Our verdict

A sensible companion product for existing Nizoral shampoo users looking to clear buildup before the anti-dandruff wash, though it is not meant to work as a standalone treatment.

Overview

Nizoral's Pre-Shampoo Scalp Build-Up Remover is a 5 oz exfoliating treatment meant to be applied to dry hair before Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. It uses a micro-exfoliating technology to lift residue and dead skin ahead of the wash, and is free of sulfates, parabens, dyes and added fragrance.

This is built as a companion step to a specific shampoo rather than a standalone scalp treatment, so its value depends on already using Nizoral's anti-dandruff line. It is positioned squarely as prep work, done before shampooing rather than instead of it.

  • 5 oz pre-shampoo exfoliating prep
  • Micro-exfoliating technology for buildup and residue
  • Free of sulfates, parabens, dyes and fragrance
  • Safe for color-treated and gray hair

Who it's for

People who already use Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and want a build-up removing prep step first, including those with color-treated, chemically processed or gray hair.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Free of sulfates, parabens, artificial fragrance and dyes
  • Listed as safe for color-treated, chemically processed and gray hair
  • Simple pre-shampoo prep step
Cons
  • Formulated specifically to pair with Nizoral shampoo rather than to work alone

Performance notes

It is applied to a dry scalp before shampooing, massaged in, and left to sit for a few minutes so the micro-exfoliating technology can loosen buildup, residue and dead skin cells, then rinsed out during the Nizoral shampoo wash.
