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.

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.

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!

My 8 year old has really oily hair but this shampoo gets rid of it all. The biggest downfall is the scent. It smells like grapefruit, but it also smells like cat pee in my opinion. Hopefully they develop a different scent.

never have oily hair again, leaves my hair soft, smells like grapefruit, lathers really well, does it's job so it's very effective, never using any other shampoo. the size is small for the price but i guess it's worth it.

I LOVE this to clean my hair and scalp. There is a grapefruit scent to it. I always use a conditioner with every shampoo so I would recommend that if you have a dry scalp. You can hear the "squeaky" clean noise with your hair so I would make sure to add conditioner, oils, or whatever you add to keep your scalp from itching. I have not ever had that issue, but my hair is pretty oily.

I have oily hair and have been trying to find a shampoo that will help with that. I had high hopes for this shampoo after seeing some reviews. Sadly, I think I will have to continue looking. The shampoo itself does a good job, gets my hair clean and leaves it soft and shiny. It also does seem to be less oily by the end of the day; however, the smell of this shampoo is terrible. Like, it's so bad that I'm not sure I can keep using it. Instead of a pleasant fruity grapefruit scent, it smells like a rotting grapefruit with a mild undertone of cat urine. It's bad, so, so bad.

Great shampoo! It smells lovely and does what it promises. I will be buying more in the future.
