I have a really itchy and dry scalp, I must use a anti-dandruff shampoo all year long.
I have tried this shampoo for a few weeks and can say it works well as my dandruff didn’t appear again.
I feel that the shampoo doesn’t smell anything though but for a shampoo, it doesn’t matter so I will still buy it.
I like a conditioner that smell nice thought so will use a different conditioner.

This shampoo was used in combination with the matching Essano conditioner & left to air dry for the final results shown in my photo. I didn’t love the scent like the skincare products but it isn’t horrible & definitely an improvement on the smell of other anti-dandruff brands.
Like all the Essano products I found a little goes a long way & for my medium-long hair I only used 2 pumps of shampoo on a good day, 3-4 on a really oily day if I skipped a wash.
I don’t generally get dandruff but if I wait too long between hair washing I do get a little bit & an itchy scalp so after using it normally for a week I deliberately waited most of a week to get my hair really oily & had no flakes or itch so I would call this a success

This has a really nice minty smell, definitely has helped with my dandruff and itchy scalp – but has also made my hair feel very dry! I am struggling to decide if I am happy to put up with dry hair so that I can have a lot less dandruff and not be itchy. Overall I like the product but would be even happier if it didn’t dry my hair out.

Does what it says but really stripped my colour.

My daughter and I loved our soft and silky and frizz controlled hair after washing with this shampoo and the matching conditioner. We normally use a frizz controlling product after showering otherwise for the first day after shampooing our hair is too frizzy for our liking. We didn’t have to use the extra product while using this shampoo which was great. Not a sign of dandruff using these products. Normally we have to be quite careful with the product we use and will sometimes swap back to head and shoulders for awhile but it does well at controlling it. It applies really easily. Generally don’t like pump bottles though as you can never use the last of the product in the bottle. Didn’t think the smell was very nice, especially given the mandarin deodorant product smell in the deo and the pleasant smells in the face products. But the smell didn’t hang around afterwards so that was fine.

Leaves my scalp feeling refreshed and it did tackle the mild dandruff I had. Lightweight and wasn’t too heavy for my hair. Unisex fragrance.

Nice smelling shampoo that cleanses quite strongly: this appeared to strip a lot of moisture from the hair so has to be used with a conditioner (I wouldn’t use as a stand alone product).

Another product that I’m really enjoying. I just love the smell and the feel of this product. The only thing (as with the conditioner) that stops me from buying it again is the size of the bottle. When you have long thick hair and you double shampoo, you need big bottles so that you are not having to restock all the time. I also found the pump to be a bit too limiting. I use a lot of shampoo so found myself stood pumping in the shower for too long.

Seemed to do the job! Didn’t irritate my husband’s very sensitive scalp, and seems to work as well as his usual anti-dandruff shampoo. My teenaged son thought it smelled and worked ok, too. Neither my daughter nor I liked the smell, however – smells too much like cleaning products!!
Not a fan of the pump lid, however the clip would be good if you had to take it travelling (or had an inquisitive toddler in the house).

This has helped in conjuction with conditioner to help my dry scalp, great pump bottle, but I assume it’s going to be a pain to get the last of the product used up. I do tend to wash twice as I don’t get a great lather the first time

My hair is very picky as the scalp can be dry and flaky yet the hair can be oily and heavy. I have only ever found 2 shampoo and conditioner brand that works perfectly on my hair, unfortunately, those are NOT it.
I haven’t had flaky scalp for a couple of years but switching to this shampoo instantly brought the flake back. Though not as bad as the majority of other shampoos on the market, only some flake at the front, but still not living up to my standard. It’s called anti-dandruff, one would have hoped for no dandruff.
The conditioners will have its separate review but I would like to briefly mention here that it makes my hair greasy much faster than my current hair routine.
I also don’t like the smell. For a product with natural ingredients, it smells a lot like many of the chemical filled shampoos on the shelf. I’m so used to the gentle smell of my shampoo bar, I don’t like it. But it fades fast so I don’t mind it too much.
The only pros would be that my hair looks great right after drying up, which doesn’t usually happen.

I loved this product & the conditioner the most out of all the products in the essano box. After only 3 washes, the results were clear that the product does what it says it does. My scalp felt refreshed & my dandruff prone hair soft & silky. I had some scale but after just 5 uses, my dandruff has nearly gone. Very happy.
