CeraVe’s Anti-Dandruff products stand out because they combine proven anti-dandruff ingredients with moisturizing and skin barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Most other dandruff shampoos focus solely on reducing flakes, but CeraVe goes a step further by also nurturing the scalp, ensuring it stays hydrated and less prone to irritation.
Product Details
An effective haircare routine not only addresses the needs of your hair but also your scalp. While shampoo helps cleanse and remove buildup, conditioner plays an important role, too. It can help make your hair more manageable and boost hydration. If you’re dealing with flakes, it’s important to choose a dandruff conditioner that complements your anti-dandruff shampoo. We recommend opting for a sulfate-free formula that leaves hair feeling healthier.
CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner is a clinically-tested conditioner designed as part of a dandruff care system that eliminates up to 100% of visible flakes and also relieves itch and irritation.* Formulated with 0.5% pyrithione zinc, three essential ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, this conditioner was developed with dermatologists to be gentle on both your scalp and hair. It’s also pH-balanced, allergy-tested, and suitable for sensitive scalps.
Used alongside CeraVe’s Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo, the paraben-, phthalate-, sulfate-, and fragrance-free conditioner leaves hair feeling soft and healthy. This duo is suitable for all hair types, including curly and color-treated hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Should I use conditioner after anti-dandruff shampoo?
The CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo is designed to be used with the Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner. Start your shower routine with the shampoo, rinse it out completely, then follow with the anti-dandruff hair conditioner.
If you wish to streamline your routine, you can also opt for a formula that combines shampoo and conditioner into one, like the CeraVe 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner.
-
Is conditioner good for dandruff?
Conditioner can be an important part of an anti-dandruff haircare routine. Our anti-dandruff conditioner with 0.5% pyrithione zinc was developed as part of a system that eliminates up to 100% of visible flakes, in addition to calming itching and irritation.*

-
How often should I wash my hair if I have dandruff?
How often you should wash your hair will vary depending on your hair type and activity level. This holds true for everyone, dandruff or not. Those with fine or oily hair may need to wash more than people with curly hair or dry hair, for instance.
CeraVe haircare products can work into your routine whether you’re washing every day or a few times a week. They are all suitable for daily use, but it’s important to find the right frequency for you. With that said, our anti-dandruff conditioner formula (and shampoo) works best when used at least twice a week, or as directed by a doctor. -
Should you scratch dandruff before washing your hair?
When your scalp is super itchy, it can be tempting to scratch. But that doesn’t mean you should do it. Scratching your head may actually worsen irritation. To apply your shampoo, use the pads of your fingers to massage it onto your scalp—don’t use your fingernails.
-
Is dandruff conditioner suitable for color-treated hair?
CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner is suitable for color-treated hair. However, this may not be true for all dandruff hair conditioners. Make sure to check the label if you’re using a different product.
If you don’t have dandruff, try the CeraVe Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, both of which are also safe for colored strands.
-
Does CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner contain sulfates, parabens, or MIT?
All CeraVe haircare products are formulated without sulfates, parabens, and MIT (a preservative found in some cosmetics).
-
What is MIT and why do we formulate without it in our CeraVe products?
MIT is Methylisothiazolinone, a synthetic preservative used in consumer products to inhibit bacterial growth. MIT used at certain concentration has been known to cause allergic reactions in some people and we formulate without it for this reason. -
Why do we formulate our products without Fragrance?
Fragrance is often added to products to give them a pleasant scent. But fragrance chemicals can also be irritating and may cause allergic reactions in some people’s skin. Because of this, many dermatologists recommend using products that are fragrance-free. CeraVe products are formulated without fragrance for this reason.
