CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo, With Ceramides, Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Aci...

CeraVe is a brand I’ve trusted for a long time, and this gentle hydrating shampoo did not disappoint. Like their skincare products, this shampoo focuses on a simple, well-balanced formula that works effectively without being harsh. The price is reasonable, and the quality is consistently reliable. After washing, my scalp feels very clean and refreshed, not tight or dry. It cleanses well without stripping, and my hair feels soft and comfortable afterward. I especially appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and sulfate-free, which makes it suitable for regular use and for sensitive scalps. The texture is smooth, lathers gently, and rinses out easily. It doesn’t leave any residue, and my scalp feels light and fresh throughout the day. For everyday washing, this shampoo fits perfectly into my routine. Overall, this is a solid shampoo from a brand that delivers good results at an affordable price. I would definitely repurchase and recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle, effective, and trustworthy option.

I picked up this CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo because my scalp gets dry easily and a lot of shampoos feel too stripping with regular use. After using it consistently, I’m really happy with how it performs. The formula is lightweight and easy to work through the hair, even though it doesn’t lather aggressively. It cleans well without that squeaky, dried-out feeling afterward. My hair feels soft, smooth, and comfortable once it’s dry, and my scalp doesn’t feel tight or irritated like it sometimes does with other shampoos. There’s no strong scent, which I appreciate, especially if you’re sensitive to fragrance or prefer something neutral. It also pairs well with other conditioners and styling products without causing buildup. Doesn’t cause excessive shine. Haven’t noticed any hair growth from this product but it’s doesn’t claim to increase growth. This is a great everyday shampoo if you want something gentle, moisturizing, and low-maintenance. If you’re looking for heavy clarifying or lots of foam, this may not be the best fit — but for keeping hair clean and healthy without dryness, it does exactly what it promises.

Best shampoo! I no longer have to use an itchy scalp medicated shampoo. Turns out I just needed to use a gentle shampoo with no SLS! Sores and itchy scalp are gone! Hair is soft and I love that it's unscented!

Does a good job removing product buildup and oil! No itchiness or irritation on my scalp and the skin on my chest/ back tolerate it as well. I get that "squeaky clean" feeling on my hair if I shampoo twice, which is nice but I do think the hair tends to tangle more even with my regular conditioner. Decently color-safe-- definitely still get some color with the rinse-out, but it's not too bad. The scent isn't great-- kind of sunscreenish and weird, but it doesn't linger after I rinse it out. Overall, for the price, it's a good shampoo.

Everything made by this brand is always high quality. I chose the shampoo in the matching conditioner because I have an adult in the house with psoriasis. I also suffer from eczema. This has been an absolute game changer with the people in my home that use this shampoo and the accommodating conditioner. The only complaint I have heard is that one of my adult children has a hard time spreading it through her thick hair but I have not had that problem and neither have the other people in my home. Dissent is almost immeasurable as it does not have much sent at all. Of course the ladies really want something that smells good, but that's not great necessarily for your skin. This shampoo absolutely cleans my hair extremely well and leaves it feeling very soft which is unexpected because most shampoos do not leave my hair feeling soft. I have naturally curly hair and am Caucasian, the only other shampoo that has left my hair feeling like this is another brand but it is too highly scented and causes me issues. I absolutely love this and highly recommend it! I realize this brand is more expensive but for caring for your skin when you have psoriasis or eczema is more important and this shampoo will take care of you!

I've used this shampoo twice now along with the matching conditioner and have been pleasantly surprised that it leaves my hair moisturized, not fly away, not frizzy, but not flat or greasy. I've tried a number of salon products as well as drugstore products and find that no matter what the description is, they are too harsh for my hair. I also have an alopecia condition and just from the two times that I've used it I'm seeing less inflammation. I've tried several other shampoos/conditioners that are good for the alopecia but terrible cosmetically. This product does well at both. Also, I don't perceive any scent from either shampoo or conditioner and they don't cause my eyes to burn.

Calmed My Scalp, Balanced Oil, and Didn’t Trigger Hair Loss – A Truly Gentle Formula That Works I’ve been using the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo daily for about 4 weeks, and it’s exceeded expectations in every category that matters — especially for someone like me with a sensitive scalp, thinning hair, and a tendency toward oiliness. Hair Loss Since switching to this shampoo, I’ve noticed fewer hairs in the drain and on my brush, which is a big deal for me. My scalp feels healthier and less inflamed, which I suspect is helping with hair retention. Oiliness I usually need to wash my hair daily because of oil buildup, but this shampoo has balanced my scalp’s oil production. My hair stays fresher for longer, and I can now go 2 full days without it looking greasy — a first for me. Scent There is no added fragrance, which I appreciate. It smells neutral — almost clinical — and fades immediately. Perfect if you’re sensitive to strong scents or want to avoid unnecessary irritants. Effectiveness Despite being low-foaming, it cleanses thoroughly. My scalp feels refreshed but not stripped. It removes sweat, light product buildup, and oil without leaving any residue. I’ve had no itchiness or flakiness since using this consistently. Color I have color-treated hair, and this shampoo has not caused any fading or dullness. It’s sulfate-free, so it’s safe for colored hair. My hair still looks vibrant and feels soft. Hair Cleanness Even without a rich lather, my hair feels thoroughly clean after each wash. It rinses out easily and leaves no film or heaviness. I follow with a lightweight conditioner, and my hair feels smooth, hydrated, and manageable. Final Verdict: This shampoo delivers on every front — it’s gentle, effective, and safe for sensitive scalps and color-treated hair. It’s now my go-to for daily use. If you struggle with hair loss, excess oil, or irritation from traditional shampoos, this is worth trying.

After using this product every day for the past two months-ish Pros: This product has ingredients that are not harmful and I feel confident that they cause no issues on my skin. I had absolutely zero negative skin reactions which I do have with other products. The texture of it going into my hair was also great. Giant note: this shampoo made me finally discover that I am low level allergic to fragrances in shampoos and conditioners. Usually I experience scalp itchiness and for some products I no longer use it can get intense and I can't stop itching my scalp all day and night. This product caused ZERO itch, and I only realized this when I switched back to a different shampoo brand and immediately experienced itching with the first wash. However the itching was a lot less than other brands and as you will see, the cons of this product made switching back a sad but inevitable decision for me. Cons: Immediately made my hair tangly and frizzy ( it became painful to run my fingers through my hair.) Did not cut the scalp oil and so I could no longer go even a single day between washes (I could if I supplemented with a different brand of shampoo but that's not the goal I was aiming for.) The accompanying conditioner did nothing to help the friz either. Did not leave my hair glossy and silky but it did feel hydrated it just didn't look good. I also noticed a slight increase in dandruff because I was scrubbing so hard to try and get all the oil out of my hair, and I wouldn't even say I have oily hair in general. When my very fine hair became tangled it was a chore to brush it out and made me feel like the amount of force I had to put in was pulling hairs out, plus it didn't feel very brushed afterwards but still frizzy and catching my fingers when I ran them through. Immediately when I used a different brand of shampoo for one day: My friz was almost gone My hair looked visibly glossy and silky It cut all the oil so I could go my normal two days between hair washes I could run my fingers straight through my hair again with only one or two slight snags After the second wash: Friz virtually none-existant Hair still looks glossy and silky When my hair became tangled, brushing it out was easy and it stayed looking brushed Overall, if you are looking for a product you feel safe putting on your body and alo will not cause you to have bad skin reactions, this product is for you. I didn't try using apple cider vinegar to see if it would help the shine or tangle because I just don't want to have fifty products in my shower and take forever to wash my hair, but I'd be super curious if anyone has tried that combo. I don't think they can fix the issues I mentioned without compromising on the cleanness of the ingredients so I will use up my bottle and probably not buy again.
