discontinued everywhere
Brilliant shampoo, shame its been discontinued by the company itself
Really works
Takes a couple of washes but it really works. Strong smelling but we dont mind that, wouldnt be without it.
Terrible smell
I bought the same shampoo in the 125ml bottle. It worked well and my husband was very pleased, he said it had a very nice smell. Now I bought the same shampoo in the 250ml bottle, it has a completely different smell and my husband didn’t like it. I can’t quite understand how they can be so different.
Yay! So glad it\x27s back!
I am so glad Ocado are stocking this shampoo again! It's the only thing that keeps my dandruff (horrible, like cradle cap!) in check. Don't even need to use every wash, just once a week for maintenance once clear. I actually like the smell
The very best shampoo for treating dandruff
I am very happy that this item is back in stock. It is the best shampoo for treating dandruff and keeping it at bay. It is well worth the money in my opinion.
Be patient
I've had serious psoriasis on my scalp for many years and had given up on a proper treatment. However, during lockdown I decided to take the time to try this.... and it has really worked for me. You do have to be patient and will need plenty of conditioner as its quite harsh (and can leave a slight smell afterwards). But I've used a little for a few weeks and its gradually worked. The biggest thing for me is that its reduced my urge to scratch my scalp, which obviously only makes matters worse.
