Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo with 1% Ketoconazole, Fresh Scent, 7 Fl Oz

Off and on for years my son has had these sore spots on his scalp. When he was younger the doctor gave him a prescription shampoo that would clear it up. We moved several years ago and we have a well with very hard water. My son and I both started getting these sores on our scalps. His was much worse than mine, and worse than what it used to be. Normally just plain ol dandruff shampoo would clear his up pretty quickly, but that wasn't working anymore. I assumed that it had something to do with our hard water and mineral build up, since I started having the same issue.Even if I didn't have the sores, I would have dandruff really bad. We moved to a very dry climate from a very humid climate, so I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it. I'd actually had dandruff for a while before the sores started up. I would use dandruff shampoo to no avail. My hair had gotten very long and during the winter I would only wash it every other night. When I skipped a wash my scalp would be 10x worse!I have no idea what was going on with both of our scalps, but I decided to do some research and this shampoo was recommended. I ordered this and some selsun blue. He was using each one 2x a week, alternating days. I used this shampoo twice and mine cleared up and hasn't been back. I still use it occasionally, once every couple of weeks, and that's been enough for me. I'm not sure what we had going on, but it cleared things up fairly quickly. It saved us from having to make a trip to the doctor to get a prescription shampoo again.I just cut his hair today and his scalp looks perfect. He doesn't itch his head anymore, no more red sore spots, and no flakes. As I said above, he uses it a lot more than me, but even though I only use it every few weeks it seems to keep things at bay.It lathers really well even in our hard well water and it smells wonderful. It leaves my hair feeling clean and soft, and my scalp feeling healthy and happy. I'm very glad to have found this shampoo and I will definitely be ordering more when we get low. This will be a staple from now on!

After struggling with dandruff for years and cycling through countless "medicated" shampoos that barely made a dent, this one actually solved the problem. The active ingredient, 1% ketoconazole, is a clinically proven antifungal that targets the root cause of dandruff rather than just masking symptoms like flaking and itching. Within the first week of regular use, I noticed a dramatic reduction in flaking, and by the second week the itching and scalp irritation had all but disappeared.What sets this apart from drugstore anti-dandruff shampoos is that ketoconazole actually controls the fungus (Malassezia) responsible for dandruff, rather than just stripping the scalp or masking odor. It's the same active ingredient dermatologists recommend, which gives me real confidence I'm using something backed by science, not just marketing claims.The formula is also well-balanced — it's tough on flaking and fungus but doesn't leave my scalp or hair feeling dry, stripped, or squeaky. The fresh scent is clean without being overpowering, and it rinses out completely with no residue. A small amount lathers effectively, so the 7oz bottle lasts a long time even with regular use.I've since put this on subscription because it's a permanent part of my routine now, and the 5% subscribe-and-save discount makes an already reasonably priced product even better value. Between the clinical-strength active ingredient, the real results, and the price point, this is genuinely one of the best over-the-counter dandruff treatments on the market. Highly recommend to anyone who's tried everything else and still struggles with flaking or itching — this is the one that actually works.

After trying what feels like every dandruff shampoo on the market, Nizoral is the one I keep coming back to. It has been one of the most effective products I've found for controlling dandruff, scalp irritation, and itching.What sets it apart from many other shampoos is the ketoconazole. While other dandruff shampoos would help for a day or two, Nizoral seemed to make a real difference. Within a couple of weeks, I noticed far fewer flakes, much less itching, and a healthier-feeling scalp overall.One thing that surprised me was that it also helped an itchy patch on my chest. I started using a small amount there while showering, let it sit for a few minutes, and the irritation gradually improved. Obviously everyone's skin is different, but that was an unexpected bonus for me.The shampoo lathers well, has a clean scent, and you do not need much product per use. Even though it costs more than basic dandruff shampoos, a bottle lasts a long time because you only use it a couple of times per week.For anyone dealing with stubborn dandruff, scalp irritation, or itchy skin that may be related to fungal issues, this product is definitely worth a try. It is one of the few over-the-counter products that has consistently delivered results for me.

I bought this shampoo for my 2 sons who struggled with dandruff. The reason why they struggle with dandruff is because one likes his hair braided and the other has dreads which keeps a lot of dandruff buildup and this might not be for everyone but for them it does create a lot of danger of in their hair. I100% habe found the solution for heavy danger of buildup. This shampoo is amazing. It not only leaves your hair dandruff free sfter a wash, it also has a fresh scent andd it leaves your hair with some layer of moisture still in your hair do it doesn't strip it of all your natural oils. I highly recommend this danger shampoo.

* Disclaimer, this is a long review, but I'm so incredibly happy with the results that I want you to know how upsetting it was that nothing worked longer than a day until I bought this shampoo.I started getting dandruff in my late 20's. I'm 36 now. At first it wasn't bad and then it got noticeable to the point I was embarrassed. For reference I have really dark brown hair, thick and very long. I had literally tried every kind of dandruff shampoo and conditioner from stores to online to salon recommended. From $5 bottles to $35 plus. The only way they would remotely work is if I used them daily, but by the end of the day or next morning, I'd have the ugly white flaking or white piece stuck in the middle of a strand of hair. If I went two days without using them, it would be enough to notice even with my hair in a bun And headband. And I usually wash my hair every 3-4 days because I never needed to wash it daily.I randomly searched on Amazon again about a month or two ago for dandruff shampoo because now it was getting itchy and I was so upset every day to see my hair. I found this product with high reviews, Nizoral. I said to myself, I'm desperate and I'll try anything. I purchased it. When I first went to use it, it was super blue and I wasn't sure how it would leave my hair, but I scrubbed it all around my scalp, only one wash. Then I used my normal conditioner, Nexxus, not any kind of anti dandruff conditioner (because I have those too). I wanted to see what the Nizoral would do without also having to use an anti dandruff conditioner. And for another reference (there's a lot of these), I first used it after not washing my hair for about 3-4 days, with only using dry shampoo in between. I got out of the shower and didn't see white flakes. I let my hair dry naturally as I wasn't going anywhere and drying it is a 30-40 minute process which I don't like doing lol. But I love my long hair; it's a love/hate relationship.Anyways, back to this magical shampoo, I woke up the next morning and no flakes, no white stuck in strands of my hair, no grossness falling out of my hair onto my sink or clothing when I ran my hands through my hair or brushed it, nothing! I was so excited, but hesitant because I said let's give this the day test. Checked back at night, nothing. Checked the next morning, nothing. I went 4 days without one single flake before my head was a little itchy because of just needing to be washed.I repeated the Nizoral shampoo with my normal conditioner again, and same thing. Days and no flakes or itching. I literally cried I was so happy and couldn't believe the type of sorcery this product had bestowed upon my head.I am now on month 2 or 3 I think, and I use this once a week with my regular conditioner and the dandruff is just gone. And that is days in between without washing my hair. It also doesn't make my hair dry or feel gunky or anything. My hair is always soft and smells nice. I was worried something like this would give off a weird medicated kind of smell, but not at all!If you have dandruff and nothing has worked or your tired of having to use something every day in order for it to work, just stop and buy this. It's not even that expensive and I have had two months of use from ONE bottle; again with that reference, I have hair down to my bum that takes 40 fricken minutes to dry with a blow dryer because it's so thick.Hands down I would literally promote this shampoo anywhere, even though my dandruff has been a really embarrassing condition for me. I wish I had before and after photos, but my dandruff was pretty much gone after the first use. So I couldn't even get a before picture now and it hasn't come back.Seriously, if you made it this far, Just buy it!** Also, quick footnote, I do shower daily. I just don't wash my hair every day. It goes up in a tight bun on my hair days off in the shower, which usually will stay up the rest of the day because I work from home and between being a single Mom getting a 7 year old up and ready for school and morning chores and then working for 10-12 hours, I'm too lazy to style my hair. Now, I do use a normal dry shampoo in between hair washes. But I had that routine before I bought this product, so I know 100% the only reason my dandruff is gone is because of the Nizoral shampoo.*** Second footnote, I'm not being paid to write this nor was this some kind of promotional item I got to use to write about. I'm just that impressed and so happy with the results and I know there has to be someone else out there that is going through that struggle I did and I just want that person to feel the happiness I do right now.**** This is the longest review I've ever written in my life.

Alright, let preface this by saying, I am not a doctor or medical expert, I can only speak to the results, I myself have experienced.Back Story:So about 2 years ago, I started getting dry skin around my mouth, nose, eyebrows, and occasionally my ears and cheeks. It was pretty mild, so I never went to a dermatologist. However, before this time, never did I have to lotion my skin regularly, so this was a change for me.When this started happening, I used Aquaphor Healing Ointment (Advanced Therapy), and while it made me look greasy or like I was sweating for a couple hours, lol, it wore off enough, and would leave me looking normal the rest of the day. The only time my skin was really irritated was right after I would shave. However, dryness/peeling would get real bad if I did not at least lotion all those areas of my face after I showered. While I did some minor Googling about the issue, I was clearly too lazy to do anything about it, and the lotion solution sufficed for me. Dumb, I know.Anyways, fast forward to about 1.5 months ago. I started to notice a white growth under my left thumbnail that started to detach my nail from my nail bed. For some reason, this concerned me more than the dry skin on my face. So after Googling again, I found ti could be a problem with yeast growth under my nail. Then, I remembered reading that yeast growth could be causing my face problems. After connecting the dots, I decided to find a possible solution, to possibly kill two birds with one stone.After some searching, I stumbled onto Nizoral. After reading all the reviews, I was encouraged. I purchased this product and it has helped me tremendously. I could not be happier. It says to use it only every 3-4 days, which I say you should stick to, because I would use it on back to back days and it would seem to dry my skin out, but that could have been in my head.My Use:So, I know this is shampoo, but I almost treat it like liquid soap. I rub it on my skin/scalp and leave it there for 3-5 minutes. For my fingernail, I would lift it, since there was a gap and the nail was coming up. I put Nizarol directly in the ever so small opening between the nail and nail bed, and left it for 3-5 minutes. I am not sure if that was smart for the fingernail, but it worked for me.Results:TLDR: It worked everywhere, lol.Mouth/Upper Lip: This area was the worst of my dry skin issues. Like said, it was especially bad after shaving. Sometimes, my skin would be patchy red and inflamed after shaving, especially on the top of my chin and right below my lip. It would look gross for like an hour. In addition, when I did not shave, but did not lotion my skin, this area would eventually get pretty flaky before the end of the day. I also had issues with the corners of my mouth, especially after eating. My upper lip generally did not have any issues, but sometimes I would in very cold/dry weather.So, after using this product, I have seen a great deal of improvement. For the first time in almost 2 years, I do not have to lotion my face every single day. The patch below my lip still is not where I want it to be, but it is very much better. My skin feels dry after a shave, but now it does not look red or inflamed. It is getting better, and I think it will continue to get better. The corners of my mouth have issues if I do not lotion for 2 days or so, but they are much more minor to what they used to be. The minor issue above my lip is currently non-existent, however, we have not had any cold weather yet. This was the most noticeable problem I had with my dry/flaky/peeling skin, and I am happy to say, Nizarol has worked wonders. I now can use regular lotion instead of Aquaphor, which I still adore.Eyebrows: This was my second worse area, and I say eyebrows, but it was actually the area in between my eyebrows would flake worse than my eyebrows. I rub Nizarol into my eyebrows, in between them, and around my eye sockets. Nizarol has pretty much cleared up this issue, and I am thrilled Nizarol has basically eliminated the second worst dry area on my face. If I do not use lotion for several days, it does flake, but in a very minor way. Side note: be careful around your eyes, it burns pretty good if you get the shampoo runoff in your eye, lol.Nose/Nostrils: This was my third worst area. I would have dry skin on the sides of my nose, the point of my nose, and even on the inside of my nostrils! First off, putting Nizarol in your nostrils may not be safe. If you do do it, don't huff the Nizarol when it is in your nostrils, breath through your mouth. My nose area has improved, but is now more of an issue than my eyebrows. Still it is much better, and I can go a couple days without using lotion. It is also more of the inside of the nostrils than the outside of my nose. I think if I were willing to put Nizarol further up my nose than just the inside rim, I could eliminate the problem. But, at what cost? Lol. I don't want to ingest this stuff, lol. Either way, I am still happy!Head/Scalp: I have never had much of an issue with my scalp other than minor dandruff, for which I have always used Head & Shoulders. Despite this, I use this shampoo, as intended. I can not honestly tell if it is making any difference. Also, I have very short hair, so I cannot tell if this makes my hair coarse like everyone else says. If it does, I would use a conditioner like other reviews suggest.Ears/Earlobes: So, while it was more rare, but sometimes, my ear lobes and the bottom crease where the ear connected to my face would get dry and flake. I rub Nizarol on my ears, on the inside of my ears, and behind my ears/ear lobes. I have zero issues here now and never have to lotion this area any more.Forehead/Cheek Areas:These were not really problem areas unless it was cold/dry/windy. We have not had that type of weather, but I really do not think it will be a problem.Pelvic Area: I know this is a touchy subject, lol, but what I have to say is tame and could help some people. So several months back, something new happened, I noticed my pelvic area was dry as well, after using clippers. I used Nizarol in the creases of my leg, and in in my pelvic area, including directly on my -----. Results? Well, this has virtually eliminated the dry skin everywhere. Even better, I am chaffing less when running, which is awesome! I figured Nizarol was working everywhere else, so what the hell? Luckily for me, this was another minor issue it helped.Fingernail: Getting back to my fingernail, I had this white chalky/flaky formation under my fingernail. It had got to almost halfway down my thumbnail. It was causing my nail to lift. It did not hurt, but I thought it was unsightly. So I lifted the nail and put Nizarol in there. Again, possibly not safe, but a couple weeks in and my nail is almost back to normal. I eventually started cutting deeper into my nail to get the Nizarol farther back, which has worked. My nail almost looks normal and it looks like it is pushing the last of white to the font of my nail. So the growth stopped moving backward and it has improved. Another win!Others Uses?: As you can tell, I pretty much use this stuff all over. I put it on my elbows, the knuckles of my toes, and the point of my ankle bone. I think it is helping, but I am not 100% sure. What I can tell you is that it seems that it seems easier to get the dry skin off after applying the shampoo. A pedicure is on the docket and if I remember, I will update this review.Conclusion:Nizarol has worked way better than I could have hoped, and I did not even have to go to the dermatologist. I am hoping within a couple months, my skin will go back to normal. I am not sure if that will happen, but I love what Nizarol has done for me. I encourage anyone that has some of the issues I had to give it a try. Again, my issues were mild compared to some of the pictures I have seen, but I imagine if you are struggling with mild to intermediate issues, and you have not gone to a dermatologist, this could help you.I hope all this helps! Good luck!****Update: 7/25/2017***Fingernails: Nizoral completely fixed my nail problem!Face: So, when I first started using this product, I saw quite a bit of improvement. I no longer have red patches anywhere on my face. The only issue is that there have been diminishing returns. Nizarol has helped tremendously, but I still have dryness and dead skin issues. It is much more mild now, but still exists, however, I am grateful for the continued results.Scalp: Lol, I still cannot tell if this is helping or not. I still have minor dandruff. Nizarol has had no effect on my scalp as far as I can tell. Not a big deal for me though...

I want to share something I wish I had understood years ago about using Nizoral.Let me start by being completely fair: when it comes to fighting dandruff, Nizoral is in a league of its own. If your dandruff is severe, persistent, and tied to an overgrowth of yeast on the scalp, Nizoral can be incredibly effective. In my opinion, it has earned its reputation as one of the best anti-dandruff shampoos on the market. When my scalp gets really bad, it is still one of the first products I think of because it works.But there is another side to the story that I rarely see people talk about honestly.For me, the biggest issue with Nizoral has never been whether it works on dandruff. It does. The problem is what happens after.Every time I use it, my hair feels extremely dry afterward—almost like straw. My scalp feels tight, uncomfortable, and stripped. It is not just a cosmetic issue where the hair feels a little less soft. In my experience, it feels like the whole scalp environment gets thrown off balance. My scalp loses that healthy, comfortable baseline, and my hair becomes rough and unpleasant to manage. That post-wash feeling has always been the reason I could never stick to a full treatment cycle consistently.And that matters.Because with products like Nizoral, consistency is everything. A dandruff treatment only works well if you can actually keep using it the way you’re supposed to. But over the years, I found myself doing the same thing again and again: I would only reach for Nizoral when my dandruff became unbearable, use it a few times, get relief, then stop because I hated how my scalp and hair felt afterward. Then the dandruff would slowly come back, and the cycle would repeat.So even though the product was effective, the experience around it made long-term management harder than it needed to be.That is exactly why EarthShine stood out to me.What impressed me is that EarthShine is not trying to replace ketoconazole treatment. It is addressing a very specific and very real problem: the damaged, dry, tight, imbalanced state that often follows ketoconazole shampoo use. That is a pain point many users quietly deal with, but very few brands seem to understand clearly.EarthShine feels like it was designed with that exact situation in mind.After using Nizoral, I found EarthShine genuinely helpful in restoring comfort to my scalp and making my hair feel more normal again. It helps calm the dryness, reduce that tight stripped feeling, and support a healthier scalp condition in between treatment washes. Just as importantly, it works very well as a daily shampoo during the off-days. That may sound simple, but for anyone who has used Nizoral long enough, it makes a huge difference.Instead of trying to piece together a complicated DIY routine—one product for dandruff, another for moisture, another for scalp comfort, another for daily washing—EarthShine simplified the whole process for me. It became the missing link between treatment and maintenance. I could use Nizoral when I needed the heavy-duty dandruff control, then use EarthShine afterward and on non-treatment days to help my scalp recover and stay in a better state. In my experience, that combination not only made Nizoral easier to tolerate, but also helped me avoid the rebound pattern that used to happen when I stopped treatment too early.That is the real reason I wanted to write this review.I know it is a little unusual—even a little impolite—to mention another brand under a Nizoral-related discussion, and I do not make recommendations lightly. I used to be a dermatologist, and that professional background still shapes the way I evaluate products. I do not casually recommend products, especially in situations where the recommendation could come across as self-serving or distracting from another brand. But I also believe users deserve honest, practical guidance based on real-world experience.And the truth is this: if you use Nizoral, you also need to think about what supports your scalp before and after treatment. Killing dandruff is one part of the problem. Maintaining a healthy scalp so you can stay consistent is the other part.EarthShine solved a problem I had been trying to work around for years. It helped me move away from a frustrating patchwork routine and into something much more sustainable. That, to me, is what makes a product truly valuable—not flashy claims, but the ability to solve a real user problem with precision.So my honest takeaway is this:Nizoral remains a top-tier dandruff treatment.Its weakness is the harsh after-effect it can leave on the scalp and hair.EarthShine is one of the few products I’ve seen that directly addresses that weakness in a thoughtful, useful way.If you are someone who gets great dandruff control from Nizoral but struggles with dryness, straw-like hair, scalp tightness, or difficulty staying on schedule, I strongly encourage you to look into a support product like EarthShine. For me, it made the whole dandruff-management routine more realistic, more comfortable, and much easier to sustain.And that is why I believe it is worth recommending. Not because it is trendy, and not because it is trying to compete with Nizoral—but because it fills the exact gap that so many Nizoral users have been dealing with for years.

I purchased Nizoral Ketoconazole shampoo as part of my treatment routine for androgenic alopecia after learning that studies have shown ketoconazole may help block DHT and reduce hair loss associated with this condition. I currently use the shampoo about two times per week and apply it only to my scalp. I let it sit for around 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing it out so the active ingredient has time to work properly.One thing to know is that this shampoo can definitely be somewhat drying, which is why I personally would not recommend using it more than 2 to 3 times per week. Even though I cannot say for certain whether it alone is helping my hair loss because I am using several other hair growth products as well, I do believe based on the scientific research that it is an excellent supportive treatment for androgenic alopecia. It also works really well as a dandruff shampoo because I have not noticed any flaking or scalp buildup since using it.I also think this product is a great value because you get a very large bottle for an inexpensive price. The shampoo has a pleasant clean scent that is not overpowering, and it lathers very nicely. Even though the shampoo itself is blue, it does not affect the color of my hair at all. My scalp always feels calm, refreshed, and very clean after using it. Overall, this has become a permanent staple in my shower, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone dealing with androgenic alopecia, dandruff, or scalp irritation issues.

Good product

Needs continues usage or the dandruff resurfaces when stopped. Also use this "Ducray Kelual Squanorm Refreshing Lotion" along.

Great value for money. The bottle was much bigger than I expected, so it should last a while. I’ve struggled with dandruff for some time, and this shampoo was really soothing on my scalp. It’s easy to use, and the scent isn’t bad either. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase.
