Neutrogena Exfoliating 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

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 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?:I’ve been using neutrogena scentless anti residue shampoo for as long as I can remember, but it’s been discontinued. This is not a perfect replacement, but the mild grapefruit scent does note irritate, and I like it. The value is good and I’ll be buying more to stock up.

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.

Awesome buy!! I got this cause my hair was super oily and my scalp was very flaky this helped so much!! I wash my hair twice a week and just the top of my head with this. A few drops goes a long way...

One of the biggest complaints of my own self is how naturally oily (some use the word "greasy") my hair gets. I'm the type of person who absolutely has to wash my hair every. single. day. If I miss just one day, my hair looks literally wet as if I dunked it in a sink of hair gel, or just took a swim- it is "that" bad. In my younger years (I am currently middle-age) there were some days I had to shampoo my hair twice in the same day to maintain a clean look and feel. I learnt later in life that changing my hair products would make a tremendous improvement in fixing this. Back in 2015 I accidentally discovered Neutrogena's clear Anti-Residue Shampoo (which is no longer available) and fell in love. Immediately, mere hours after using the shampoo, I noticed how "light" and airy my hair felt against my neck, shoulders, and face!! My hair stayed fresh ALL DAY! I have never had to double shampoo in a single day since. That specific shampoo has since been discontinued, but it doesn't matter because Neutrogena came out with this better one, this one I'm reviewing here. I have been using this Neutrogena Exfoliating Healthy Scalp Clarify & Shine Shampoo for many years now, and I will never go back to any other shampoo again. Period. If you are somebody- male or female- who struggles with the appearance and feel. of "greasy", extra oily hair you are going to want this Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Clarify & Shine. Please trust me. I've been there and know. You can thank me later!
