Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

The applicator tip earns mixed reactions: it delivers the treatment directly to the scalp for better effectiveness, but requires firm pressure to dispense. Gurus found it genuinely helps keep dandruff at bay and works well on related dry skin issues around ears, beard, and nose without the drying harshness typical of dandruff shampoos. Using it twice weekly alongside another shampoo, or rotating it in, appears to be how people get the most from it.

"They do an Anti-Dandruff Shampoo which is amazing. I'm not somebody that gets a lot of dandruff, but I do find I get product buildup and sometimes, particularly in winter, my scalp gets a little flaky. Nothing's ever worked. Most of the dandruff shampoos I've used before just strip and dry, kind of make the whole thing worse. This actually delivers. Doesn't strip, doesn't dry. Your hair still feels lovely after using it. It's phenomenal."

"I hate that. This is the first product that has actually worked to eliminate flakes, has improved my scalp health, and doesn't dry my hair out. It's genuinely amazing. They recommend using it every other day for the first 6 weeks, then that's almost like the treatment phase and then you go into maintenance and you can use it once a week thereafter, which is what I'm now in. [...] That salicylic acid actually works. For me, I like to use salicylic acid on scalp to prevent buildup."

"This has kind of been designed to be like an all-in-one medicated treatment that targets both dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. [...] It's kind of something that dermatologists have been recommending for years, but never existed in one bottle until now. Traditionally, if you struggle with dandruff, the advice was to rotate between two shampoos, like a salicylic acid one and ketoconazole to address the yeast. [...] The problem is switching back and forth between two shampoos is really annoying."

"Often times now at the end of the day I'm like extremely grungy and I just want to feel very clean and this just leaves my scalp and hair feeling like clean clean. So I love that feeling. Remedy for dandruff has ketoconazole. Extremely unique product, very often sold out. [...] I personally don't use it every day. I use it twice a week when I'm rotating it with my Garnier shampoo. And so you can use it less often, especially if you're using it for dandruff and for hair density support like I am."

"I'll just use Remedy Anti-Dandruff Shampoo in my hair. Find my ears to get this in your ears, your beard, and it really does a great job of keeping it at bay. [...] With Remedy Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, we formulated it to be like a scalp health product. So [...] it's not formulated like a traditional shampoo. So no fragrances, no irritating surfactants, no common preservative allergens. And so it is really kind of scalp and skin friendly in that way."

"A little bit of this comes out as a gel, like a thick gel, and the lather is really nice, it's like a rich lather. It's a really good experience in the shower as you're working it in. [...] This was not nearly as drying as I thought it would be. Dandruff shampoos can be drying, but this I'd say is like kind of middle of the road, and for the strength and the efficacy I would have accepted a much more drying version of this, but it really is not."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.
