Good shampoo that doesn't strip hair or dry out the scalp. My hair is coarse and fine, thinning grey hair. It has a great leather, no heavy scent, and a good bottle. It doesn't make my hair limp or oily, even on the third day. One note is I found that my wavy ends need a little more moisture so I use the hair conditioner too. Read more

I have 4c, low porosity hair. This shampoo and conditioner combo works great. The shampoo is gentle on my scalp, but keep in mind I don’t have sensitive skin. I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s hydrating but I can confidently say it doesn’t dry/strip my hair or scalp out right out of the shower. It seems like a balanced formula. I like that it’s fragrance-free too. The conditioner could use a little more slip to make detangling easier. That’s one improvement I think could be made. Overall it’s a simple, effective, and budget-friendly. Read more

As a chemically sensitive person I have to be especially careful with hair products. This product has no smell to it at all. This shampoo is wonderful. It is light and leaves my hair feeling clean and soft. We love it! I don't know how long this product has been available but I am going to be using this shampoo all the time. Read more

Wow! Saved my scalp and hair! I have 1/2a/2b hair—fine, medium density, low porosity, and protein sensitive, with a very sensitive scalp. I used to use Head & Shoulders (I tried everything they offer) or Dove’s Dryness & Itch Relief dandruff shampoo. Both contain zinc pyrithione, and heavy-handed synthetic-smelling fragrance. Yuck. They both also left this gross residue on my hair, where my hair felt both dry and greasy. Double yuck. And my head would still get itchy by the next day! Triple yuck! So... not exactly a win-win for any part of my head. But I'd tried so many shampoos and these were the best options :( On the other hand, this CeraVe Hydrating Shampoo is fragrance-free, doesn’t contain zinc pyrithione and leaves my scalp itch-free all day, every day (!!!) and my hair clean and bouncy. I don’t know how they did it, but I’m so grateful!!! 🙏 You have no idea. I was going insane trying to find something that would work for me. I tried SO MANY shampoos and conditioners. I thought Target was going to ban me from how many I had tried and returned. CeraVe also worked well in both hard and soft water for me. Obviously it performed better in soft water, but in hard water I successfully paired it with a clarifying shampoo and chelator (as needed): L’Oréal’s Hard Water Clarifying Shampoo and MalibuC Hard Water packets. I had to be careful with that combo though. It did a great job at stripping my hair clean, but if I used it too often, it absolutely wrecked my scalp. I now have softened water, and I pair the CeraVe shampoo with L'Oreal's Curl Conditioner or L'Oreal's Restore Conditioner (aka their hard water conditioner) and that's been working very well for me. If I need to clarify every so often, I just shampoo twice with the CeraVe shampoo, and that does the trick. Anywho, I recommend giving this shampoo a shot! Hope it works for you too! And CeraVe.... DO NOT STOP MAKING THIS AND DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMULA. Read more

I like the CeraVe brand for their lotion and face soap and was interested in trying this shampoo and their conditioner. I decided to try the shampoo first to see how it did with my hair before investing in the conditioner, too, just in case I didn't like it for some reason. I ordered the conditioner right after using the shampoo. It hydrated my hair so well and it felt like my scalp and hair was so clean. I was actually able to shampoo twice and did not feel like it stripped or bothered my hair at all to do so. It made my hair look thicker and have more volume. I am sensitive to scents and did not get bothered at all by this shampoo. I have had everyone in the family try it and we all love it and feel our hair is healthier with it. Hope that helps.
