As someone who's battled stubborn dandruff for years, I was skeptical about trying yet another 'miracle' shampoo. But Amazon Basics Dandruff Shampoo surprised me from the very first wash.

The texture is perfect - not too thick, not too watery. It lathers beautifully even in my short hair, and that clean, fresh scent lingers just enough to feel fresh without being overpowering. After just two weeks of use, my shoulder flakes have practically disappeared.

What really stands out is how gentle it feels compared to other dandruff shampoos. No stinging sensation or excessive dryness - just a comfortable clean. I've even started using it daily without any irritation.

The pump bottle is genius (though I did receive mine leak-free). One full pump gives me enough for a thorough wash of my short hair. At this rate, this massive 28oz bottle might last me half a year!

For the price difference compared to name brands, I expected compromised quality. Instead, I got comparable performance with better value. My only wish? That they'd make a matching conditioner!
