OVANTE Folliculitis Shampoo for Itchy Scalp, Flakes & Dandruff – Tea Tree Sca...

I started using this shampoo recently and wasn’t really expecting anything dramatic, but it actually ended up helping more than I thought it would. I picked it up after dealing with some irritation around my scalp and hairline that just wouldn’t go away. I had some small bumps and itchiness that would come and go, and it seemed worse whenever I was stressed or after long days when my scalp felt oily and uncomfortable. I had tried a few other products before this, including some medicated treatments, but nothing seemed to make a noticeable difference. I’ll admit I’m usually a little doubtful when products highlight a lot of “natural” ingredients because sometimes that feels more like advertising than actual effectiveness. But after using this for a few days in a row, I started noticing my scalp feeling calmer and less irritated. It seems like it does a really good job of cleansing the scalp and getting rid of buildup that can clog hair follicles and cause irritation. One thing I really like is how it feels when you use it. It has a light cooling sensation that makes your scalp feel refreshed, especially if it’s been itchy or irritated. It leaves a subtle tingly feeling that’s actually pretty soothing. The scent is also nice, it has a clean tea tree smell that feels fresh without being overpowering. When you first apply it, the scent is a little strong, but once you rinse it out and your hair dries it fades into a much softer, clean smell. Another thing I noticed is that you don’t need very much product for it to work well. Even though the bottle isn’t huge, a small amount lathers up nicely if you massage it into your scalp properly. Because of that, the bottle seems like it will last a while. After my scalp started improving, I didn’t feel like I had to use it every single day either. Using it every couple of days has been enough to keep things feeling balanced. Overall, I’m really glad I decided to give this shampoo a try. It ended up working better than several other things I had already tried. If you’re dealing with scalp irritation, bumps, or buildup and nothing else has helped much, this might be worth testing out. It definitely surprised me in a good way.

I’ve been using this shampoo for a little over a week now, and I’m honestly impressed with the results. I started noticing a big difference in my dandruff after just a few uses my scalp feels much cleaner and less itchy. It also smells really nice, like a fresh, clean scent that isn’t too strong. That’s a big plus for me because a lot of dandruff shampoos don’t smell great. Overall, it works really well and leaves my hair feeling clean and refreshed. Definitely recommend if you’re dealing with dandruff!

I purchased this item November 2015. It's January 2016 and my scalp has been clean for a while. I don't know if it's the shampoo or the combination of the shampoo with clindamycin. However, my scalp is clean. I have had scalp and body folliculitis in a chronic stage for many, many years, too many to count. Painful postules stopped me from wearing a hat in frigid temperatures, embarrassing haircuts, where if the barber nicked me, I bled, head hurt to place on pillows at night, and if the base of my scalp touched the shirt collar, it hurt. I've taken antibiotics which made it go away for a while; Accutane, which gave me racing suicidal thoughts so had to be taken off it, but it did clear my scalp for about 6 months, and have used combinations of tea tree oil shampoos and clindamycin foam. Nothing worked. They always reappeared. Docs have said, "it's something you'll have to live with." I decided to try this shampoo based on the reviews. Some of the reviews are good, some are bad. I bought the shampoo and the scalp solution together and began treatment. Yes, I didn't/don't like the smell, but I was desperate to try anything that would help. After first couple of shampoos, the folliculitis seemed to get worse. The postules got more sore, more red, and more tender to the touch. It was painful. I have them on my chest hairs as well and they got more tender and red as well. But I persevered. At first, I didn't want to use anything else with the shampoo to rule out the possibility of not knowing if it was working or not. But it got so bad, I added the clindamycin into the mix. I was shampooing every day. Leaving it on for a full 5 minutes. I'd take a break for a few days, use the clindamycin, and then go back to shampooing. So for the month of December it was shampooing on and off and applying the clindamycin. I don't know when they disappeared, but I haven't had a break out. I'm skeptical. I keep waiting for them to reappear so I'm still shampooing as a preventative measure, but my scalp is clean. My chest shows the remnants of past postules, but currently no active puss filled painful postules. I laid off the solution because it smells like wet dog. Not a good thing when riding NYC subways and people are pressed up against you with their noses stuck in your hair. Who says NYers don't care? Anyway, was it the shampoo, the clindamycin, the combo? I don't know. I've used clindamycin foam for years and it's relief has only been minor or temporary. It's like whack a mole. One goes away and three more pop up. All I know is I'm going to continue using this shampoo. I will check back in next month and let you know if its still working. Good luck!

Whatever is on my scalp, this didn’t work. I ended up going to Sephora to get a really great product called a scalp scrub that uses coconut oil so that it doesn’t dry your scalp out. I bought the shampoo and the conditioner and my head doesn’t itch all the time and I don’t get these little red bumps that are so painful. I’ve always looked at ingredients,Because my concern was that I was allergic to something I get at the store. Sephora, and this particular line of product that I got there, is what they call “clean “. So far so good with that. This product didn’t really help, but it was one more box on the list I need to check. It was OK. It didn’t deal with my problem, but it was OK.

Title says it all. This stuff works. That’s really all you need to know. But here’s my long review if you want to know more… For the past few years, I was having this scalp issue. It had gradually become worse and worse - spreading over a larger area and even beginning on the right side (was originally on the left only.) I didn’t know what it was but I tried various shampoos and herbal/home remedies. Nothing worked. I finally went in to a dermatologist who diagnosed it as scalp folliculitis and gave me a prescription medicated shampoo and topical antibiotic. Still no relief. Some things I tried seemed to clear it up initially but never completely and never for more than a week or so. Then I found this shampoo. I have been using it for a month now and just bought another bottle. (ETA it’s actually been about seven weeks so almost two months.) The itchiness is gone. The flaking is gone. All but one sore is gone. I use the shampoo at least every other day. If I do go to day three, I will have some thicker flakes/scaling show up but they’re very mild and only in one small area (the original area where it all began). A single shampooing will clear them up. Very recently, I did have a couple very small sores flare up - but like the flaking, they immediately cleared up after I washed it. The last sore I have left still has improved but it simply will not go away. I’m thinking it’s a cyst, ingrown hair, or something like that and will require another trip for the doctor to actually remove whatever it is. But aside from that, it’s all cleared up! Things worth noting: It has sulfur in it. Most hair will love it but it can be damaging for some. My hair loves it and it has more volume than normal. It stinks. The scent sometimes lingers. Sometimes I will wash *just the length, not the scalp* with another shampoo. It doesn’t lather well. Occasionally it will a little bit if you apply a small amount of water and rub it in your hands before applying it to your scalp. But usually it doesn’t. This can be hard to get used to if you’re used to chemical-laden shampoos that lather a lot. Just put some of this shampoo on your fingers and rub it into your scalp well, concentrating on the worst areas. You may think it’s not going to clean your hair but it does! Just work it in well with your fingers. Once you have it worked in, let it sit for a few minutes. Then add a little bit of water and work it in a bit more before rinsing. Did I mention it actually works?!

Much better folliculitis shampoos out there for a lot less money. Almost $7 per ounce is ridiculous; I wouldn't mind if the results were spectacular, but they are not. Am using much cheaper anti-bac/anti-fungal shampoos (in 12 oz vice 6 oz bottles) that works better at $1-2 per ounce vice $6.67! Also, the sulphur smell is NOT pleasant at all, and the sulphur burns my scalp (only left on a couple minutes). If you want to spend $40 on a very tiny bottle with no results this is for you!

Title: Works Well for Folliculitis – Gentle and Effective Review: I’ve been struggling with folliculitis for a while, and this shampoo has made a noticeable difference. It’s gentle on the scalp, doesn’t irritate, and helps reduce redness and bumps. The formula feels soothing, and I noticed improvements after a few washes. It also has a pleasant, mild scent. I recommend using it consistently as part of your routine. It’s become a key part of my hair care for managing folliculitis, and I feel more confident in my scalp’s health. Pros: • Gentle on sensitive skin • Reduces bumps and irritation • Pleasant scent • Works with regular use Cons: • Needs consistent use for best results Overall, I’m very satisfied with this shampoo and would recommend it to anyone dealing with folliculitis.

I struggled with scalp folliculitis for a long time, It started with small itchy bumps on my scalp, but over time it got worse. The bumps turned into painful red spots, sometimes filled with pus, and my head got covered by tiny little and painful sores, not to mention constant itching, burning, and even some hair thinning for some odd reason only on the back of my head. I was always scratching, and it made me embarrassed, especially after haircuts. To make the story short, I went to doctors first. I saw a dermatologist and was given antibiotics, medicated creams, and special lotions.I started the treatment and as many people also mention , at first it starts working and the symptoms would calm down for a short time, then come right back.Very frustrating :( I also went to traditional treatments at home like tea tree oil, sulfur shampoos, azelaic acid shampoos, i tried shampoos with charcoal even to the point where I started changing pillow cases like every day, and keeping my scalp extra clean. Still no real result Then I moved on to over-the-counter products. I tried popular dandruff and antifungal shampoos like Head and Shoulders - that didnt help. Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo because many people online said it helps with scalp issues. It did help a little with flakes and itching since it targets fungus , but my folliculitis bumps and irritation were still there. I also tried different “natural” shampoos and even some strong chemical ones. Some dried my scalp out, others made it more oily. Nothing gave real relief. One of my relatives actually suggested to try Ovante shampoo, she used it before and it did help her with her dandruff. After a few uses, I noticed the itching started to calm down. The burning feeling reduced, and my scalp didn’t feel as irritated. Now, a month later i can tell that, all my red bumps have become less frequent and less painful and my scalp is 95% clear, i still have a little tiny drying bump here and there but i can tell it will disappear soon. My scalp finally started to feel clean without being dry or greasy. According to product info, it’s made to help with symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling using ingredients like sulfur and essential oils , which may explain why it worked better for me. The biggest difference compared to other folliculitis treatments that I tried was relief. I am not constantly thinking about my scalp anymore. Last week i noticed go through the all week without scratching or feeling uncomfortable. I am sooo happy !!!!! I know folliculitis can be different for everyone—some people deal with bacterial causes, others fungal—but for me, finding the right shampoo made all the difference after trying so many things that didn’t work. If you’re dealing with scalp folliculitis, just know, it can take time, trial and error, and patience like it did for me. But finding something that actually helps is possible—and when you do, the relief feels amazing and i will recommend this shampoo to everyone if you have dandruff folliculit or greasy itchy scalp.

Has improved in span of week

Smells really bad and it didn't work for me
