Neutrogena Exfoliating Healthy Scalp Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Hair & Scalp, Pink Grapefruit pH-Balanced Anti-Residue Formula Adds Shine, Sulfate, Paraben & Phthalate-Free, Color-Safe, 12 Fl Oz

I've been using this shampoo for about a week, washing my hair every other day. This is my first time trying it, and so far, I'm pleasantly surprised. First of all, the scent is amazing, fresh pink grapefruit that makes your shower feel energizing. It lingers in the hair for a while after washing, which I really enjoy. The texture lathers really well; it's not too thick or too thin, just the right consistency. I don't need much product to cover my long hair (past my shoulders), so the bottle should last a good while. The bottle itself is lightweight and easy to handle in the shower. As for how it cleanses the scalp, I can't yet speak to long-term results, but I can say it definitely helps reduce itching and discomfort. I have a very sensitive scalp, and I haven't experienced any irritation or allergic reaction, which is a big plus for me. Overall, a solid shampoo at a fair price. It feels gentle, smells great, and does the job without stripping or causing issues. Would recommend for anyone looking for a simple, effective everyday cleanser.

Great product! First, the scent. This shampoo captures the wonderful, fresh, sweet, invigorating scent of grapefruit. Second, the performance starts with lush suds. And finally, it actually does what is says. I bought it to address my perimenopausal oily hair. After a lengthy search, I discovered this shampoo and wont stray. Dont be fooled by trendy and expensive shampoos. This is safe for your hair but will tame the oil for at least 2 days and the scent is magnificent. A trident and true brand to back it up. Thank you Neutrogena.

Size: The 12 fl oz bottle is a great value. It’s slim enough to store easily in the shower, but lasts a while—even with regular use—since a little goes a long way. Functionality: It lathers up quickly and rinses out clean without any leftover residue. The pointed tip makes it easy to apply directly to the scalp for a deep clean. Great for those who use a lot of hair products or dry shampoo throughout the week. Pain Relief: Not designed as a medicated product, but it definitely helped relieve that itchy, heavy feeling that comes with oil and product build-up. My scalp feels fresher and less irritated after every wash. Relaxation: The pink grapefruit scent is so refreshing and energizing without being overpowering. It makes my morning showers feel like a little spa moment. The clean feeling afterward is also super satisfying. Strength: It’s gentle but highly effective. I’ve noticed significantly less oil at the roots and my hair stays fresher for longer between washes. It exfoliates without stripping my scalp or drying out my ends. Bonus: It’s color-safe and doesn’t fade dyed hair. Color: The shampoo itself is a pretty, light pink—matches the grapefruit theme. The clear bottle also makes it easy to see how much is left. Final thoughts: This shampoo lives up to its promise. It clarifies without being harsh, smells amazing, and leaves both my hair and scalp feeling truly clean. Perfect for oily scalps, product build-up, or just a weekly detox. Highly recommend adding it to your hair care routine!

There’s really not much difference with this shampoo compared to others that I used. My hair turns oily afterwards about the same time as other shampoos. Will say that the shampoo has a really strong scent and I can still slightly smell it even after drying my hair. The color of the shampoo is clear.

I have been taking better care of my scalp and hair since my last baby three years ago. I noticed my hormones made my head itchy and highly uncomfortable. I would scratch but it wouldn’t stop. I would check for lice and nothing was found. I tried so many shampoos from anti fungal to head and shoulders. The head and shoulders works most of the time but after awhile, it doesn’t do its job. That’s when I use this product. A clarifying, residue stripping, gentle cleanse that starts my head back at fresh again. It’s such a game changer for me. It smells amazing, works like a charm at removing months of build up and keeps my scalp from the dreaded itch. I only wish I knew about this sooner. The way I use it is once every month or two. I can tell when my hair starts becoming more oily, heavy and not its lightweight puffy mane. Whenever it begins to feel unreasonably itchy, I use this for my hair washing (sometimes twice in a shower!) and follow with my regular H&S conditioner. Then, I don’t have to wash my hair for at least 7-10 days. Which is a true testament to how well this formula works. It doesn’t dry my hair out at all. It is the most gentle formula I’ve ever tried and again, the citrus smell is my favorite. I firmly believe this has high value for money as one bottle lasts me half a year. I haven’t yet had any issues with the bottle leaking but I’m not exactly traveling with it either. If I must travel, I’ll either shower with it the day before or use a small travel bottle. So I cannot speak in the bottle leakage bit. Overall, I will be coming back for more. As for you, I honestly don’t know. But I had a great experience and it would be worth trying if you had any of the issues I did.

Best shampoo for greasy hair! A little bit goes a long way and remove excess oils, better than any other clarifying shampoo I’ve tried with my teenage daughter

I love this product's fragrance but wish it wasn't such a pain to work it into a lather and onto your scalp. The gel is a clear kinda pinkish color like the color of the bottle. The easiest way to lather is to dispense gobs of the stuff, 2-3 times more than your average shampoo. I tried really hard to use a more typical amount but had great difficulty getting any shampoo onto my scalp. I had to use more shampoo than I expected and often I had to lather three times to get my scalp clean. I finished the bottle but didn't notice any damage to my hair. But I just gave up on it. Neutrogena has just gone to town pumping this product with gel. Comparison of clarifying shampoos - I usually use these every 3-4 days with dry shampoo in-between. All of the shampoos left my scalp in similarly clean condition but some required extra lathering. I rarely use conditioner but when I did, I used the Redken Acidic Bonding Conditioner the mate to the Redken shampoo. For most of these shampoos, I used "a palmful" of shampoo to get enough lather down on the scalp. The Redken required a dime sized drop. A palmful is easily 4x but probably closer to 5-6x a dime sized drop. Neutragena clarifying shampoo.- lovely grapefruit scent. This shampoo was startlingly thick but even with a palmful, I had a difficult time lathering. Working the shampoo down to the scalp was not easy. I often ended up adding more shampoo to the roots or lathering 3x. Ultimately, it was a hassle and I gave up on it. Didn't cause significant damage (1-2 inch ends snapping off) with only one bottle. One bottle lasted about 5-6 weeks. VO5 clarifying shampoo - same trick as Neutragena, a very thick gel. Requires a full palmful to work it into the scalp. Usually I have to lather up three times to clean the scalp. It only costs $1.25 from the Dollar store but being forced to use such large amounts obviously drives the cost up by at least 4x. This shampoo dried out my hair and 1-2 inch pieces started to snap off halfway through the bottle. One bottle lasts about 5-6 weeks. I've concluded this shampoo is also too much work to bother with. One bottle lasted about 5-6 weeks. Suave clarfying shampoo - this shampoo cost me $2 bucks plus some change from Target. It too has a thick gel-like consistency but there's more detergent. It lathers up easily with a palmful of shampoo and can clean the scalp consistently with only two lathers. This shampoo does damage the hair but it takes longer than the VO5. One bottle usually lasts about 2 months or a bit more. Aveeno clarifying shine and shampoo - thick gel-like consistency but with enough detergent that it lathers up easily. Unfortunately, it seems to have a lot less cleaning power than any of the other shampoos. It's leaving a residue on my scalp. I've checked this by using the Suave 2x, then the Aveeno 1x. There is definitely something on my scalp after this. My scalp gets oilier much faster anytime I use the Aveeno. Since the whole point of using a clarifying shampoos is to clean my scalp to the max, I don't see any point to using the Aveeno. It's probably best for someone who has dry hair and wants to wash products out. Redken Acidic Concentrate Shampoo - a white gel, on the thinner side compared to the other shampoos. Easier to work into a lather and onto the scalp. Very concentrated, use only a dime sized drop. Most of the other shampoos "a palmful" is easily 4x but more likely 5-6x a dime sized drop. Cleans scalp lathering 2x. Does not damage the hair even after 6-9 months of continuous use. Half of a 33 oz bottles lasts 6-9 months. Of the low-cost shampoos Suave stands out. The price comparison between Suave puts it ahead of Aveeno and Neutragena because they are clearly more expensive per use. Both cost more and you get less per bottle. The Redken stands alone ahead of all the competition. The price per bottle also stands ahead of the competition at about $65. Adjusted for amount of shampoo per use, if we divide by 4, the effective price of the Redken is dropping rapidly to $16 for equivalent usage. The bottle is also 33.8 oz significantly larger than all the rest. The Suave is the next largest bottle at 22.5 oz. The Aveeno is 12 oz. I'm not even going to try for any kind of mathematical accuracy and just say that Redken has 50% more so the price for similar # of uses is about $10. Using these seriously back of the envelope estimates, it's starting to look like the highest performance, highest price bottle may be only a few bucks higher than the Aveeno or Neutragena for the same number of shampoos. At this point, I quit. No more experiments, I'll stick with the Redken. ***** One of the classic scams is to act like a responsible seller... at first... build up a customer base (gather many stars), then yank the rug out from under you. Looks like there's a lot of this going on. I've started checking the lastest reviews to make sure the seller remains honest.

I have oily hair, need to wash daily. This shampoo let me go two days instead. Takes out the oil but isn't overly drying. It also removes product buildup. Your conditioner will work better after using this. My only tiny complaint is the smell. Very acidic grapefruit smell, but its only while using it. The smell doesn't stay on your hair afterwards. I will be stocking up on this shampoo for sure.

Everything is nice about this shampoo but I found it odd about the grapefruit flavor smell abit odd and possibly not to everyone liking.

I tried it for like two months, and man it's good, I am a young man, my hair has medium length, super greasy, the smallest effort, work, gym, walking or stress would create an oil factory in my head and this one definitely did the job of cleansing it. But it does dry out the hair if you wash daily like I do. So I still had to use a conditioner, one from OGX with apple cider vinegar. They work like a charm

Llego en buenas condiciones. Excelente shampoo con fuerte aroma a toronja, bueno si tienes cabello graso, deja el cabello limpio y manejable

Good one

beware! this shampoo left me with sores all over my scalp, maybe just really intense/ might be alright if you have a very oily scalp but do not use if sensitive!! also it exploded a little when shipped and first opened
