I had been using a prescribed steroid based shampoo for years (decades) for seborrhea dermatitis. I haven't had to use it in over a year, after I started using this shampoo. The balancing serum is also wonderful. There is zero itchiness, and therefore zero scabbiness. A phenomenal formulation that I've never experienced in any other product.

It’s seriously Magical
It’s magical, I’ve been seriously searching for shampoo that cleans as well as manage. I don’t know how the Dr. does it. It’s magical the way the shampoo treats each hair follicle.

very soothing to my itchy sensitive scalp
with the first I could tell this shampoo felt different than any other I have used before! with the first use I got immediate relief from an itchy spot on my scalp due to a shampoo I had used prior that I must have been allergic to one of the ingredients. I am so grateful to have gotten the conditioner for free when I purchased the balancing shampoo. The two of them together have really made my hair so happy and healthy!! I am hooked! can't wait to try more of this product line! ingredients are SO IMPORTANT!
