Most Helpful Positive Review

Amazing for seborrheic dermatitis!

I have suffered from seborrheic dermatitis my whole life. Outbreaks come in waves depending on the season, external factors like poor air quality, and my diet. My scalp will overproduce oil even though my scalp is flaking, and the end result is a greasy head of hair that is beyond itchy even though ...I just washed it less than 24 hours prior. I tried clarifying shampoos, I tried special utensils to rub at my scalp while shampooing, I tried exfoliating scalp masks, and I tried a DIY apple cider vinegar rinse. I did the DIY method three times. The first time, I didn't dilute, burned my scalp, and my scalp peeled off in chunks. The second time, I diluted it, and it worked perfectly. The third time, I diluted it the same as the second time and noticed no change, scratching my scalp like crazy only a few hours after rinsing it. I tried to find a professional brand that would replicate the effects of the DIY vinegar concoction. I saw how expensive this shampoo was but thought what the h - let's try it. I was so tired of scratching my scalp and then seeing gross gunk under my nails. I will say that it doesn't lather as well as some other shampoos, but it worked fine when I lathered between my hands before applying to my scalp. I also did not like the smell. It smelled like apple cider vinegar, which I don't find to be pleasant. However, the smell made me trust the ingredients/formulation more. I scrubbed at my head, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinsed and applied another conditioner brand to my ends. I'm now 18 hours from my shower, and my scalp feels as clean as ever. It's not oily or greasy, and I haven't scratched once. The bottle isn't too big, but I'm hoping I won't have to use this every shower in order to keep my issues under control. For now, despite the price and smell, I am a happier camper and would give it a full 5 stars.
