FlakesAnti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Set | Dry, Flaky, & Itchy Scalp Shampoo | Sulfate & Paraben Free for Healthy Hair | Hydrating Shampoo & Moisturizing Conditioner for Scalp Care | 9 fl oz

I’ve been fighting a losing battle with dandruff for years—managing it as best I could with whatever over-the-counter stuff was on hand. But about a year ago, things escalated when dry, flaky skin started creeping onto my face around my beard and mustache. It got so bad that trimming my beard left red, irritated marks that made me self-conscious every time I caught my reflection. I’d try everything reasonably available: drugstore shampoos, beard oils, even some “miracle” creams. Nothing stuck. Flakes would still rain down my shirt, and that scabby, dry look around my mustache was a constant embarrassment, especially on dark clothes.Then the ads for Flakes Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Set started flooding my feed—relentless, but they hooked me. Yeah, it’s pricey (that complete bundle with the scalp massager isn’t cheap), but desperation won out. I grabbed the men’s set with the included silicone scalp brush, figuring if it didn’t work, at least I’d have a fancy tool for head scratches.A month in, and holy relief—it’s a game-changer. I’ve been using it just once a week, and my dry skin is completely gone. No more flakes, no more scabs, no more dodging black shirts. My scalp and beard feel nourished, not stripped, and I can rock my full beard without a second thought. The routine is simple but effective: I wet everything down, apply a quarter-sized dollop of the cooling peppermint shampoo to my scalp and beard, massage it in with the scalp massager for a full five minutes (that brush is a beast—it digs in without irritating, like a mini spa session), then rinse. Follow up with the conditioner for another five minutes, focusing on the beard and ends, and rinse again. It stings a little at first—like a tingle from the 2% pyrithione zinc kicking in—but it’s a small price for the payoff.  The scent is fresh and forest-like, not some overpowering medicated funk, which is a huge win for daily wear.The massager deserves its own shoutout—it’s soft-bristled silicone that exfoliates gently while you lather, helping the formula penetrate without scratching up your scalp.  And being sulfate- and paraben-free means no dryness rebound, just healthy, hydrated hair that actually stays flake-free longer than anything else I’ve tried.  Sure, the initial sting and cost might turn some off, but for guys battling chronic dandruff or beard-area dryness like I was, this is worth every penny. It’s restored my confidence—no more hiding behind hoodies or awkward beard trims. If you’re tired of half-measures, give Flakes a shot. 5/5 stars; my scalp (and sanity) thanks you.

Really nice product. 2% pyrthione zinc was so helpful for scalp fungus. Hair fall significantly slowed. Conditioner is really helpful to soothe the scalp and provide softness/shine to hair. Pricey though

This works better than anything else out there for me. I had severe dandruff, flakes, itchy red scalp, etc.. To the point that I couldn't get too short of a haircut, or it was embarrassing to see my red, blotchy, flakey scalp.-Nizoral - Smells like Icy Hot, never worked.- Royce Derm - Actually did a decent job, but smelled like battery acid, looked like motor oil, and made my hair feel like hay.T/Sal - Nope.Head and Shoulder (Clinical Strength) - Complete joke.- Flakes - YES, YES, YES! It smells good, it works, my hair feels good, and my scalp is almost completely clear. It's pricey, but a little goes a long way. DO IT!!!

Bought in June, havent ran out until now, October. They last a decent amount of time for a guys Shampoo. They do work, the dandruff was cleared. Only thing is have to use it every day. If you dont shower one day or dont wash one day, the dandruff is back. Wish could go a day or so between washes without it being that noticeable.

My husband has been searching for years for an effective solution to his dry, flaky scalp, and this shampoo and conditioner set has made a remarkable difference. After just a few uses, we both observed significant improvements in the health of his hair and scalp.What we appreciate:- A noticeable decrease in flakes within the first week- His scalp feels soothed with reduced itching- The shampoo creates a good lather without being abrasive- The conditioner is lightweight yet provides ample moisture- Free of sulfates and parabens, so it doesn't strip the hairA few considerations:- The bottles are smaller (9 fl oz each), so frequent washers may need to repurchase sooner- The fragrance is subtle—we found it pleasant, but those sensitive to scents should verify beforehandOur experience:He's tried numerous options over the years, from over-the-counter brands and medicated shampoos to natural remedies, with minimal results. Within two weeks of using this set, his scalp appeared much healthier, and the visible flakes on his clothing were nearly eliminated. He reports feeling comfortable for the first time in years.In summary:If you've exhausted other dandruff treatments without success, this is worth trying. It could be the answer you've been seeking.

9/5. This stuff is amazing, and life changing. I had had scalp and dandruff issues for years. I've used everything on the market to treat this. Head and shoulders worked when I was a kid but has long since stopped doing anything. I tried a moroccan hair mask, the dermatologist perscribed ketacozole (or whatever, it smells awful), and T gel over the years. All of it would work for maybe a day, and my scalp flaked and peeled like crazy, it was so annoying and embarrassing.Flakes worked within two days and I have had no dandruff for over a year. I use every day or even every other day and it does a great job and also is just a nice shampoo to use.Only downside is small bottles not completely full. On the plus side here though you only need a very small amount and I rarely use the conditioner so can save that for later.
