What the gurus are saying

The experts who tested it found the formula strikes a rare balance: it tackles dandruff with zinc pyrithione while still conditioning hair, which matters because those two things often work against each other. Those with dry hair or scalp sensitivity may find this gentler than typical anti-dandruff shampoos. One thing to keep in mind: check the ingredient label before buying, since some batches contain a sensitizing preservative that the gurus recommend avoiding; look for versions without methylchloroisothiazolinone.

"If you have super dry hair and want something even more nourishing, check out Dove DermaCare Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. Of all the shampoos with zinc pyrithione, this one is probably the most nourishing. It still contains the active ingredient zinc pyrithione to fight dandruff, but as you're rinsing it through it is quite conditioning for the hair."

"I loved it. It's the anti-dandruff shampoo and the anti-dandruff conditioner both with zinc pyrithione, which is a wonderful ingredient for dandruff because it helps calm down that overabundance of malassezia. It's anti-inflammatory. I've been using this since the beginning of the year, around January. In addition to the zinc pyrithione, both the shampoo and the conditioner have coconut oil, which is really good for the hair. You have to read the ingredients really carefully though because I found some versions of this have that preservative in it that I don't recommend, the methylchloroisothiazolinone. Those preservatives are pretty sensitizing and have a high rate of contact dermatitis. I try and avoid them as much as possible because they are so sensitizing. These don't have that."
