worse and completely dried out my hair in the process. I had great success with Clever Soap's Piroctone Olamine face wash and decided to give this a go. It's a lot more gentle on my scalp, doesn't leave any strong fragrances behind, and lasts a good long while. On top of that, I could see the effects less than a month into use. I have continued to purchase and will be doing so again once I've run out. My only gripe would be how similar the bottle looks to the face wash counterpart; there should definitely be better distinction visually between the two products. I've mistakenly used the shampoo on my face a couple times in the shower after placing the bottles next to eachother.

2nd purchase of this product. It is brilliant for getting rid of flaky, itchy scalp. Very good for my hair.

It’s a good shampoo but the active ingredient is not as effective as I’d hoped it would be. Perhaps because it’s not strong enough, or perhaps the ingredient is not what my scalp needs. I can’t say for certain. It cleanses very well and does not strip the hair too much.

I have seen a dermatologist for years been given prescriptions for ointment and shampoo for my seb-derm. I first tried the face wash and moisturize which worked brilliantly and my face hasn't completely cleared up yet but I've only just started using it and already it's better than any prescription had been. So I did an experiment with my prescription shampoo and this one (ok this sounds unhygienic but...) with the prescription shampoo it gets irritated and itchy within a day or two after washing. With this shampoo it took an entire week for my scalp to start getting irritated and itchy again. That was after the first time using it! I am now using it regularly and 100% worth the price this is all I use now the shampoo the face wash and moisturiser for my neck upwards. Would love for there to be a Conditioner and maybe a full body wash too!

Clears up my dandruff that flares up from frequent exercise when alternative anti dandruff shampoos fail

Didn’t really do anything for seborrheic dermatitis though if you just have some mild dry or itchy skin could be good as a preventative

An excellent face wash for a family member with seborrheic dermatitis . Skin has improved with this product.

I have to use quite a lot to get my hair clean, and it doesn't lather very well. It's not great for oily scalps and has actually made my scalp itchier than before.
