Only shampoo I can use

I have had itchy scalp for over 15 years. I have spent $$$$ trying shampoos, conditioners, etc. I was about to purchase another bottle of shampoo that I had used with OK results when I read reviews and one review suggested that Free and Clear was better. So I tried it. I have used now for about 2 years and would not consider trying anything else. I still have some itchy scalp but if I also use Moroccan oil on my scalp after each shampoo then follow by Free and Clear hair gel then my problem disappears. So I have dry scalp. But the conditioner is too much for my oily hair. I know it is odd to have oily hair and a dry scalp but I am odd. I love Free and Clear hair spray also, even though I would like for them to come up with a better sprayer. I use a spray bottle that I have had for years and cannot replace it. I hope this review helps others searching for an answer to issues.

Not good for dry hair!

I wanted to like this shampoo and conditioner. My dermatologist recommended this brand as I have very sensitive skin and scalp, and problems with eczema and sebhorretic dermatitis. I like the fact that these products are fragrance free, but after using for a month my hair is drier than ever, brittle, and thinning/not happy. I’m switching back to my original shampoo/conditioner that I’ve users for 10 years, and head and shoulders clinical strength for when my scalp is itchy. I do not recommend these products if your hair is normally dry/damaged.

Solution to my irritated scalp

For years I had itchy, dry, dandruff, uncomfortable scalp. It wasn’t until it started to get infected when I saw the dermatologist. He required me to stop all products/shampoos and only use this. It’s been 15 years of irritated scalp... and now I have no problems because of this product.

Not great for dry scalp

I dont know if anyone else will have the same results as me but I didn’t really like this. It’s a yes for people who don’t like fragrance, but it left my hair feeling stripped and rough with dry scalp still there.

Shampoo and conditioner

!!! These are great for anyone with sensitive skin and face, I break out on my forehead from certain chemicals found in traditional shampoos and conditioner. The shampoo feels like it drys out your hair but the conditioner is great, it’s good for curly hair it makes it super duper curler then it straightens out a little

GREAT shampoo

Vanicream products are truly the best! This shampoo works wonderfully to cleanse my hair without stripping it, and also doubles as a great gentle face and body wash. For reference, I have straight, fine, normal to oily hair (as in, starts looking oily about 24–36 hours after washing) and dry/combination eczema-prone skin. I don't even need conditioner since my hair is rather short, but I imagine people with longer and/or drier hair would want to use conditioner. I just wish it came in a larger bottle! Maybe with a pump?

Thank you

Thank you for putting a product on the market designed for people who have sensitive skin, or other health issues where they simply cannot use products that contain certain ingredients. No worrying about a formaldehyde releaser in this shampoo. Vanicream has kept their promise and delivered. Thanks so much.

best shampoo for allergic people

I have always had allergies to shampoos. This is the very first one I ever had that didn't make me itch at night. I am a half century old and finally I have a shampoo for life!

Cap clogs up

I have been very happy with this shampoo after trying many other unscented products. My only complaint is that the cap is constantly clogged up and must be taken off and rinsed periodically with a strong jet of water. It doesn’t make any difference if I leave the cap open or closed.
