Full details
The CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner is ideal for individuals seeking a dermatologist-developed solution to manage scalp irritation, flaking, and itching while maintaining hair moisture. This dual-action formula effectively treats dandruff with 1% pyrithione zinc while nourishing the scalp with essential ceramides, making it a convenient choice for those with dry or sensitive scalps; however, users should be aware that while it cleanses effectively, those with extremely oily hair may find the hydrating properties more intense than traditional clarifying shampoos.

Troubleshooting
Scalp irritation persists after several uses
Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist, as you may have a sensitivity to an ingredient.
