Neutrogena Therapeutic Salicylic Seborrheic Dermatitis Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "After the first few uses, I noticed a clear reduction in scalp build-up."
• "This stuff works great!!! I’ve been struggling with product build up and dandruff, after just ONE use my problem was solved."
• "This shampoo allows me to go a little longer in between washes. I have psoriasis along my hairline and this seemed to be very helpful in treating it."
• "It worked very well as a clarifying shampoo and removed every bit of oil from my scalp."
• "Immediately upon his first wash, the dandruff was gone."
• "Love this product. Definitely helps my scalp with dry skin."
• "I was looking for a shampoo to help remove buildup from my scalp that would cause painful acne... it has tamed my inflamed scalp acne and I will be adding this to my regular hair care regimen."

Cons:

• "This was recommended by my doctor, but made my dandruff worst!"
• "So this does not help at allFor dry scalp or dandruff waste money."
• "The most horrible shampoo I have ever used. It made my dandruff increase dozens of times."
• "But, this isn't the answer for me. It doesn't work, and there is no discerning difference from a $5 bottle of anti-dandruff shampoo compared to this $30 one. Waste of money for me."
• "Used this almost in its entirety and it did nothing for my dandruff."
• "This did not help my dandruff at all."
• "Anybody need salt because that’s what falling from my head. After using this product my dermatitis became way worse and my scalp became way dryer."

Scent and Sensitivity

Pros:

• "It doesn’t smell like the Black Tar T gel, which is nice."
• "It doesn't have an unpleasant odor like many psoriasis and eczema shampoos."
• "I know some dandruff shampoo has a horrible smell, but this one has quite a great smell!"
• "For those sensitive to fragrances, this shampoo's lack of added scents is a thoughtful consideration."
• "Unlike other shampoos this one doesn't have much of a scent to it. If it does have any kind of scent it's very mild."
• "Has no smell."
• "The scent is alright not very good."

Cons:

• "It doesn't have a great smell."
• "I usually wash my hair with normal shampoo afterwards because I find the smell of this stuff awful."
• "The smell is horrible."
• "It lathers well but the smell is not the best."
• "Lastly, the fragrance is slightly medicinal and takes some getting used to."
• "After just one wash I could tell a difference. After the second wash (the next day) I applied, scrubbed and let it sit for somewhere around 5 minutes in the shower before rinsing it out. I can’t smell ANYTHING! It’s totally gone!"
• "While the smell isn't great, it's also not overbearing."

Value and Packaging

Pros:

• "The bottle is small, but a little goes a long ways."
• "Also - I've paid DOUBLE at some local stores, so Amazons price point is very fair!"
• "It's great for the price, and it's a bigger travel-sized bottle."
• "Good price."
• "I use this shampoo usually once a week to remove all the stuff I put in my hair. It does the job."
• "I’ve noticed a significant decrease in flakes and I itch my scalp 85% less."
• "I always condition after using this and my hair now feels amazing."

Cons:

• "The product is high price for the small quantity provided."
• "High price."
• "The bottle size (4.5 fl. oz) feels somewhat small given the price point."
• "The tiny little bottles are an annoyance as well. Not sure why this product is not offered in a standard size bottle."
• "These are VERY small bottles! Half the size of a regular (already smallish) Neutrogena shampoo."
• "It’s smaller than the nizoral shampoo, about the size of a creamsicle ice cream bar."
• "The bottle is really small. The shampoo is difficult to apply - it doesn’t foam much."
