Demodex Shampoo Plus - Extra Strength

I had an itchy scalp, eyebrows and ear for over a year. Didn't know what was causing it. Still don't. (Not lice.) Decided to try this and the itch is gone. In the shower, wet my hair, put enough on to cover my scalp and eyebrows, lathered it in and stuck some of the foam in my ear, left it on for 2-3 minutes while I brushed my teeth, washed it off. Did this once a day for 3 days. After third day, itch was gone. Maybe once every two months, I'll have a day where it feels like the itch is back. In this case, I'll massage a pea size onto that area, the itch goes away, and I just leave it on until I shower later in the evening.

I added some tea tree oil to this shampoo. Put it on my hair dry and left it on an hour. It worked. Only downside is cost for such a small bottle.

Does not make my hair shiny or soft. But makes my hair feel very clean. Scalp feels clean and hydrated . Easy to use and wash the hair. Smell is not that good but for a clean hair, i will purchase again!

an excellent product for clearing up demodectic mite infestations. (pets get this a lot. ) my husband was rx 'd a medication by his dermatologist for this infection on his scalp. $$$$$ and 2 week delivery. . . so we used this on his scalp instead-- put it on, let it sit a few minutes, wash it off. and it cleared his skin irritation in 3 days. (I had this product in our house because it is a useful soap for our dogs. )

Smelled different, kind of like kerosine. Did not work as well. I’ve used this product for years. This last batch did not work well. My head is itching again. Did ingredients change, maybe causing allergy? Wish I knew as this is all that ever worked for me.

This product—and the other Ovante OTC skin, hair, and ear products—are more effective than anything else I have tried. I had become skeptical about anything working other than the relatively toxic prescription remedies. This line, from Australia, is expensive, although there are some other brands far more so. But cost is irrelevant when an effective, safe solution for this maddening skin condition is available. Highly recommended.

I decided to try this shampoo because I read online the various reasons for feeling like your hair has sand in it and it feels gritty even though it's been washed with dandruff shampoo etc. I saw no signs of dandruff flakes. I could only feel the very gritty filling of little invisible little tiny pieces of sand. I ordered this on a Friday because I wasn't going to be able to see my dermatologist until the following week. I used the product when it arrived and wow it definitely helped and also eased some of the itch symptoms. I still plan on seeing my dermatologist for an official recommendation; but, this product gave me quick relief which is what I needed as I tried other products to no avail.

Smells good, thick so easy to use. Scalp still dry. Using other products is reason for 3 stars.
