Amazon BasicsMoisturizing Dandruff Shampoo, 11 Fl Oz, Pack of 1

I was pleasantly surprised by the Amazon Basics dandruff shampoo. It lathers nicely, has a clean scent, and most importantly, it really helps keep dandruff under control. My scalp feels refreshed and less itchy after each wash. The bottle is a generous size for the price, making it a great value compared to the bigger name brands. I’ll definitely keep buying this—effective and affordable!

I recently tried the Amazon Basics Moisturizing Dandruff Shampoo, and I’m genuinely impressed. It uses 1% selenium sulfide—the same active ingredient in pricier brands—but costs a fraction of the price. The shampoo lathers nicely, and the addition of aloe really helps keep my hair soft instead of stripping it dry.After just a couple of uses, I noticed less itching and fewer flakes. It didn’t leave my hair feeling crunchy; instead, it rinsed clean and left a light, fresh scent. One thing I liked was the moisturizing feel—I didn’t need an extra conditioner afterward, which saves time and money.A few weeks in, the dandruff hasn’t come back, and my scalp feels healthy. If you’re dealing with flakes or itchiness and want something effective without being harsh, this shampoo hits the sweet spot.

Had a bad case of SebDerm in my eyebrows. Pretty embarrassing spot to have dandruff. My routine is usually to comb and scrape off the flakes as best as I could before applying topicals to cool it off. This works but tends to lead to relapse with more flares and flakes after a while. I've tried shampoos and cleansers with pyrithione zinc, but never selenium sulfide, so I figured I would give it a go. This stuff is no joke. For half the price of Selsun you get a giant bottle. It smells great and is really thick and greasy feeling. Redness and itching was totally gone after 1 use and I haven't noticed even a speck of dandruff since. I'm glad something does what it says for a change.

Update: I gave a third star because the green finally came all the way out. So no permanent damage. Still, it was an all-night ordeal...and the smell still lingers.I gave it 2 stars because it's cruelty free and does what it's supposed to. In fact, it's the only affordable dandruff shampoo I found that is cruelty free. Big props for that. However, there were two very bad things:1) The smell. Three rounds of shampoo and conditioning mask later, I can still smell it so strong I can taste it. And not just in that dandruff-shampoo-is-smelly sort of way. This stuff is strong.2) As I stated in the title, the lightest parts of my hair are mint green -- even after repeatedly scrubbing etc. I understand that people want their product to look like what they're used to but maybe cut down on at least half the coloring agent. You just can't mess with a woman's hair like that! I'm hoping a fourth round gets the rest of the green out.One thing I noticed though was that the first time I put on a conditioning mask after using the dandruff shampoo, my hair felt like it was crying with relief. My skin too. If anything drastic happens like my hair falling out I'll come back and update -- but honestly it can't be that bad. Right??

Works just like the name brand! Smell and consistency is slightly different but nothing major. Doesn’t dry out my hair!

Works great. I tried many different shampoos for dry itchy scalp and nothing worked. This shampoo works and it is cheap. Great price for great results. Highly recommend.
