I was hoping the fragrance warnings in the reviews were exaggerating but it’s true. It may work alright for dandruff but smelling this all day is too much. All my friends agree it is a weird smell, like if an antique shop caught fire kinda smell. This is the first bad review I’ve left in my life but the people need to know.
Sasha E.
Best shampoo ive used in years, I can tell how much better my scalp is already
Melissa C.
My stylist recommended this for when my scalp gets itchy in the winter. It's gentle on my skin and cleans so well.
Morgan R.
I don't care how well it hypothetically works, the smell is horrific. It reminds me of a perm; super sulfur forward, and overpowers through your next wash with a different product. I really wanted to love this product, but I was too grossed out to continue using it.
Hilary T.
Product is not good consistency.
Product does not rinse easily.
Not sure it purifies or helps.
Renee S.
This shampoo is the best for dry scalp! Quality product.
Jared R.
I go to Etta Salon in Brooklyn, New York, an my stylist was the one who introduced me to the dandruff shampoo, I had used many other dry scalp shampoos before and they didn’t do much, but this one is a life saver. When you were out of it recently I had to use other shampoos and nothing was as good. So glad it’s back! It really just makes my hair so great, such a huge fan!
Mia T.
This is my go-to dandruff shampoo. I use it every 2-3 washes and flakes are gone! It's not my favorite smell but works so well i'll continue to use it.
William J.
This makes my hair skin so happy. My under hairs dermis is really not happy a lot, but with the Davines it's so much more happy. Way less angry. I got that angry head skin under my hair but not when Davines comes to the party. Only shampoo that gets rid of my angry flakes!
Danielle P.
The fragrance in this shampoo is like an evil entity I can't exorcise. I washed my dreads once with the shampoo, hated the smell and for close to a month have been tried multiple washes daily, soaks, dips and Febreze to remove the scent. It is still there, my husband had to sleep in the spare room for over a week because it gave him migraines. My sister in law thought I'd put Nair in my hair by mistake, that's what it STILL faintly smells like. I have waist length mature dreads my friend put into my hair while she was dying from cancer. I cannot cut them, but I want to, just to escape the smell. I can smell it right now. I was so angry at the company. After smelling my hair at an appointment with my loctician she removed the product from her recommended list. I don't know what the underlying chemical Nair smell or what kind of fragrance will hold on like this. I'm going to the beach and I'm PRAYING the seawater for days will knock the smell out. Honestly, I'm destroying my beautiful locs with everything, that maybe cutting them will be necessary. All I know is I'm angry. SO, SO ANGRY.

If you have dandruff, psoriasis, itchy scalp in general get this!! It’s my holy grail
Jessica M.
My sister introduced me to Davines two years ago and I’ve been stuck on it ever since! I love the purifying shampoo! Sometimes my head will get very itchy and this handles it within a day or two. I’m a forever Davines girl! Thanks for such great products. I also love MoMo shampoo and conditioner.
Lori R.
This shampoo keeps your color fresh like no other shampoo. I can’t be without it.
Danielle P.
This is a fragrance warning! I have washed my hair 4 times, soaked it twice in 1st cider vinegar and then white vinegar, it still stinks. I have never experienced anything like this before, the fragrance is OVERWHELMING. I have locs and I don't know how I'm going to get this stink out of them. I've used their other shampoos and those are lightly scented compared to this. My sister in law thought I had Nair hair remover in my hair, that's what it smells like. Tomorrow I'm going to soak them vinegar, baking soda and jojoba oil, then rinse it with the hose on the jet setting. Be very careful, make sure you like the scent before using, because thats all you will be able to smell. This is a nightmare.
Hailey
This is the only thing I have used that’s actually completely eliminated my dry and itchy scalp. Before using this product I thought I was just going to have to accept the fact that my scalp would be itchy, irritated, and flaky after about three days. Since using this product I can easily go a week without washing my hair and I have absolutely no flaking or itching. Hands down the best haircare product I have ever used.
Munkhsuren U.
@davines, I think you changed the formula from last year. I know the shampoo wasn’t available for months before and after the new year so can you please bring back the previous formula. It helped my psoriasis and made my hair look really nice. Now it doesn’t
Sheila C.
Worked for me so quickly!!! I experienced dandruff and itchy scalp for the first time and was shocked that nothing was working to solve. I tried over the counter and prescription. A friend recommended Davines in general, so I tried Purifying. It worked after about 2 washes. Problem is completely gone! I use once a week now just to prevent any reoccurrence. Wonderful!!!
E .
April is almost over, I have checked this web site every single day for the last 3 months with no luck. Divines please be transparent and let the customers know if it we be really available, you said it would be available on April. It seems you forgot to indicate the year
Alissa B.
The one star is for it not being in stock. Otherwise this is a 5-star product. This is the only shampoo that works for my hair. I got the email saying it was back in stock, clicked the link, and it was already gone (judging from the other reviews this is a common experience for many). PLEASE BRING IT BACK AND MAKE MORE TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND.
Amy
So, I get a much-appreciated text from Jordan at Davines this shampoo is FINALLY back in stock, I get an email stating this is FINALLY back in stock, I click all the links and refresh over and over, not available??? Do I have to put 1 star to grab someone’s attention that your customers are frustrated? By reading all the reviews, I’m not alone. C’mon Davines, get it together for your loyal customers.
Jamie S.
I thought this was back in stock? I immediately clicked the email announcement to order & it was already gone. Please bring back. This is the only product that works on my hair.
David Z.
I got an email that it was back in stock. I clicked the link and it’s gone already!!! Please make more it’s the only shampoo that’s consistently worked to treat my dandruff.
Jon S.
Why would you send a back in stock email and then have the product unavailable on the website?
Hank
The only shampoo that works for me!
Caroline B.
I’ve only gotten to use this shampoo once and I can already tell it’s going to be my new favorite shampoo!!! Put my name on the list when it becomes available, please do not discontinue!!!
Jennifer
Please, please bring this back. Like everyone else I’ve tried multiple shampoos and none of them are working. Please help!
Rebecca W.
Davines, please let your consumers know if and when we can expect this product back in stock. It’s not just a beauty product, it’s a life-improving product- it eliminates irritated, itchy scalp which improves quality of life. Not to mention, it works for people with Keratin treatments. Please bring back this shampoo as soon as possible!
Abby P.
Since this product went unavailable I have tried 3 other different detox/ purifying shampoos even one from this brand but none of them have the same results. I need this product back please
Vicki P.
Same as with others. I have tried every other shampoo, including prescription grade for eczema. I can’t be without it. Please please bring it back. Already my scalp is suffering
Timur
This is the best shampoo for my seborrheic dermatitis, please don't discontinue this great product!
Timur
Jean M.
Please bring this magic shampoo back. This is the only one that helped me out with dandruff and itchiness after I tried so many, even prescribed my dermatologists. This is a real life saver please help!
Sarah
Since moving to Iceland and having sulfur in the water my scalp got very irritated and painful, my dandruff went out of control. After first use of this product my scalp calmed down straight away. Nothing works as great as this shampoo!
Sarah B.
Please don’t discontinue. This is the only product that works for my sensitive scalp to calm it down when it flares up.
Patricia J.
My scalp is desperate to have this shampoo back. I have tried many others brands. This is the only shampoo that could control my dandruff and give me peace with my seborrheic dermatitis. Please bring it back please!
Maureen .
My dandruff and I are anxiously awaiting the return of this product. I have had dandruff on and off since I was a teen. I have tried everything on the market and this product has yielded the best results thus far. I do find the smell to be a bit strong, similar to men’s cologne, but if it helps get rid of my dandruff I can ignore it. Please bring this back!
Corey
This is the only product that has worked for me, I often use it on my face in addition to my scalp. It works great! I sincerely hope there is a replacement on its way or a restock in the works. Its clear how well it performs based on the other reviews here. Please bring it back!
Alex G.
Please bring this shampoo back. I’ve been using it for 5 years and rely on it. Pretty please! My scalp is very sensitive and this is the only product I’ve found that works when I have flare ups.
Randi T.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring this back!! I have so many clients who swear by this shampoo! It’s the only one that has worked for their dandruff!!
Meredith B.
Please bring this shampoo back! Like the others have said, I’ve struggled with dandruff my whole life and this shampoo is the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me!!!
Amy
This is literally the only shampoo that has worked for my dandruff issues and I’m almost out. Please restock this product. It’s THE BEST on the market.
David Z.
This is the only shampoo I’ve ever used thatACTUALLY WORKS to control my dandruff. Please bring it back!!!
Alexandria I.
I cannot find this shampoo ANYWHERE and I’m panicking!
I have struggled with dandruff almost my entire life and once I discovered this shampoo, I never used anything else.
I have officially run out of my current bottle and am begging you not to discontinue this product. I have tried EVERYTHING. Including apple cider vinegar on my scalp, cutting out dairy and gluten and have tried so many shampoos I couldn’t even give a number. PLEASE bring this shampoo back! :(
Adrienne K.
This shampoo has worked wonders for me. I've tried so many other shampoos for my dandruff issue and this is the ONLY thing that has helped keep it at bay. PLEASE do not discontinue this shampoo.

Alannis B.
This will forever be a staple in my bathroom from now on— my husband has had psoriasis and dandruff on his scalp for as long as I can remember. He had long 3a curls which we recently cut as his scalp had gotten so out of control his hair was thinning excessively. I have bought him everything under the sun that’s marketed towards his issues— head and shoulders, prescription psoriasis shampoo, kerastase symbiose, oribe serene scalp, biolage, redken, r+co…. The list could go on. He also utilizes red light therapy for his scalp every other day. After a month of use, his scalp has 0 plaques of psoriasis, 0 signs of dandruff, his hair fall when washing is much less, and his hair has visible shine without being weighed down. Thank you, Davines
Esther K.
I’ve struggled with flakes/dandruff for a good amount of my 20’s and was never able to find a good anti-dandruff product. I’ve tried a lot of products from drugstore to high-end, but nothing really got rid of my dandruff 100%. (Even the highly-rated T-gel didn’t cut it). After using this anti-dandruff shampoo TWICE, I saw my flakes reduce significantly!!! It’s an amazing product that I will keep using and hope they never discontinue this product. I love the smell and it lathers quite nicely for me, despite what other reviews have been saying. Highly recommend for dandruff sufferers like me~ 10/10
Natalie
I’m not exactly sure how the science behind this stuff works, but my only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner. I’ve struggled my entire adult life with a flakey scalp - it’s caused me pain and embarrassment for years and nothing has ever worked to resolve it. My stylist suggested this product but I was hesitant to purchase until I finally got so sick of dealing with the pain and shame that this became my last attempt before tying a medicated shampoo. Truly, after ONE use my flakiness reduced so significantly I couldn’t believe it. After two uses, the problem was gone entirely. No pain, no itchiness, no inflamed scalp - none of these issues existed anymore. I also tried several samples of their other shampoo/conditioners and was amazed to see an immediately improvement in the strength and overall health of my hair. I can wash my hair literally once, maybe twice a week with Davines and my hair looks and smells CLEAN. Thank you thank you thank you for such incredible products. I’ve never been more grateful towards a beauty company in my life!
anna f.
This is the only product that has worked for my dandruff- I am so grateful, please always sell this! I was struggling so much with embarrassing flakes and terrible itchy scalp for YEARS until now. Wish I had found it earlier, and I would love to buy in larger container !
Sydney L.
My hairstylist noticed I had dandruff… (I knew I did) lol so she washed my hair with this stuff and it was great… it was the first wash, so I wasn’t sure if it REALLY worked. At the end she sold me on it, and I started using it. It definitely made a difference, my dandruff was going away quickly. However, I recommend only using it once or twice a week. Pretty sure that’s what it says to do as well. If you overuse, it might cause oily hair or have the opposite effect and create more dandruff. You really have to lather and massage it into your scalp to get the full effect, so give it a try and don’t give up!
Aimee B.
I can’t believe how small the bottle is for the price. It doesn’t lather AT ALL, so you have to use quite a lot of it. The smell starts out like sandalwood, then smells like perming solution, but leaves a hint of sulfur on the hair all day. They sent it with a very pleasant smelling conditioner packet that I was hoping would hide it. It didn’t.
K
It worked really well for my sebhorric dermatitis! but after awhile it made my scalp get oily more frequently so I had to shower from every 3 days to every single day. on the plus side, it was consistent with keeping the dermatitis away.. but i had to switch to rebalance my scalp again.
Dayana M.
Believe me when I say I have tried everything and anything to eliminate my dandruff, and this has been THE ONE for me. So glad I gave it a try!!
Demi L.
Picked up at my local salon on a whim. It has truly been one of the best dandruff shampoos I’ve ever used. I love that it’s not a peppermint sent (goes better with the standard conditioners I use). I use about once a week and it eliminates my small flakes. Doesn’t make my hair as frizzy as other prods.
sarah r.
Two weeks of using this product as directed and I’ve already seen a vast improvement, no more itchiness of flakiness. Highly recommend for addressing those issues, and it leaves my hair in great condition and my color looking good as well.
Jennie D.
It works and smells amazing. I have an autoimmune condition that comes with a variety of annoying symptoms, one of which is an itchy inflamed scalp. I’ve been using Davines Purifying shampoo for 12 years. It’s the only shampoo that makes my scalp feel normal. I fear a day when they discontinue it! They used to sell it in a liter container and I wish I could still buy it in bulk. People often ask what perfume I’m wearing and it’s become my signature scent.
Kelly
I’ve been struggling with dandruff and itchy scalp for as long as I can remember and nothing has ever worked so effectively and as quickly as this product. After the 2nd time washing with it, my extreme scalp flare up was gone. I’ve seen other reviews about it smelling bad, but I don’t mind the scent at all. Compared to other chemical fume scented dandruff shampoos I’ve tried, this smells like flowers. HIGHLY recommend to anyone suffering with scalp issues, sebum build up, or just overall sensitivity. I am a Davines customer for life. Thank you
Timur T.
This shampoo is great for treating my seborrheic dermatitis wounds and dandruff. I have trouble finding a shampoo which doesn't cause redness on my forehead or hairline, and this is one of those rare shampoos for me.
But it has one problem:After using this shampoo 2 times a week, for about three weeks, I start to notice that my scalp gets more oily. This may be great for dry scalp problem but my oily scalp gets more oily using this shampoo.I noticed this issue get s mentioned in some of the reviews on web too.
So I think if Davines could add another product to this dandruff line, with a very similar formula(it's already a great formula) but targets for oily scalp, a shampoo which is able to treat oily scalp(in addition to treating dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis wounds) it would be perfect.
Adela P.
Please I need to return your products. Terrible. I took something for my oily scalp. It dried my ends. My scalp still oily itchy and falling a loooot.
Karen
Wow!!
Honestly the best dandruff shampoo ive tried in my 27 years of life. I’ve struggled with oily/itchy scalp all my life. My hair stylist in Dominican Republic recommended this shampoo and my life was changed. Imagine not having to worry about flakes & itchiness?!! Wow. Its truly a miracle shampoo. Thank you thank you!
Tiffany
Miracle worker
Couldn’t agree more with these 5 star reviews, so glad I found this product and so thankful for all the reviews that encouraged me to try it! I was having suffering from a really bad flake flare up and was trying everything under the sun. After ONE shampoo I noticed a huge difference, I’d say after the 2nd/3rd shampoo the flakes were completely gone. Here I am months later, completely flake free and my hair has never felt more healthy (which you know is hard to achieve with anti dandruff products if you’ve used them).
If you’re suffering from dandruff/sebhoric dermatitis, I’d highly encourage you to try this shampoo, it’s a game changer!
Thomas
HANDS DOWN--NO COMPETITION!!!
I write this review as an African American Male, that has tried the true smorgasbord of products for not only hair dandruff but beard dandruff as well. I have only used this stuff ONCE, and it worked so well that I immediately bought the gel too. I tell you... No more hair dandruff or bead dandruff and my hair has never looked better and my scalf and skin underneath my beard looks and feels amazing! Also my hair has shine and looks super healthy. Where the hell have yall been my entire life. It feels so good to have my wife run her fingers through my beard and not see Flakes and scales falling out of my beard.. Trust me people... Give these products a try, you will not be disappointed. Thanks Davines for making such a superior product and please keep up the great work and don't water down or change the formula. Kudos
Elizabeth R.
Best Dandruff Shampoo!
I have tried multiple, different dandruff specific products: shampoos, oils, and sprays but none have worked. So much money down the drain. I have been using this for about three weeks now and I can say with complete confidence that it works so well! After just two washes, my scalp was oily and there was no noticeable dandruff. My scalp feels much healthier and is no longer irritable nor itchy. 10/10 would recommend. I’ll be sticking to this shampoo for the foreseeable future.
Vanessa
Love it
The past several months I’ve been really struggling with scalp dryness and dandruff. The worst its ever been in my life. I tried several different approaches such as apple cider shampoos, coconut oil, tea tree oil and aloe. Some stuff helped but the dryness was not going away. I bought this two weeks ago and with just a few washes it’s completely turned around. I’m impressed and so thankful.
Haze
Answer to your prayers for seborrhea dermatitis ! TRY IT
I was feeling so defeated for 2 years, my scalp was producing zero oil. Flakes covered my hair, and the integrity of my hair was going down hill. I tried so many products on the market, most extremely harsh or smelling terrible ( im looking at you T sal ) I started using this shampoo 2 times a week, and after about 4 weeks of use I started to notice OIL! My scalp is oily now and the flakes are far less. I rarely see flakes in my hair now. I cant even tell you how happy I am - please try this product if you're struggling with dermatitis on the scalp. I only wish I found this sooner. Thank you so much davines... seriously thank you!
Erica
Did the trick for my son's dandruff
This works wonders for my teenage son. As he is getting older, his hair was exhibiting signs of dandruff. All the other products we tried, really stressed and dried out his scalp. This was amazing. Gentle and so effective. I love Davines and love that their products are pure. Thank you!!!!
AA
The Best I Have Used
I have a very dry scalp, most notably around my hair line. My dry flaky scalp was clearly visible. I have gone to a dermatologist in the past and the only thing that helped it was to apply some awful smelling scalp oil overnight. I have tried almost every scalp treatment under the sun, from high end brands, to store brands and nothing worked except the oil. Then I decided to try this product. It works wonders. My scalp is not flaking or itchy. The smell does not bother me at all. I would defiantly recommend.
Lindsay
Most effective dandruff shampoo
Yes it smells weird. My husband and I have actually grown to like it, but I hated the smell for a while. I kept using it because after 1 wash the intense itching was gone. After a few more washes, the burning red patches and inflammation on my scalp were completely gone. I wash my hair every 2-3 days and after I calm down a flare up (2 uses) I only use this product every 2-3 washes. It doesn't lather well so use a different product on the length of your hair so you don't go wasting it. This stuff is incredibly effective and I wish I had found it much, much sooner.
Audrey Peters
Literally Nothing Else Fixes Dandruff Like this
I suffer from absolutely terrible dandruff, have tried every market on the product for dandruff, and nothing works nearly as well as this does. I have such awful dandruff that it takes a couple washes, but When maintaining a normal scalp I use this once a week and it keeps up a hydrated scalp beautifully. Don't bother buying another product it won't work this one is the best!
Amy
It works beautifully!
Cannot give this product enough stars! My husband and I both love this product.
Berkay
Cures scalp with just one wash.
I've used drugstore shampoos before and even tho they were advertised as anti-dandruff, none of them worked. I decided to give it a shot and buy this product and it worked like a charm. I also ordered oi conditioner along with this shampoo. I use them every 3 days. Healthy scalp, zero dandruff, zero flakes. Its such a perfect product. Smell is not that good but you'll get used to it.
Brittany
AMAZING!!
I have tried just about every shampoo out there including prescription shampoos and this is the only one that gets rid of my scalp inflammation and flaking! I’m so grateful I found this product and was able to eliminate so much discomfort and embarrassment. If this line ever stops being produced I will be HEARTBROKEN. My only request is that we be able to buy it in a larger size
Elena30
Best shampoo for my dandruff!
I have been dealing with dandruff for years now, and I have try many brands and nothing ever helped until I found this little guy. To be completely honest this shampoo is super hard to blended during showers so I only put it in
In the areas that I get the dandruff and the rest of my hair I mix with the LOVE shampoo so I can get a cleaner wash. I started using it 2 times a week, after 2 weeks I only use this product once a week. Life saver!!!
Dela
smells terrible!
I was having really bad dandruff recently and I thought one of Davines' products would work since I have been using this brand for a solid half a year now. Well I thought I'd give this a go and when I first used it I got turned off by the smell; it smells like sulfur and very chemically! Yuck! I wasn't sure if I got a bad batch or what, but I didn't even give it a second chance. I wash my hair every 3 nights so the smell of sulfur from the product lingered in my hair for a couple days and whenever I touched my hair, the odor would transfer to my hands and I just couldn't bear it. I called customer service for a refund/exchange and they were very accommodating and I was satisfied with their actions (hence at least 2 stars). Sorry, but as much as I love Davines, this product for me was no bueno!
Tooth Fairy
Lots of product req for thicker hair
It works, however, I have to use a ton of it in order for it to work. It doesn't get very foamy at all, so you really have to lather it well for a while into your scalp, foaming, definitely sucks. The smell is just awful, I have to use a conditioner that has a pleasant stong scent after this, because sure enough, it smells pretty bad.
brin
only thing that works for me
really love this! its honestly the only thing that works for me! i have such issues with excess oil AND dandruff. i have tried so many products that claim to help and it just doesnt do it for me! Davines is the only product i have found to work consistently.
calicali
works great!
I use this 2-3 times a week and it's amazing how well this works.
Annelie
This shampoo is the best ever
I love this shampoo ,after only 3 washes I could see the difference
Margo
5 stars
Great product! I will continue to use this product.
MrsKath
Cured!
My local salon just started carrying Davines products. I purchased this for a flaking scalp and after one shampoo, it feels much better!
rcnyc
Good for in between washings
This shampoo is great for using in between washing. I have pretty severe scalp issues and I use this in between using the purifying gel and nourishing shampoo.
Nate
Great shampoo
This shampoo is great for dry scalp and my hair. I wish it still was offered in the 1000 mL bottles.
KAlex
Amazing Purifying Product
First off, this shampoo smells amazing, as do many things in the Davines line. I used it twice a week for about two weeks and my hair feels so balanced after it, it'll be something I will continue to incorporate into my regular haircare routine.
