Dry Scalp Shampoo for Very Dry, Itchy and Flaky Scalp - Anti Dandruff Shampoo with hydrating Vitamin B5 – Free from fragrance, soap and perfume 200ml

I have been using this shampoo for around two years for a very dry, itchy and sensitive scalp. Before using it, my symptoms were quite severe, with large visible dry flakes, significant irritation and itching bad enough that scratching was causing hair loss. I bought it because E45 is a trusted brand, it had good reviews, and it is fragrance-free. I use it twice a week, and after around a month I noticed a significant improvement. It reduced the itching, dryness and visible flakes, and the effects have continued between washes. It has also helped reduce scalp oiliness without making my scalp feel stripped or irritated. The shampoo feels gentle and soothing when used. It lathers fairly well, although in hard water areas I find I need to add a little extra water in my palm to help it foam. It rinses out easily and has a mild pharmaceutical scent, but it is not unpleasant and is much less noticeable than fragranced shampoos. After washing, my hair feels soft but slightly dry, so I would not describe this as a particularly moisturising shampoo for the hair itself. I have fine, dry, wavy hair and it does not cause irritation, but those with already very dry hair may need to use a conditioner or additional hair care products alongside it. The 200 ml bottle lasts a surprisingly long time. Mine typically lasts around four to six months with twice-weekly use, which makes it good value for money. Compared with other anti-dandruff shampoos I have tried, including Head & Shoulders, I find this much more effective for my scalp because it feels soothing rather than just treating flakes. I would recommend it to anyone with a dry, itchy or sensitive scalp looking for a gentle, fragrance-free option. If you have oily, genuine dandruff rather than dry scalp irritation, a different type of treatment shampoo may be more suitable.

My husband has struggled with a really bad dry, itchy scalp for a long time, and nothing we tried seemed to help. I honestly felt so sorry for him because it was constant and uncomfortable. I decided to give this E45 shampoo a try, and I’m so glad I did. There’s no real scent to it, which was a bit strange at first, but the results make up for it completely. After using it consistently, he hasn’t had any dry scalp, flakes, or itching at all. His scalp looks so much healthier, and he’s not scratching anymore. It’s gentle, lathers well, and does exactly what it promises. If you’ve tried other anti-dandruff shampoos without success, this one is definitely worth trying.

Used this product for the first time and certainly helped my itchy scalp l will reorder as and when l need to

Why have I never tried this before I’ve spent thousands on shampoo’s I’ve used every prescription type every tar one’s every expensive ones yet Nothing worked even shaved my head as was so bad!! I’ve had horrible thick scabby itchy scalp for most my life (I’m now 47!) & this this £5 something shampoo has literally cleared my scalp Completely!! Not a shred of dry itchy scalp not a dry flake in sight! Just a completely normal healthy scalp! I wish I had found this sooner I’ve been embarrassed for years about my scalp n how bad it looked I’ve just ordered my 2nd bottle ready for when this one runs out but still have plenty left just don’t want to run out lol!

Feels light and has a friendly scent. Waiting to see results after sometime

Average shampoo. It removes dirt, and makes my scalp much less itchy. However, my hair looks much worse than usual, frizzy and dry. Quite expensive.

Started using this after the price of Polytar shampoo skyrocketed after Brexit. It does the job well without the strong smell of polytar. I would definitely recommend this if you have a sensitive scalp/forehead and/or psoriasis.

The E45 shampoo does as it is advertised, it's stops an itchy scalp, especially in the heatwave we've been having I have been using it a bit more. I've always used this shampoo as it removes all white flaky bits from my head.

After learning I had some allergies , to what seemed like almost everything in shampoo, this was listed as one of the things that would safe for me to use. It leaves your hair super soft and has definitely improved my scalp health. Just wish it came in a bigger bottle!

Have been using this for months. Works well. No scalp irritation. No more dry scalp. Only slight downside is no fragrance.

Great product

My wife has sensitive skin in particular on her Skala. We found a product from Canada which worked great but too hard to get so tried E45 and it did the trick, Competetivly prices so happy to use this product from now on.

I was surprised at how well this shampoo made my scalp feel with the first use. I have extremely dry skin and eczema and struggle finding something that works for me. So far this I think this shampoo is going to help.
