Q: Does this shampoo contain menthol or mint?

submitted by JB - 3 months ago
  • A: Hello JB! We appreciate you reaching out to us about Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo. Our formula is developed with dermatologists to be fragrance-free and does not contain menthol or mint, as we focus on providing a gentle experience for those with sensitive or itchy scalps. Instead of sensory cooling agents that can sometimes cause irritation, this shampoo utilizes 1% piroctone olamine to target the root cause of dandruff and three essential ceramides to help maintain the protective skin barrier on your scalp. To achieve the best results while keeping your scalp comfortable, we recommend massaging the product gently into the roots and allowing it to sit for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Q: Can I use for fungal acne on face?

submitted by T - 8 months ago
  • A: Hello T Thats an interesting question! Fungal acne, also known as Pityrosporum folliculitis or Malassezia folliculitis, is not true acne caused by bacteria. Instead, it's an overgrowth of a yeast called Malassezia on the skin. Dandruff shampoos are formulated to treat similar yeast overgrowths on the scalp, which is why some of their active ingredients can be effective against fungal acne. However, CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo - 12 fl oz has not been tested specifical on the face to treat fungal acne. We would recommend consulting with your treating physician first. We hope this information helps. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe!

Q: Is this gluten-free?

submitted by Momof4 - 8 months ago
  • A: Hello Momof4. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo - 12 fl oz. Most ingredients derived from grain sources are highly refined and retain no traces of gluten proteins. For less refined ingredients from natural sources, CeraVe has established strict limits on the level of potentially allergenic proteins. Since individuals exhibit a wide range of sensitivities to these proteins, if you have any questions or concerns you should discuss with your medical care provider. All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself. For products too small to accommodate the list, a separate ingredient list is available on the display unit in the store for your convenience. Since some ingredients are known by more than one name, we use the standard industry FDA-recognized names. A review of the ingredients that are listed on all of our products or packages will alert you to the presence of this type of ingredient.

Q: Is this good for daily use on a scalp with eczema?

submitted by SleepyShopper - 9 months ago
  • A: Hello SleepyShopper! Thank you for your question regarding our Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo and its suitability for daily use on a scalp with eczema. Our Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo is formulated to help relieve the symptoms of dandruff, including flaking, itching, and irritation, with ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide, while also containing essential ceramides to help restore the skin's natural barrier.

    Amazing and actually works

    This is literally the best product I’ve ever used for dandruff. I will never go back to another company again. I have gone through so many different kinds of anti dandruff shampoo and conditioner and nothing has touched the progress my scalp has made.

    Best Shampoo Ever!!

    This shampoo is quite literally my holy grail! I have a sensitive scalp and I get product buildup that turns into dandruff and psoriasis very easily. This shampoo does a better job of getting rid of my dandruff and keeping it away for longer than anything else I have used. Other dandruff shampoos might get rid of dandruff for a day or two - this one easily lasts for at least a week. Even better, my hair feels better after using this shampoo than literally any other shampoo I have used before - whether for dandruff or not. My hair has never felt so hydrated before I condition. I will literally never ever be without this again.

    Noticeably reduced my dandruff while keeping my scalp hydrated.

    I've been using this shampoo for about a month, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my dandruff. It cleans my scalp well without leaving my hair feeling dry. My scalp feels more comfortable, and flakes are much less. noticeable. I also like that it provides hydration while helping with dandruff.

    I really like this Cerave shampoo

    It’s a very good product. Cleans and leaves the hair soft and with a feeling of deep cleaning. I love it. It makes a pleasant foam, it is of light composition not as thick as I like and to me, who have dandruff, it leaves my scalp without residue.

    Hello Elsa. Thank you for sharing your experience with CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo - 12 fl oz: No Fragrance Added, Hypoallergenic, Paraben-Free, Contains Hyaluronic Acid. We're sorry to hear that this product did not help with your dandruff. For the best results with CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Scalp Care Shampoo (1% Pyrithione Zinc), the recommended frequency depends on the severity of your dandruff and your scalp's sensitivity: Standard Use: Use at least twice a week to effectively reduce flakes, itching, and redness. Daily Use: Because the formula is sulfate-free and pH-balanced, it is gentle enough for daily use if you have a very oily scalp or severe dandruff. Maintenance: Once symptoms improve, you can continue using it 1–2 times a week to maintain a healthy scalp barrier and prevent dandruff from returning. We hope this information has been helpful and we appreciate your honest feedback. Thank you for trying CeraVe!

    i’ve struggled so so long with dandruff and this product literally worked a miracle in my hair after one use. i used to use head and shoulders but it didn’t do much for my scalp. i was skeptical at first when this product claimed to get rid of 100% of flakes after one wash but it 100% did just that!! it left my hair so soft and smooth. i literally just got out of the shower and i’m still in shock…absolute lifesaver. now i don’t feel ashamed or self conscious or like my dandruff would never clear.. 🤧 pls try it

    I like this shampoo the most of all I have ever had. While it fights the dandruff, it still makes sure the hair is smooth, hydrated, and well maintained. The packaging is nice, and it is one of the best regarding price-quality.
