I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...

Thoughts:

- The claims about removing dandruff are a bit over the top




+ Surprisingly good for the price.

+ Smells fresh, not overpowering.

+ It does make hair feel clean and includes good purifying ingredients (salicylic acid, tea tree oil, piroctone olamine)

* Don't remember if I've told, but these basic L'Oreal shampoos are pretty good for the money compared to other market brands and easy to find, so I've been buying them for years. There's nothing amazing about them but they do a good job for normal, non-processed hair.

Price: 

About 3 € / 250 ml, I just bought 400 ml ones on sale for 3 € too

Bought from: 

Supermarkets, everywhere

Buy again? 

Yes, and I already have.

Worth the money?

I'm impressed, for the price the shampoo is very good! I wasn't expecting it to cleanse scalp any better than other L'Oreal shampoos I've had but actually it does (usually they are all the same I feel, except the one with oils, it was more nourishing but not so cleansing). I would recommend it for people with oily scalp, just like Head&Shoulders. However it's not drying at all so I could see anyone using it. Can't say if it helps with dandruff, though.
