NeutrogenaExfoliating Healthy Scalp Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Hair & Scalp, Pink Grapefruit pH-Balanced Anti-Residue Formula Adds Shine, Sulfate, Paraben & Phthalate-Free, Color-Safe, 12 Fl Oz

I have been taking better care of my scalp and hair since my last baby three years ago. I noticed my hormones made my head itchy and highly uncomfortable. I would scratch but it wouldn’t stop. I would check for lice and nothing was found. I tried so many shampoos from anti fungal to head and shoulders. The head and shoulders works most of the time but after awhile, it doesn’t do its job. That’s when I use this product. A clarifying, residue stripping, gentle cleanse that starts my head back at fresh again. It’s such a game changer for me. It smells amazing, works like a charm at removing months of build up and keeps my scalp from the dreaded itch. I only wish I knew about this sooner. The way I use it is once every month or two. I can tell when my hair starts becoming more oily, heavy and not its lightweight puffy mane. Whenever it begins to feel unreasonably itchy, I use this for my hair washing (sometimes twice in a shower!) and follow with my regular H&S conditioner. Then, I don’t have to wash my hair for at least 7-10 days. Which is a true testament to how well this formula works. It doesn’t dry my hair out at all. It is the most gentle formula I’ve ever tried and again, the citrus smell is my favorite. I firmly believe this has high value for money as one bottle lasts me half a year. I haven’t yet had any issues with the bottle leaking but I’m not exactly traveling with it either. If I must travel, I’ll either shower with it the day before or use a small travel bottle. So I cannot speak in the bottle leakage bit. Overall, I will be coming back for more. As for you, I honestly don’t know. But I had a great experience and it would be worth trying if you had any of the issues I did.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This shampoo is great for oily hair even if you shampoo after 2 days of not washing. Highly recommend.

I actually love this product and have ordered it before but this time it opened during transport and spilled out. I was directed to Neutrogena support and submitted my concern. I hope they will replace it for a new unopened bottle.

This shampoo smells amazing! I don’t find it overly exfoliating, but it’s the first type like that I’ve ever tried, so I don’t have much to compare it to. It gets the job done. Decent size, trusted brand. Not sure how good it is to use regularly on color treated hair-so I only use it once in a while. I’d definitely buy again.

It arrived exactly what i ordered, i am satisfied with the product, it is of good quality, i would definitely buy it again.

I love this product's fragrance but wish it wasn't such a pain to work it into a lather and onto your scalp. The gel is a clear kinda pinkish color like the color of the bottle.The easiest way to lather is to dispense gobs of the stuff, 2-3 times more than your average shampoo. I tried really hard to use a more typical amount but had great difficulty getting any shampoo onto my scalp. I had to use more shampoo than I expected and often I had to lather three times to get my scalp clean.I finished the bottle but didn't notice any damage to my hair.But I just gave up on it. Neutrogena has just gone to town pumping this product with gel.Comparison of clarifying shampoos - I usually use these every 3-4 days with dry shampoo in-between. All of the shampoos left my scalp in similarly clean condition but some required extra lathering. I rarely use conditioner but when I did, I used the Redken Acidic Bonding Conditioner the mate to the Redken shampoo.For most of these shampoos, I used "a palmful" of shampoo to get enough lather down on the scalp. The Redken required a dime sized drop. A palmful is easily 4x but probably closer to 5-6x a dime sized drop.Neutragena clarifying shampoo.- lovely grapefruit scent. This shampoo was startlingly thick but even with a palmful, I had a difficult time lathering. Working the shampoo down to the scalp was not easy. I often ended up adding more shampoo to the roots or lathering 3x. Ultimately, it was a hassle and I gave up on it. Didn't cause significant damage (1-2 inch ends snapping off) with only one bottle. One bottle lasted about 5-6 weeks.VO5 clarifying shampoo - same trick as Neutragena, a very thick gel. Requires a full palmful to work it into the scalp. Usually I have to lather up three times to clean the scalp. It only costs $1.25 from the Dollar store but being forced to use such large amounts obviously drives the cost up by at least 4x. This shampoo dried out my hair and 1-2 inch pieces started to snap off halfway through the bottle. One bottle lasts about 5-6 weeks. I've concluded this shampoo is also too much work to bother with. One bottle lasted about 5-6 weeks.Suave clarfying shampoo - this shampoo cost me $2 bucks plus some change from Target. It too has a thick gel-like consistency but there's more detergent. It lathers up easily with a palmful of shampoo and can clean the scalp consistently with only two lathers. This shampoo does damage the hair but it takes longer than the VO5. One bottle usually lasts about 2 months or a bit more.Aveeno clarifying shine and shampoo - thick gel-like consistency but with enough detergent that it lathers up easily. Unfortunately, it seems to have a lot less cleaning power than any of the other shampoos. It's leaving a residue on my scalp. I've checked this by using the Suave 2x, then the Aveeno 1x. There is definitely something on my scalp after this. My scalp gets oilier much faster anytime I use the Aveeno. Since the whole point of using a clarifying shampoos is to clean my scalp to the max, I don't see any point to using the Aveeno. It's probably best for someone who has dry hair and wants to wash products out.Redken Acidic Concentrate Shampoo - a white gel, on the thinner side compared to the other shampoos. Easier to work into a lather and onto the scalp. Very concentrated, use only a dime sized drop. Most of the other shampoos "a palmful" is easily 4x but more likely 5-6x a dime sized drop. Cleans scalp lathering 2x. Does not damage the hair even after 6-9 months of continuous use. Half of a 33 oz bottles lasts 6-9 months.Of the low-cost shampoos Suave stands out. The price comparison between Suave puts it ahead of Aveeno and Neutragena because they are clearly more expensive per use. Both cost more and you get less per bottle. The Redken stands alone ahead of all the competition. The price per bottle also stands ahead of the competition at about $65. Adjusted for amount of shampoo per use, if we divide by 4, the effective price of the Redken is dropping rapidly to $16 for equivalent usage. The bottle is also 33.8 oz significantly larger than all the rest. The Suave is the next largest bottle at 22.5 oz. The Aveeno is 12 oz. I'm not even going to try for any kind of mathematical accuracy and just say that Redken has 50% more so the price for similar # of uses is about $10. Using these seriously back of the envelope estimates, it's starting to look like the highest performance, highest price bottle may be only a few bucks higher than the Aveeno or Neutragena for the same number of shampoos. At this point, I quit. No more experiments, I'll stick with the Redken.*****One of the classic scams is to act like a responsible seller... at first... build up a customer base (gather many stars), then yank the rug out from under you. Looks like there's a lot of this going on. I've started checking the lastest reviews to make sure the seller remains honest.
