I first bought this shampoo based off internet research and bulletin's and reading about various types of dandruff and acne issues on the back (bacne). On a well-known website for dermatology from a famous university there I saw pictures of acne on the back and neck that was treated in the traditional way for acne but unsuccessfully. It was later noted that this acne was not truly acne but rather a reaction to a specific type fungi/yeast that lives on the oil produced by the body. Of particular areas this thrives is the upper back and chest, and the triangle area directly above the cleft of the buttocks. Also on the scalp, wherever it is present the person has what seems to be deep, painful itchy zits. The people who had this type of fungi were all successfully treated with Ketoconazole. Ketoconazole is POWERFUL anti-fungal (belonging to the "azole" family). This shampoo is highly effective against this type of dandruff that may be untreatable with other types of dandruff shampoos. I bought this and the zits and bacne COMPLETELY WENT AWAY. The bad thing is, that I start to get acne almost immediately upon stopping its use. The good thing is, that this is the FIRST summer in years that I have been able to wear tank tops! Also, no more itchy bumps on my head and around my lower hairline. It also seemed to really make a difference with the acne I was getting on my face! I have been using it as a body wash for my back and upper chest as well as shampoo. This is how I got rid of my bacne and acne on my chest as well as the dandruff type symptoms on my head. I am thinking about using it as a face wash now too! BTW, you can get the 2% Ketoconozole shampoo from a dermatologist, but its usually not necessary. Try Nizoral first! Since it is anti-fungal, try using it for Tinea Versicolor, which is also a fungal based rash. (Results in patches of de-pigmented areas on the skin). Let the shampoo lather up and let it sit on your skin for 2 minutes before rinsing off. I can't stop using this stuff..I tried everything on my back, salycilic acid sprays, benzoil peroxide bars and creams. All I got from those were more zits or stained/bleached t-shirts. I am 34 years old, and I have no idea why I have these skin problems since I hit about age 30. I am attributing it to some sort of hormoneal imbalance. Ketoconazole also has anti-androgenic effects, and many body builders use it on their back and hair to prevent the thinning of hair and acne that results from their steroid abuse.

I loved the prescription version years ago, but this doesn't perform nearly as well and is almost as expensive. It's also a touch harsh on the scalp. The fragrance they use to cover the medicinal smell is pleasant, but my scalp is still flaky so I will not repurchase.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

One of the best products there is, whether your scalp situation is mild or severe. It costs a lot but it's effective. And it doesn't smell the best but that's nothing compared to how well this shampoo works. I have also used the harder to find Nizoral 2% formula (the drugstore strength is 1% & costs less than the 2% formula). I don't use this shampoo regularly but this product is A+ all the way.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

I'm African American and wash my hair weekly, but because of my dandruff I was washing it every 4 of 5 days. I suffered from dry, flaking scalp for years. It was really embarrassing for friends to come by and pick and pull flakes out of hair. Gross! I finally found out about Nizoral and it worked like a miracle. The itching and flakes haven't come back since I first used this product.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

There are already so many positive reviews, but I have to add my own. This product has changed my life. For years I have suffered with severe scalp problems; itching, flaking, scales, bleeding, etc. It was uncomfortable, gross and embarrassing to the point where most days I couldn't wear black. I tried all of the usual dandruff shampoos as well as many natural products and tricks. Nothing worked for me until Nizoral. After two shampoos I noticed the difference and my scalp was 100% normal after 2 weeks. For the first month I used it twice a week and now I use it just once a week. It made my hair's texture feel different for the first month, but not anymore. I guess my hair needed to get used to it. I can now wear anything and go out with confidence without having to check for flakes every 5 minutes! I highly recommend you try this shampoo.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

I have suffered with dry scalp, crusty spots on my scalp, flakes, ugh, you get the idea. I hardly ever wear black tops because I am afraid of wiping off my clothes. Gross. I am 33 years old, have very curly hair that I get professionally straightened. I was worried this would dry out my hair but so far so good. And the other reviewers were right, I see a difference in just two shampoos, I am so psyched. I only hope it doesn't take a toll on my hair. I followed up with Nature's Gate tea tree conditioner which worked well. I will definitely buy this again, it is pricey but for me it's been the only thing that actually worked and didn't STINK.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

I used Nizoral last year. It really works great and I recommend it. It's just that it's not friendly on my budget. And my straightened hair gradually came to its natural wave just by using it for 3 months. Maybe Nizoral is not recommended for treated hair. But overall it is still satisfactory.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

I can wear black again! Without worry I have been using about a month now and this has tremendously helped my dry scalp. I have a very small area near the front which it still a little irritated but otherwise this is the first product I have had such great results with. Will definitely buy again.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

My doctor recommended this to me to treat "winter dry scalp" and folliculitis, along with some Naproxen for the inflammation from the folliculitis. I am amazed at how quickly the Nizoral has worked - after just a couple shampoos my scalp is less itchy and my hairline is much nicer looking - I never really knew I had a problem since it was such a mild case but WOW the difference this shampoo has made. I was leery because I have color treated hair (color and highlights) and was worried my hair would be dry, crunchy, and the color stripped - but it looks BETTER now than it did before. I can't recommend this enough!

My doctor recommended this for my flaky scalp and hairline. I use it twice a week (and have for years) and I never see any flakes anymore. The itching is gone too. Great product. Worth the price.

Comments about Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 fl oz:

Some studies show that the active ingredient in Nizoral helps men's hair loss. Not sure how well that works but I use it anyway. My hair feels good and it is a good overall shampoo so if it's also helping hair loss then great.
