CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo, With Ceramides, Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid For Soft, Healthy Looking Hair & Scalp, Sulfate Free & Color Safe Shampoo, For All Hair Types, 12 Oz

Wow! Saved my scalp and hair!I have 1/2a/2b hair—fine, medium density, low porosity, and protein sensitive, with a very sensitive scalp.I used to use Head & Shoulders (I tried everything they offer) or Dove’s Dryness & Itch Relief dandruff shampoo. Both contain zinc pyrithione, and heavy-handed synthetic-smelling fragrance. Yuck. They both also left this gross residue on my hair, where my hair felt both dry and greasy. Double yuck. And my head would still get itchy by the next day! Triple yuck! So... not exactly a win-win for any part of my head. But I'd tried so many shampoos and these were the best options :(On the other hand, this CeraVe Hydrating Shampoo is fragrance-free, doesn’t contain zinc pyrithione and leaves my scalp itch-free all day, every day (!!!) and my hair clean and bouncy.I don’t know how they did it, but I’m so grateful!!! 🙏 You have no idea. I was going insane trying to find something that would work for me. I tried SO MANY shampoos and conditioners. I thought Target was going to ban me from how many I had tried and returned.CeraVe also worked well in both hard and soft water for me. Obviously it performed better in soft water, but in hard water I successfully paired it with a clarifying shampoo and chelator (as needed): L’Oréal’s Hard Water Clarifying Shampoo and MalibuC Hard Water packets. I had to be careful with that combo though. It did a great job at stripping my hair clean, but if I used it too often, it absolutely wrecked my scalp.I now have softened water, and I pair the CeraVe shampoo with L'Oreal's Curl Conditioner or L'Oreal's Restore Conditioner (aka their hard water conditioner) and that's been working very well for me. If I need to clarify every so often, I just shampoo twice with the CeraVe shampoo, and that does the trick.Anywho, I recommend giving this shampoo a shot! Hope it works for you too!And CeraVe.... DO NOT STOP MAKING THIS AND DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMULA.

The new CeraVe Gentle shampoo and conditioner are a godsend. Unlike other unscented hair products I've tried (and I feel like I've tried them all), these are high quality and actually work better than even (scented) high-end salon products. They've tamed the frizz of my fine, wavy hair after just a few uses. The shampoo doesn't have some of the additives that make products feel luxurious, but it does a great job and rinses clean. My hair feels soft and healthy, and looks better than it ever has. I tried the conditioner first, liked it, and then bought the shampoo. Using both products has made a huge difference. This is great stuff, and the lack of scent is a life saver!

Surprised I like it so much. I generally trust Cerave as a brand. Ive used a lot of their lotions and washes, and they work how they say they will. I also appreciate that Dermatologists usually recommend Cerave products as well. AND Im also getting tired of how expensive salon quality shampoo/conditioner is getting these days. The affordability of this product, and the trust i have in the brand, swayed me to give this new shampoo a shot.And its surprisingly great!I mean i can do without hyaluronic acid in everything nowadays, but the full length of my hair does feel moisturized! And I feel like it built up a good lather without needing to use too much product, and my scalp feels good so far. its just a good basic shampoo, with typical shampoo smells, that cleans hair well, and is priced so everyone can benefit. And i like all that. I wash every 5-7 days and have thick, dense, frizzy, henna dyed, hispanic hair down to my mid back if that helps at all too.

I might have loved this shampoo more a few years ago, when I rarely shampooed my hair, cause so many shampoos irritated my scalp. It is very gentle, and doesn't foam much (which indicates there aren't many surfactants).I recommend this for anyone who has a sensitive scalp, because it does not have SLS and other harsh surfactants. For the price, it is absolutely worth trying. I also think this could help people with very oily hair -- as that oiliness is often caused by the scalp over-correcting for being stripped of its natural oils.Its thick consistency out of the bottle does make it harder to spread all over my hair, and it doesn't quite feel like it leaves my hair truly clean. Because it is so thick, I also end up using much more than other shampoos, though lately I have put on a pea-sized amount on each quadrant of my head, and that does seem to avoid wasting so much. My hair is short, though, and I assume on long hair and/or thick curls it might even be harder to work it in so it really gets to the scalp.It is unscented, which is great, but it does mean there is a bit of a soapy smell on it -- it's not bad, but it is not exactly something I enjoy.It definitely is color-safe -- even my semi-permanent fantasy colors stay put much more with this than with other shampoos.I do need to add a clarifying shampoo to my routine once a week with this shampoo, as it just doesn't seem it gets my hair very clean. I have to remove a lot of stuff from it, since now that it's short I have to use styling products. I think that I would have liked this much more when I still had long curly/wavy hair that I rarely applied any styling products to.
