What the gurus are saying

This shampoo stands out among zinc pyrithione formulas for being notably conditioning even as it tackles dandruff, which means those with dry hair get relief without the usual drying trade-off. The zinc pyrithione calms the yeast overgrowth behind dandruff and reduces inflammation, while coconut oil adds extra nourishment to the hair itself. One thing to check: some versions contain methylchloroisothiazolinone, a preservative with a high rate of contact dermatitis, so read the ingredient list carefully to avoid that one.

"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."
