Provides a cooling sensation with feel-good peppermint fragrance known to enhance the senses. Salicylic acid helps remove excess oil and dead skin from the skin surface. Neutrogena Scalp Therapy™ Anti-Dandruff Itchy Scalp shampoo penetrates deep into the skin surface to help get rid of flakes while moisturizing dry scalp. You can use the shampoo to control symptoms of dandruff, or on a regular basis to help maintain your scalp’s moisture levels and help prevent recurrence of dandruff. Review: Cures itchy scalp. - I’ve been dealing with an itchy, flaky scalp for years—especially in Franklin’s dry winters—and switched to the Neutrogena Scalp Therapy Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Itchy Scalp (with 2.5% salicylic acid and peppermint fragrance) a few months ago. It’s made a noticeable difference without being too harsh. This medicated shampoo is formulated specifically for itchy, flaky scalps due to dandruff. The 2.5% salicylic acid acts as a gentle exfoliant to break down buildup, remove dead skin, and control flakes—clinically proven to start working from the first use and keep helping post-rinse. The peppermint (with menthol) delivers a refreshing, cooling sensation that soothes itchiness right away—feels invigorating during the wash, like a mini spa treatment for your head. The fragrance is fresh and minty, not overpowering, and lingers pleasantly without being artificial. Lather is decent (not super bubbly like non-medicated shampoos, but effective), and it rinses clean without heavy residue. I use it 2-3 times a week (alternating with a moisturizing conditioner or regular shampoo to avoid dryness), and my scalp feels calmer, less irritated, and flake-free most days. No more constant scratching or visible white shoulders on dark shirts. Hair doesn’t feel stripped—it’s left feeling clean and balanced, though I follow with conditioner on the lengths since salicylic acid can be drying if overused. Pros: • Fast itch relief from the cooling peppermint/menthol. • Effectively reduces flakes and buildup without needing daily use. • Dermatologist-recommended brand, affordable (~$8-12 for 12 fl oz). • Pleasant, uplifting scent that makes shampooing enjoyable. Minor cons: It can feel a bit drying on the hair ends if you don’t condition well (common with salicylic acid formulas), and the cooling tingle might be intense for super-sensitive scalps at first (starts strong but fades quickly). Not fragrance-free like some other Neutrogena options—if you prefer unscented, go for their extra strength version. Overall, this has been a reliable, effective fix for my occasional dandruff and itch—better than basic drugstore shampoos I’ve tried. If you’re battling an itchy scalp, give it a shot; it’s worth keeping in rotation. 5 stars—cooling relief that actually works! ❄️🧴 0 “LARGE” 1 “LARGE” 2 “LARGE” 3 “LARGE” Review: Excellent Shampoo For Itchy or Flaking Scalps - I recently developed psoriasis on my scalp, and my doctor recommended using a medicated shampoo to control it. I tried several brands, but, even though they addressed the (ahem) root problem, they left my hair feeling dried out. Neutrogena Scalp Therapy is a rarity in that it attacks scalp plaque build up while leaving my hair feeling and looking as though I used a regular shampoo. Now that I’m past that original outbreak, I use the shampoo as a maintenance therapy three or so times a week. I love that Neutrogena has paid attention not only to including a decent strength of salicylic acid but also to making sure my hair looks great. ## Features - Luxurious anti-dandruff shampoo formulated with 2.5% salicylic acid.
