I received this product in a beauty advent calendar. I get a dry scalp that can get itchy and this product sounded like it could be an answer for my dry scalp. Packaging is pretty basic really & price wise for a shampoo it’s expensive. Scent wise it smelt fresh. I applied it to damp hair and concentrating on my scalp I massaged it into a lather then rinsed it out. I don’t really get dandruff which is also what this shampoo helps so can’t comment on whether it gets rid of it, I just suffer with dry, itchy scalp. It did feel gentle on my scalp but didn’t particularly improve my dry scalp and it still was itchy a bit. It did leave my hair soft and shiny and more manageable however it wasn’t anything special and did what most shampoos I’ve tried did. I do appreciate that it should be used daily until your scalp is clear but I only wash my hair a couple of times a week so maybe if I had used it every day I may of noticed an improvement. I wouldn’t recommend this product neither would I repurchase it I’m afraid.

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with sensitive, olive tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is light brown, dry with normal texture.
Cleansing and clarifying, this anti-dandruff shampoo has been specially formulated to remove the irritation and potential embarrassment that dry, flaky scalps too often bring. Developed by ‘The Hair Doctor’, Philip Kingsley, whose work centred around scalp (as well as hair) heath, this formula was originally created for Sir Laurence Olivier. Unlike other dandruff treatments, Flaky Itchy Scalp Shampoo does not dry out the hair or strip it of colour, gently cleansing with specialised ingredients instead and removing build up and irritation, so effectively that 99% of those tested in a consumer trial said that it cleared their flaky scalp. With a delicate apple fragrance, this can be used every day as your main shampoo, or in conjunction with the shampoo recommended for your hair texture. Available in travel and full sizes, you need never be without your favourite hair saviour...
