Dove Derma Scalp Oil Control Shampoo is a dermatologist-developed 16 fl oz formula that gently removes oil and product build-up while supporting the scalp’s moisture barrier.

This shampoo combines cleansing and care to refresh oily scalps without over-drying hair. Formulated with glycerin to manage excess sebum and niacinamide to help restore the scalp’s protective barrier, it’s made to lift residue from styling products and environmental grime while preserving vital hydration. The 16-ounce bottle provides multiple washes and fits into a scalp-focused routine alongside complementary Dove Derma Scalp products.

How does this shampoo remove oil and product build-up without stripping moisture?

The formula balances effective surfactants with humectants so it lifts oils and residues but leaves natural moisture behind. Rather than relying on harsh detergents, it uses ingredients that rinse cleanly and glycerin to attract and retain water.

• Gently emulsifies sebum and styling build-up for easy rinsing
• Glycerin helps maintain hydration during cleansing
• Non-drying surfactant system avoids roughening the scalp

What role does niacinamide play for scalp health?

Niacinamide supports the scalp’s natural moisture barrier, helping the skin retain hydration and stay resilient. This ingredient helps create conditions that reduce sensitivity and improve the scalp environment over regular use.

• Supports barrier function to reduce moisture loss
• Helps the scalp recover from environmental stressors
• Works synergistically with glycerin for balanced hydration

Can I use this with other Dove Derma Scalp products and styling routines?

Yes — the Oil Control Shampoo is designed to complement Dove’s scalp collection, including conditioners and targeted treatments. Use it as the cleansing step in your regimen to remove build-up before applying conditioner or a leave-on scalp treatment.

• Pairs with conditioner for balanced moisture after cleansing
• Prepares the scalp for serums or treatments by removing residue
• Suitable for regular use in most styling routines

Is this product suited for everyday use and sensitive scalps?

The gentle, dermatologist-developed formula is intended for frequent use and avoids stripping the scalp. While it’s crafted to be mild, anyone with specific scalp conditions should consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
