What the gurus are saying
Zinc pyrithione shampoos work by reducing the yeast that causes dandruff, and gurus praise this formula for being unusually gentle and fragrance-free compared to most medicated options on the shelf. The blend of ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid means it hydrates while it treats, making it especially suited to anyone with a dry or irritated scalp alongside dandruff. Gurus note it's also affordable, safe for colored hair, and may support scalp health for hair growth. For mild flaking, apply two to three times a week, letting it sit for five minutes before rinsing.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
