How well does this work to prevent scalp acne? I have tried Zincplex and MenScience with limited results. I am looking for something that works!

Its not that great. I didn't see a lot of difference. Also it has a drying effect on scalp and hair, which didn't suit me. So I don't use it anymore. Have tried a few shampoos now, I started using scalpicin for sometime. Now I just use Aveda Scalp balancing shampoo, which doesn't dry my hair and has kept the flakes and itching in check.

I'm not saying it wouldn't work for you, but after my experience, I wouldn't use it for anything. If you haven't tried Head and Shoulders for dry scalp, that might be worth a shot. Another thing you might want to consider is your diet. Google "dry scalp and diet" and see what comes up. What you consume can make a difference.

In my 30s, I still break out easily from bad products in hair/skin. This hasnt been a problem at all with Axe. But since it's so thick, I dont think it ever comes into contact with my scalp. You'd have to thin it out with water and work a ton of product in your hair to the ever reach the scalp. If your son is under 20, please research on this product's safety in teens and young men. I've read articles that it can interfere with me testosterone. Could be BS, and the report may have only been for underarm products, but definitely worth checking into. If he hasn't tried garnier fructis products yet, I have nothing but good experiences with them. They're just too pricey

Yes it works. It works fast and I only use it very lightly once every 6-8 weeks (if that). My first week, I used it 3 times -Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then I didn't use it again for probably 3 weeks and then used it again only because I remembered. So during that time, no flakes, lot less itching. After that I opted to wait until I actually saw flakes or became itchy to use it again which was probably 2 months. Used it once and it took care of it again for another 8 weeks or so. Bottom line is it works. Doesn't stink. Doesn't weigh hair down. Don't have to use it often. For someone like me who had serious itching and dandruff (almost to point of scratching scars into my scalp), it was a miracle. BTW* I wash my hair 4 times per week (too much washing actually aggravates dandruff not to mention dry out your hair). Read up about how frequent you should wash, from the professionals and most will tell you every day washing is bad news. Believe me, your hair won't turn into a funky-gunky oily mess washing just 4 times per week.

Don't know about the acne, but it sure has worked for my old, dry, thin skin. I've found the stuff to be pretty incredible. Couldn't hurt to give it a try on a limited area and see how it goes after a week or two. That's what I did with one arm and now use it on both. Follow directions and don't use too much of it is my recommendation.

My husband uses 2 capsules a day and it helps control his cystic acne. However, we have not heard or read so far if it has any effect on thinning hair.

You might like Bump Patrol Shaving gel. It seems to clear my acne up somewhat. I buy mine on Walmart.com for half the price. I'm a white male and white men use Bump Patrol. Great stuff.

I am not sure because I tried it a long time ago and it is alright shampoo and pretty good moisturizing , but there is nothing miracle about it. It is just a shampoo. It will not clarify as good but it only lather alright , I would say 1.2 but not for people with oily scalp. I think I know why , it has natural ingredients but it needs more working in process to know what natural ingredients that can elimate oily scalp. It won't make your hair more oily. You have wrong idea... some people with oily scalp have uncontrollable sebrum that allow hair to look heavy or too oily. There is nothing you can do with shampoo daily but try use good moisturizing tree tea shampoo to put a stop to it .

After using this I have tried 2 other shampoos and conditions you can found at any general store (Target, Wal-Mart, etc) for hair loss, but I unfortunately have not found anything that helps. The bald spot keeps on getting bigger, it is hard to say if the products themselves are bogus or if my hair loss has some sort of other factor to it, I have not seen a doctor about it or anything. I do however, make sure to do exactly as the directions say to use them.

Yes, I have had great results with MetaDerm, but it does take some time. I did the 12 week treatment and it does work. I still use it twice a day and my friends have noticed my scalp is much clearer than it has been in years. try it you will be happy.

It's for people experiencing scalp problems. My suggestion would be to follow the instructions and try it on a very small patch of hair that's not visible so you can see how your hair or scalp reacts to it.

I get the Equate Walmart brand which is just as good and quite a bit cheaper. I pour it into the cap (I don't use the foam) and part my hair in small sections and apply it with a small cotton ball. Just dip it in and dab it on. If you have the foam I would just put it in the cap and put it on with your fingers. Either way, don't forget to wash your hands! I have a great deal of itching with it and find that if I wash my hair often it isn't as bad (I have long hair). I also apply it at night. I wash my hair every fourth day probably. Hope this helps. I do want to add that this stuff works like a charm! I've been using it around 5 months and am thrilled with the hair growth. I also use Head and Shoulders Full and Strong and Aveeno Nourish plus dandruff control because they both have pyrithione zinc which my doc told me to use. They aren't medicinal at all.

Hi there.. my son is the one using the product, hes 11 y/o, no problem so far,, I'm letting him use the shampoo once a wk, can be strong for your scalp, if you have any other major problems you may need a Dermatologist because can be something else like Psoriasis or a severe dermatitis, and some patients needs other medication, but no side effects at this moment good product so far ;)

It definitely helps mine. I don't get acne but razor bumps and ingrown hairs and this is now the only stuff I use.

I thought it was working for me. But I have discovered my hair gets thin in cycles, then comes in again. It is hard to tell if it's the Hair Max or not. Knowing what I know now I probably wouldn't buy it again. Hair Max does seem to give my hair body. Not much help, sorry.

Sorry, I haven't used it on my scalp. I used it on a callous for my pet, but it didn't help.
