Dermazen Cleansing Scalp Therapy Shampoo for Seborrheic Dermatitis, Reduce Flakes, Soothe Itching and Improve Scalp Health

Let me start by saying that if you have seborrheic dermatitis, you've come to the right place. I'm sure that, like me, you have looked EVERYWHERE and tried EVERYTHING to clear up your scalp. And sometimes a new shampoo will work for a while, and then it...doesn't. Issues come back, frustration and gnashing of teeth ensues. Enter: Dermazen. If you haven't already, go to their website and download their free ebook. It's worth its weight in gold. There are a lot of factors that can worsen seborrheic dermatitis, and they do a great job outlining different things you can do in addition to using their products. That being said, the science behind the shampoo is revolutionary, plus I find that the formula doesn't irritate my scalp. So here's my caveat: Dermazen's shampoo is amazing. BUT. In my experience, you can't think of it as a standalone shampoo; I use it more as a treatment shampoo. Here's my hair-washing process: 1) thoroughly wet my hair 2) I start by deeply cleaning my hair with Purezero's tea tree & matcha shampoo. It's a clean/allergen-free/natural shampoo with scalp-friendly ingredients that really cleanses my scalp and hair but doesn't irritate it. PLEASE NOTE: I've tested it, and using Purezero alone does NOT clear up my seb dem. That's where Dermazen comes in... 3) thoroughly rinse Purezero from hair 4) SHAKE the Dermazen shampoo bottle well. This is key to mix the ingredients up every time you use it! It separates and if you don't shake it, it's super watery. 5) Work a generous amount of the shampoo into the scalp and use a scalp scrubber brush to work it in. 6) let the shampoo sit for several minutes as recommended 7) rinse well 8) condition with Purezero tea tree & matcha conditioner (don't get too close to the scalp) The key here is that pre-cleanse with another shampoo; it helps work some of the dirt & oil out of my hair and then I find Dermazen can really get in there to "treat" my scalp. Initially, I tried using Dermazen on its own but I had to use 1/2 the bottle to get the right amount of cleansing and my hair still didn't feel super clean. It's a low sudsing shampoo which I appreciate, but I personally find that this simple 8-step process works best for me. :)

Expensive but works if you follow the directions. I also used a silicone scrubber that worked well with this. The smell is also nice.

Expensive and ineffective. If i could i would give 0 stars

I was fighting and itchy scalp for months, tried a dozen other shampoos before I found this one. I had red scaley patches that were starting to bleed and I got relief as soon as the first wash, the patches were almost noticeable after the 3rd. It does lose a star for being so watery, it doesnt lather very well and for someone with long thick hair I'll be lucky to get 6-7 washes out of such a small bottle and its pretty expensive for not going very far. But again it did work for my almost immediately in a pretty extreme circumstance so there's some give and take there.

I only did the shampoo because I wanted something that would properly clarify my scalp to calm it. This dried out my scalp- dandruff instead of scales from seborrheic dermatitis. All the edges of my hair had dried flakes. I used this three times over two weeks thinking it needed time. It’s a different type of itchiness from being overly dry. This was very disappointing because there wasn’t balance as I had hopped. The product is very liquidy which is good to get to the scalp. You have to shake it up as it states. The scent is minty and not off putting to me. It kind of smells like Pine-sol cleaning product now thinking of it. The cost was very high not to get the results for which I had hoped. Perhaps someone experiencing the really, really bad flare ups (which I have experienced and had to be prescribed Ketoconazole 2% shampoo) would find relief. Or perhaps using it in tandem with their serum would work but with these prices and already being disappointed, I won’t be doing so.

Ok so I told myself I wouldn’t write a review until I found something that worked. Well I’ve been losing my hair close to 4 months now. My scalp has been hurting and burning so bad. I’ve tried numerous products. I tried Nizoral shampoo, rosemary oil, zinc shampoo, head and shoulders, vitamins such as biotin iron saw palmetto zinc pumpkin seed oil spearmint. I was very skeptical at first because it’s pretty expensive and the last thing I wanted was another product that didn’t work! I’m using the shampoo and the over night serum. I will say this product is kind of greasy. I have to re wash my hair with another shampoo after using this. I don’t recommend using the over night serum unless you have time to wash your hair the following morning because it does leave your hair greasy as well. It smells kind of minty. Overall this product does work and my hair has stopped falling out and my scalp is not hurting any more. Hopefully on the road to regrowing my hair back out! I will say the rosemary oil does help with hair growth! Don’t give up! It took me 4 months to find a solution after going to 2 drs and visiting a dermatologist twice with no help.

I was a bit skeptical about this product working but after using it for a few months now, I can honestly say that scalp issues are clearing up. Ensure that you shake the bottle well before using to mix ingredients. The first two times I used it without shaking, I found that it was very watery and saw no results. After finally reading the bottle and shaking it, I immediately saw results. I also wash my hair with a clarifying shampoo before I use this product. I haven’t had that intense itching like I used to have before using this shampoo.

Great product; it works! Helps to keep the scalp clear of buildup. No flakes or scale. The cost is worth it, IMO. I use some of the other accompanying products in the line for the best results.
