Smelly, but it works.

This stuff is strong and stinky, but it finally worked to get rid of my daughter's heavy dandruff. We kept working our way up through the concentrations and this is the one that did it for us. My daughter washes with another brand after to mitigate the smell.

So glad to see this back at Walmart. A doctor recommended the OTC Neutrogena product for me over the Rx he'd prescribed as it would work better for me. It was the only thing that really worked. I tried the Equate version at half the cost %26 it gave me the same result. When Neutrogena stopped making theirs, even the Equate disappeared. It may have been a wait %26 see decision or people like me were buying as much as we could find. I'm so glad to see it again! I was down to my lsst 2 bottles in the hold.

Long time favorite

I have a itching scalp but no dandruff. This is a decades old solution. I love the smell and nice clean hair. It treats many scalp conditions. I recommend it.
