With it in my shampoo collection, being used once every two or three weeks in the winter - and usually never in the summer, I never had flakes. Since the product was discontinued, I've found no relief from the flakes. Even in summer. I am picky - I don't want a dandruff shampoo that removes or damages more strands of hair than flakes. So...that said...I'm still searching for an adequate replacement.

I tried herbal rinses, oils, etc. to no avail. I was so incredibly frustrated by wasting my money, time & hope on things that just didn't get RID of the flakes. Then I tried the MADE FROM EARTH Tea + Protein Shampoo, and I was cautiously optimistic. I had read the reviews on the internet, and I really didn't have anything to lose (except flakes, hopefully). I actually PRAYED for something to give me much needed relief from the constant flaking & itching. Well, I can honestly say after 1.5 months of using this every 3-4 days, my hair is *almost* completely flake free! Praise the Lord! This product may seem a little expensive, but for me, it is worth its weight in gold. Honestly, this is the best product on the market for people with seborrheic dermatitis (which is what I believe I have). I HIGHLY recommend it! you can find them http://www.madefromearth.com/ I have suffered with a flaky, scaly, oily scalp for several years. I tried herbal rinses, oils, etc. to no avail.

Excuse me, but I've had dandruff since I was eight years old. You may not belive me, I am only a teen. I've spent alot of time researching on dandruff and even have my own NATURAL beauty guide book by a certified Herbal Specialist. That shampoo had active ingredients that were natural. I've done my research, and all of those herbs are on the top herb list in curing dandruff/dry scalp and assosiated problems. So, I have no idea why you have denied that it doesn't work...not everything that doesn't have harsh chemicals like the ones you spoke of work. I know this for a fact because my whole family has suffered from dandruff, including me.

It really "cures" it if used regularly, and at a maintenance level once brought under control. I have asked them why they don't make a dandruff shampoo. I have tried diluting it and rubbing it into my scalp one day, but didn't follow through enough to see a difference. I'm sure the milk acid would help. What do you think? What other sources of milk acid are there? Buttermilk? I use Lac Hydrin on my very dry skin. It really “cures” it if used regularly, and at a maintenance level once brought under control.

This doesn't prove that it works. Based on the best scientific evidence right now, there is no reason it should work on dandruff. Incidentally, we are not advertisers. We are a blog that writes opinions about products and the scientific claims that they make. The reason they stopped making the shampoo is because people weren't buying enough of it. And one of the most likely reasons for this is that people bought it expecting to see a reduction in their dandruff and were disappointed because it didn't work.
