I can not find the original thread on this so I am sorry for being repetitive but I remember someone saying that this is a bad product and people had severe sensitivities with this or hair loss? I do not remember the comment exact but I tried it today and my hair feels and looks good but I washed my face with it and my face now feels slightly sensitive or sore, kinda like the feeling when you use too strong of an acne medication ( do not know how to explain) I never had this happen with a shampoo before usually I can wash my face with a shampoo in the shower and all is fine. No scalp burning just a slight burning in the face. No hair loss after the first use, my scalp feels very clean but I am not sure if I would ever recommend this product if my face burns. lol I will use it over the next few days just in case maybe something else is causing the sensitivities

Re: Clear shampoo/conditioner

Which brand is it?

I wash my face occasionally with Wen, but Pantene Curly would be way too harsh.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

Wasn't there an ingredient in the Clear that was questionable, DMD Dilantoin, something like that

Re: Clear shampoo/conditioner

I don't think the product is designed to be used as a face wash since it is sold as a shampoo.

Your face can be more sensitive than your scalp and vice versa. The only real non-face product I use is baby wash. I do use it on my face as a good all in one for face, body and hair, especially when I travel. I use one by Shea Moisture.

Re: Clear shampoo/conditioner

Wow, fragrance is the 4th ingredient, even before the active anti-dandruff ingredient (zinc pyrithione). That would cause major irritation for me.

I've used it and had no irritation. I would buy it again.

Re: Clear shampoo/conditioner

I been using it a few days now and no more irritation. It does not smell strong given perfume is high up on the ingredient list. I never had dandruff but I read that zinc pyrothrione helps hair grow. I am surprised on how good of a job it does. It has to be one of the better drugstore brands I have tried. So far I am liking it more than my salon brands. It makes my hair very soft and moisturized as well as feeling light. I received several compliments on my hair since using this. Pretty much all drugstore shampoo dries out my hair other tan organix. I am definitely going to keep this as a regular shampoo

Re: Clear shampoo/conditioner

I have only used it once and if you can form much of an opinion on that, I liked it. The lathering was very thick and smooth and felt very soothing, but rinsed well. My scalp felt very clean afterwards and my hair nice and light. Not weighed down at all. I think I will keep this in my rotation. I don't like to use the same thing every day. So, we will see how I feel after the next time I use it!!
