Overview
Not a scented or sulfate based cleanser, this CeraVe shampoo washes hair and scalp with ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. It was developed with dermatologists and is formulated to avoid disrupting the scalp barrier.
A shopper with a sensitive scalp gets a gentle formula that leaves out common irritants such as fragrance, dyes and parabens. The limitation is a mild cleansing action, which suits daily use but may feel light on heavy styling product.
Who it's for
A shower routine for women or men with an easily irritated scalp, or hair that has been colored, is the match. Those wanting a fragrant wash or a reset for heavy buildup should pick a different product type.
Pros and cons
- Safe on color-treated hair
- Ceramides and niacinamide
- Mild cleansing power
- Conditioner sold separately
- Plain, unscented experience
Performance notes
A gentle surfactant system lifts oil and buildup without stripping the scalp, while ceramides and niacinamide support the barrier. The wash is applied to wet hair, massaged into a lather and rinsed thoroughly.
