CeraVe

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you’re experiencing dandruff, there could be a few reasons. Common causes of dandruff include excess oil on your scalp, a fungus known as Malassezia, and certain haircare products. As for hygiene, it’s actually a myth that poor hygiene causes dandruff. 


    If you aren’t sure why you’re seeing flakes on your scalp, speak to your dermatologist or doctor. They can help you develop a personalized plan, which may include using a shampoo for itchy scalps and adjusting your hair-washing routine.

    *with regular use of Anti-Dandruff Shampoo + Conditioner

  • Dandruff shampoo can be safe for color-treated hair, but it all depends on the specific formula. Both the CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and CeraVe 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner can be used on colored strands.

  • To manage dandruff at home, we recommend using a dandruff shampoo for itchy scalps with a coordinating conditioner, like our Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. Beyond using the right products, it’s important to find the right hair washing frequency. How often you should suds up can vary based on your hair type, hair texture, and lifestyle. If you have oilier strands, you may need to wash daily, whereas a few times a week may be sufficient for drier hair types.

  • While not all shampoos for dandruff are intended for daily use, the CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo can be used every day. The formula is formulated to be gentle on your hair and scalp, and when paired with the Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner, it leaves hair feeling soft and nourished.

  • CeraVe haircare products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, and MIT (a preservative sometimes found in cosmetics). This is true of our anti-dandruff formulas, as well as the CeraVe Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner.
