Reviews
- KWKatelyn Williams (The Curly S.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGreat for ALL Hair Types/Textures
I've dealt with scalp problems for quite sometime and nothing really helped. Throw in the fact that I have naturally curly hair (3C/4A) and many of the treatments dried my hair to oblivion.
This product is truly an all-in-one scalp treatment that has made my scalp do a complete 180, but my curls are not dried out after. I used it for 4 weeks consistently at every wash day I noticed such a difference after the first wash: the flakes were gone!
I highly recommend this product!
- TTroyVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoBest Shampoo I have ever used
I was part of the pre-launch consumer study. I have used all kinds of dandruff shampoos. Including prescription ketoconazole shampoo. Non of them worked as will as the REMEDY for dandruff. Firstly, it does not have a scent. So, it does not clash with other soaps and body washes. Second, it was very mild on my scalp. Many other dandruff shampoos irritated my scalp or dried it out. So, they may have treated the dandruff but, caused more problems than they solved! REMEDY, is fantastic. I saw improvements after only a few washes. I cannot recommend this product highly enough!
- CChrissyVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoThe best clean 🩵
I always do a double cleanse with Pantene Volume & Body and either an Rx Ketoconazole shampoo or L’Oreal Professionnel Volumetry (salicylic acid) shampoo. I often have an irritated scalp from seb derm and those combos have given me the freshest feeling scalp!
So, when I saw Dr. Shah had a new shampoo combining BOTH Ketoconazole AND Salicylic Acid, I immediately ordered 2! The packaging, is lovely! It’s sleek and easy to apply with the applicator, and it looks nice in the shower! I’m a big fan of the navy blue on this one!
As far as the formula, it is the perfect clear, gel texture. Those kind of shampoos always give you the best clean! I did my normal Pantene Volume & Body first, followed by Remedy for dandruff. I massaged it in with the little scalp massager (that I also purchased 2 of) and left it on for a few minutes, then rinsed. And let me tell you, I don’t think my scalp or hair has ever felt so clean! I followed up with Shu Uemura Silk Bloom conditioner, Pureology Color Fanatic spray, and the L’Oreal Airlight Pro dryer. And right now I feel like I have the best hair of my life! Results this good, make me look forward to wash days! Remedy for dandruff, Remedy for HEALTHY aging and Remedy for dry lips, just go ahead and buy 2 of each!
- WwahoonitoVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoUse as a Ketoconazole + SA facial cleanser instead
The product is easy to use. For a hair shampoo alone I may want to take a star off as it does not lather much at all. If you expect a foaming/lathering shampoo, this is definitely not one. It is also a very moisturizing shampoo, so don't expect a super-clean feel after rinsing it off. It feels like the shampoo equivalent of Cerave Gentle Cleanser. None of that is negative, but I hope I know that when purchasing the product.
The reason I think it deserves 5 stars is this is the first Ketoconazole shampoo that I find that I can put on my face without irritation! Using Ketoconazole and selenium sulfide provide great benefits to the skin and my condition, but both Nizoral and Selsun Sun burn my face off (although they are wonderful shampoos). This remedy shampoo is very unique as it includes all these ingredients but magically gentle enough for both the scalp and face.
One thing I don't like is (i) the cap is a bit loose and I worry it may crack soon, and (ii) the sticker connecting the cap and the tube left a super sticky mark that is not easy to clean. The opening is just right.
- EElaineVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoSqueaky clean hair, nourished scalp and it didn't dry my hair out...awesome!
I have a genetic skin condition on my scalp and have been offered Ketoconozole cream (which was too weak) and the shampoo (which was too strong ) and dried out my hair. I thought I'd give this a try and it was just right! I did use the scalp scrubber with it and followed the directions - washing and rinsing twice. It does form a lather, and moreso with the scrubbing tool. My hair which tends to be super oily, was made squeaky clean with this shampoo and my scalp felt soothed from the raw itchy feel it often has. I was worried it may make my hair too dry with it so squeaky clean, but my super fine, wavy hair was great - nourished and not frizzy. I'm super happy with this result and look forward to seeing if this helps my condition for the long term. This has provided a great option for my condition, so many thanks!

Our Remedy for dandruff is a targeted treatment for a common concern.
For my patients with dandruff (aka seborrheic dermatitis), I've always recommended rotating two different shampoos: one with ketoconazole, another with salicylic acid. But switching between products was burdensome and wasn't giving consistent results. A shampoo with both of these powerful ingredients didn't exist—so we created it.
