Demodex Shampoo for Treatment of Scalp Demodicosis, 6 Ounce

This shampoo is helping me -- a lo!I've had an itchy scalp for years, and rosacea, too. Nothing I've tried has helped; it just kept getting worse and worse.The other day, I read an article (http://jonbarron.org/article/mites-and-rosacea#.VTlRj5MapOY) that talked about studies that have shown that many rosacea sufferers have an overgrowth of the microscopic skin mites that nearly all of us have on our skin. The article recommended trying this soap: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VTZZUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and mentioned shampoo, too, for the overgrowth of mites on the scalp.I was a bit hesitant, since so many other products had failed to help me. But the article was written by Jon Barron, an alternative health researcher whose work I trust, so I decide to go forward. I ordered two bars of the soap, one for in the shower and one for my bathroom sink. I also ordered this shampoo, which claims to control these microscopic skin mites on the scalp.I've been using both of these these products for three days now. This is day four. I use the soap twice a day, once in the morning when I shower, and again when I wash my face just before I go to bed. I use the shampoo every day, when I shower. I'm following all directions as closely as I can, leaving the products on for a few minutes, etc.I noticed a difference immediately. Within a day or two, my scalp had stopped itching and had lost whatever those little bumps were that were making it itch! The soap is working too: The rosacea on my face is at least 33% improved. I still can't believe my eyes, when I look in the mirror.I would never say that either the shampoo or the soap are lovely products, but I was looking for something that works, and they do!And don't get discouraged! The first day or two, the shampoo hardly foamed up at all and left my hair feeling dry and heavy, like there was still soap in my hair. However, yesterday was much better. Perhaps the shampoo was removing residue from my previous hair-care products? I don't know, but this shampoo is foaming now, and my hair feels clean and more "normal" again.By the way, a little of this shampoo goes a long way, so I'm feeling more comfortable about the high price tag. But then, I'd have paid most anything for a product that worked, considering all the money I've wasted on products that don't!Like other reviewers have noted, the shampoo has a weird fragrance, kind of earthy and medicinal, but the scent is not all that strong or all that bad. And it's true that the smell doesn't linger.Also, I'm trying to be very careful about recontamination, so I'm changing my pillowcase every evening, before I go to bed.The improvement in how comfortable my scalp feels has been remarkable, especially in such a short time. The soap is working wonders on the rosacea, too. After all these years, these are the first products I've tried that have made any difference at all.I'm so happy that any negatives pale in comparison to the effectiveness. I was looking for products that work, and these are working great-- so five stars it is!

I have been using it for almost a year now, and this is by far the best shampoo I have ever used (ranging from my use of many salon grade shampoos to drugstore brands). My primary doctor and dermatologist could not figure out the severe itching I was experiencing with my scalp. The first instinctual diagnosis was dandruff, but none of those familiar dandruff shampoos worked. They actually dried out my hair and made the itching worse. I then tried salon grade tea tree oil shampoos and that did not help either and made the itching worse as well. For years in my mid-twenties, I could not for the life of me figure out what was going on, and the itching was enough to disrupt my daily life. After years of trying different remedies and products, I came across an article about demodex mites and itchy scalp. I immediately began looking up solutions for itchiness caused by demodex mites and came across this shampoo. The idea of mites sounded crazy, but I figured of all the things I have already tried, why not one more? After the first wash I noticed an immediate difference and after a few washes my itching had subsided significantly. I honestly could not believe the difference it was starting to make. After a couple weeks of daily use, the itching had completely stopped. It has been almost a year now, and this shampoo has been absolutely great. I notice my hair feels cleaner, a different kind of clean that seems to stay cleaner longer as I now am able to skip a few days between washes. Before using this, I would not have dared going more than 24 hours without washing my hair due to the constant itch. Now my long locks definitely stay cleaner longer with no issues of residue, build-up, or itching, and I actually feel normal again. I cannot say how much this product has changed my life (which sounds ridiculous), but it truly has. One bottle lasts me about a month, but I also have long, thick hair. After blow-drying my hair is shiny, easy to manage, and stays super soft and frizz-free for days after a quick flat-iron. The only thing I had to get used to is the smell. I can best describe it as an "organic" smell. Considering the nourishing and natural ingredients, the smell is expected. Upon my first time opening the bottle (which is double-sealed for freshness) I was weary of the smell, but I have actually grown to really like it. I now find it to be awakening and refreshing. Now that the itch is gone, I have tried going back to salon-grade shampoos and using this once a week. However, my hair just isn't as soft and manageable when I skip using this, so now I primarily use this as it NEVER builds up, and NEVER disappoints me. It also does a great job at removing product build-up leftover from other products. I honestly can't say enough great things about this shampoo. I truly hope Amazon continues to offer this shampoo with free Prime shipping. Give it a try, it may work for you too!

This product along with sulfur bar soap was very effective after 3-4 uses. I would give 5 stars, however the bottle was only 3/4 full when it arrived. It was pricey.I had been suffering for almost 2 years a rash on the back of my neck. That itched mostly at night. I was miserable and two doctors including a dermatologist treated me with expensive steroids for dermatitis. What a joke. I obviously had skin mites bc this product eradicated the problem literally in less than a week and after one shampoo and conditioner immediately felt relief from excruciating itching. Thank you for carrying this product.

During washing, I can mainly only smell the tea tree oil, which I don’t mind at all. It doesn’t lather well, so if you have thick hair, you will have to use quite a bit to coat your scalp. With the price point and small bottle size, that’s a bummer. After drying, my hair feels soft and looks shiny. Although, I can’t get over the lingering smell of sulfur that follows after my hair dries. It’s not too bad and partner tells me that it smells fine, but it’s definitely there for a few days..
