CeraVe Oil Control Balancing Shampoo 12 oz

This balancing shampoo targets oily scalps while keeping hair hydrated and manageable, removing excess oil without leaving strands feeling stripped. It acts as a clarifying shampoo for oily scalp and offers lightweight moisture from roots to ends, so daily washing can refresh the hair and maintain a healthier scalp balance.

Key Points

Cleansing power focuses on removing excess oil while supporting the scalp barrier through three essential ceramides and zinc PCA. The formula also contains hyaluronic acid to add hydration to hair ends without weighing them down. According to the manufacturer, users experienced up to 72-hour oil balance in a consumer test, which indicates longer-lasting freshness for normal to oily scalps. The product is sulfate free and fragrance free, and it is non-comedogenic and allergy-tested, making it suitable for sensitive scalps and color-treated hair. Note that very dry scalps may require additional moisturizing treatments, as this product is geared toward balancing oil and hydration.

Benefits

This shampoo cleanses effectively while aiming to preserve the natural lipid barrier of the scalp, which can reduce irritation and over-drying. The inclusion of ceramides supports skin barrier restoration and maintenance, and hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture in the hair shaft for a softer feel. For those who color their hair, the sulfate-free composition helps protect dye from premature fading. Additionally, the lightweight hydration keeps volume and movement intact rather than flattening fine or limp hair. 🌿

Usage Recommendations

Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp to lift oil and impurities, then rinse thoroughly. For a balanced routine, follow with the matching Oil Control Balancing Conditioner and focus conditioner on mid-lengths to ends to avoid adding weight at the roots. Use daily if needed for oily scalps, and consider spacing washes if scalp oiliness decreases. For best results, monitor scalp response and adjust frequency accordingly. 🚿.
