Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Pink Grapefruit Clarifying Shampoo for Oily Hair, 12 fl oz — pH-Balanced, Sulfate-Free

Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Pink Grapefruit Shampoo is a pH-balanced, non-drying clarifying shampoo formulated to remove residue and excess oil while preserving color and leaving hair soft and shiny.

This clarifying shampoo for oily hair combines a lightweight cleansing system with pink grapefruit extract so you can wash away buildup without stripping moisture. It’s non-medicated and formulated without sulfated surfactants (SLS/SLES), parabens, or phthalates, making it suitable for regular use on most hair types, including color-treated strands. The formula aims to refresh the scalp environment and restore manageability and shine after repeated use.

How does this shampoo tackle greasy hair without drying it out?

The formula uses a gentler surfactant system rather than strong sulfates, which helps lift oil and product residue while maintaining the scalp’s natural balance. Because it’s pH-balanced and non-drying, hair should feel clean and soft instead of tight or brittle after rinsing.

• pH-balanced cleansing for scalp comfort
• No sulfated surfactants to reduce harsh stripping
• Lightweight texture that rinses clean
• Leaves hair manageable and softer to the touch

Can I use this on color-treated hair?

Yes—this clarifying shampoo is formulated to be safe for color-treated hair by avoiding harsh sulfates and focusing on gentle removal of surface buildup. It helps clear residues that can dull color while supporting a refreshed look without unnecessary fading from aggressive detergents.

• Gentle cleansing preserves color vibrancy
• Removes styling and mineral buildup that masks shine
• Suitable for regular use as part of a color-care routine
• Pairs well with conditioners designed for color protection

What kind of scent and sensory experience does it deliver?

The shampoo features a bright pink grapefruit fragrance that gives a fresh, citrusy wash experience. The scent is uplifting but not overpowering, and the lightweight lather makes rinsing quick and easy, leaving hair feeling refreshed rather than weighed down.

• Refreshing pink grapefruit aroma
• Light foam that rinses cleanly
• No greasy after-feel—hair moves freely after drying
• Formulation avoids heavy silicones that weigh hair down

How often should I use this clarifying shampoo?

Frequency depends on your scalp oiliness and styling routine: use weekly to biweekly as a clarifying wash, or more often if you accumulate heavy product or excess oil quickly. For many people, alternating this shampoo with a milder daily cleanser balances freshness with moisture retention.

• Use weekly for general buildup removal
• Biweekly or more if you use many styling products
• Alternate with a gentler daily shampoo to maintain hydration
• Follow with a lightweight conditioner if hair needs extra softness

Who is this for: Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Pink Grapefruit Shampoo is designed for people with oily or residue-prone hair who want a clarifying option that’s gentle enough for regular use. It’s a good match for color-treated hair, everyday commuters with product or pollution buildup, and anyone seeking a refreshing citrus-scented shampoo that cleans deeply without harsh sulfates. If you prefer lightweight formulas that restore shine and manageability, this clarifying shampoo is formulated to fit into a routine that emphasizes scalp freshness and softer-feeling hair.
