What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise the product's efficacy at controlling dandruff and treating underlying scalp inflammation without the drying effect typical of dandruff shampoos. The formula is lauded for being skin-friendly and multipurpose, usable on face, beard, and body. The applicator tip is polarizing: reviewers appreciate its precision for targeting the scalp but note it can be stiff to dispense. A minor split exists on the applicator design, though all reviewers affirm the product's strength and low product-per-use ratio.

"Remedy for dandruff, I mean it's either out or it's not. We'll see. This is actually the coolest product we worked on. We worked on this for a really long time and we could not find a lab that would make it for us but we finally got it."

"This does help keep my dandruff under control. I also use it as a face wash. If you ever feel like you get dry skin in your ears, behind your ears, along your nose and your beard, you also can use it as a face wash. You can use it as a body wash. Let it wash your feet. This has so many benefits beyond just the simple dandruff shampoo. And for me leaves my hair feeling extremely clean. Often times now at the end of the day I'm like extremely grungy and I just want to feel very clean and this just leaves my scalp and hair feeling like clean clean. So I love that feeling. Extremely unique product. I personally don't use it every day. I use it twice a week when I'm rotating it with my other shampoo. And so you can use it less often, especially if you're using it for dandruff and for hair density support like I am."

6 DERMATOLOGIST CLEANSING HACKS TO IMPROVE YOUR SKIN
"I'll just use Remedy for Dandruff in my hair, find my ears to get this in your ears, your beard, and it really does a great job of keeping it at bay. With Remedy for Dandruff, we formulated it to be like a scalp health product. So it's not formulated like shampoo, but it's not formulated like a traditional shampoo. So no fragrances, no irritating surfactants, no common preservative allergens. And so it is really kind of scalp and skin friendly in that way. So if you're looking for something that has these ingredients but isn't going to be just made for hair, which some of those products are really not great for the skin, that is definitely a product there."

"This product treats the root cause of the problem, which is the yeast that causes the underlying inflammation. What makes this product so unique is the active ingredient being salicylic acid and the complimentary ingredient ketoconazol. I've been waiting for this product for years. It's definitely something I'm going to use regularly for myself because all of my shampoos over the last 15 years have been dandruff shampoos. It took a long time to formulate and stabilize this product because you're taking ingredients that have never been formulated together, and it's also fragrance-free and our first shampoo. We looked at the entire market and the last three decades of dandruff products, and universally there's only four ingredients that are used to treat dandruff: selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, ketoconazol, and salicylic acid. This product is truly innovative in the space."

"You don't need nearly as much product with this than I do with other shampoos. A little bit comes out as a gel, a thick gel, and the lather is really nice, it's like a rich lather. It's a really good experience in the shower as you're working it in. Afterwards, the quality of the hair is a question too. This was not nearly as drying as I thought it would be. Dandruff shampoos can be drying, but this I'd say is like kind of middle of the road, and for the strength and the efficacy I would have accepted a much more drying version of this, but it really is not."

"The applicator tip is the unique feature, this is both my most favorite and least favorite thing about this product. The reason I like it is because a dandruff shampoo's main goal is to get the product to the scalp and when you have just a traditional shampoo you're going to lose a lot of that product into and on the hair before it actually gets to where it needs to go. The tip helps it get there to be more effective. The reason I don't like the applicator tip is because it's kind of hard to push out. But I will say you don't need nearly as much product with this than I do with other shampoos. A little bit of this comes out as a gel, like a thick gel, and the lather is really nice. The quality of the hair is a question too. This was not nearly as drying as I thought it would be.

"Remedy for Dandruff should be a good option for you. It has 1.8% salicylic acid, 1% ketoconazole, niacinamide, and is fragrance-free with a unique applicator tip. I'll be using it for the foreseeable future."
