Pharmacy shampoos for oily scalp

Do you wash your hair every day, but by evening your curls still turn into dull icicles? You may simply be using the wrong shampoo. In our rating, we will try to identify those shampoos that really help with oily scalp.

The best manufacturers of shampoos for oily hair

Shampoos for oily hair are much less common on the shelves than, say, for dry or colored hair. But still there is a choice. Among store-bought products, Green Mama, Le Petit Marseillais, Natura Siberica, Fructic, luxury Kerastase and even the budget Clean Line are most often noted. However, we will not over-praise them, because... their effectiveness was generally lower than that of professional and pharmacy cosmetics.

Professional products have a good reputation: Londa, Loreal Professionel, Wella, Estel. They are highly effective in cleaning hair and provide curls with a beautiful appearance. But the most attractive for solving the problem of oily hair are pharmacy shampoos. They contain the most gentle, often sulfate-free, surfactants, are focused on long-term results, do not disturb the hydrolipid balance of the scalp, and even with prolonged use do not cause dry skin (which is the sin of almost all representatives of the mass market).

At the same time, we would like to emphasize that the quality and effectiveness of a shampoo is determined not by the brand, but by the composition. Therefore, transparent and translucent products with a soft detergent base, plant extracts and a minimum of oils and silicones are always more preferable for oily hair, regardless of their brand and price.

“At first I was surprised by such a liquid texture, but after washing I was very pleased. My hair gets dirty very quickly and by the evening it looks very dirty. And after this shampoo you are fresh all day! The hair shines and “falls apart”, just like in childhood.

Loreal Professionel Pure Resource
best clarifying shampoo for normal to oily hair

Average price in Russia for 250 ml: 600 rub.

Pure Resource is a gentle and effective shampoo for oily hair. This shampoo has a short and not “flowery” composition, which, in general, is typical for professional products.

“Pleasant, easy to use, economical. The best shampoo for those with oily roots and dry ends. But it’s still worth alternating it with another shampoo so as not to dry out the skin.”

Alerana against hair loss for oily and combination hair
good pharmaceutical shampoo against oiliness and hair loss

Average price in Russia for 250 ml: 360 rub.

Why in our rating: solution to two problems.

Alerana medicinal shampoo helps to cope with two troubles at once, which often go hand in hand: oiliness and hair loss. The product takes into account the characteristics of oily skin. Horse chestnut and nettle extract normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands; other plant components (burdock, wormwood, cedar), hydrolyzed protein, panthenol and provitamin B5 effectively cope with hair loss.

Green Mama Blackcurrant and Nettle
one of the best inexpensive shampoos for oily hair

Average price in Russia for 400 ml: 190 rub.

Why in our rating: good herbal composition.

The detergent base of the shampoo consists of relatively soft surfactants: sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine and lauryl glucoside. According to the manufacturer, 98% of the composition is occupied by herbal ingredients that are beneficial for oily hair: nettle, black currant, St. John's wort, coltsfoot, cedar.

“It’s great for oily hair. It’s just that hair tangling has increased (compared to shampoos with silicones). But the balm successfully solves this problem.”

Le Petit Marseillais White Clay and Jasmine
high-quality store-bought shampoo for oily hair

Average price in Russia for 250 ml: 160 rub.

Le Petit Marseillais offers cleansing + moisturizing for oily hair. A more or less successful attempt to create a gentle caring shampoo for oily hair. Zinc pyroglutamate and salicylic acid have a mild antibacterial and drying effect. Glycerin, lecithin and vegetable oil retain moisture on the skin and hair. The composition claims to contain kaolin, however, its position in the second half of the list of ingredients raises doubts about the effectiveness of this component. But in general, among the monotonous store-bought shampoos of the mid-price group, “little Marseilles” looks decent.

Pros:

1. effective hair cleansing;
2. moisturizing components in the composition.

Minus: tangles hair.

Typical reviews of Le Petit Marseillais shampoo "White Clay and Jasmine" 250 ml:

“Very economical, you only need a little for short hair. Pleasant jasmine scent. I use it with a conditioner of the same name (in a green tube), otherwise my hair still gets tangled.”

“In general, the shampoo is not bad. Of course, there is nothing supernatural in it, but this is not what you should expect from a shampoo. Its job is to gently cleanse the hair, and in my opinion, it does an excellent job.”

Natura Siberica Volume and balance
the most popular shampoo for oily hair

Average price in the Russian Federation: 280 rub.

The “Volume and Balance” shampoo broke all sales records, so we simply could not not include it in our rating. This representative of organic cosmetics does not contain sulfates at all, and the cleaning power is provided by the lauryl glucoside and amino acids included in the composition. Rich herbal composition that does not weigh down hair. True, it doesn’t wash them perfectly, so it’s not suitable for everyone.

Pros:

1. price;
2. foams well for a product without SLS;
3. does not dry out hair.

Minuses:

1. uneconomical;
2. It’s difficult to comb your hair without additional care products;
3. does not add shine;

Typical shampoo reviews Natura Siberica Volume and balance:

“The aroma is pleasant, the lid is convenient, the composition is interesting. It foams moderately, but rinses well. The hair after it is soft, although without the declared volume.”

“For the idea of ​​an inexpensive sulfate-free shampoo, you can safely give it an A, but in reality it doesn’t add shine at all, your hair becomes very tangled, and your skin sometimes itches. You have to wash your hair more often, not less often.”

Batiste Original
best dry shampoo for oily hair

Average price in the Russian Federation: 400 rub.

Aerosol dry shampoo is suitable for all hair types, but especially for oily hair. The absorbent (talc) included in the composition quickly absorbs oil from the surface of the hair and is then easily removed by combing.

The best dry shampoo for oily hair - the hair became clean and at the same time soft and pleasant to the touch.”

“Easy to use and real results: clean, fresh, voluminous hair with a pleasant aroma. It lasts for a day, then, of course, you still need to wash your hair.”

Clean line Regulating
best inexpensive shampoo for very oily hair

Average price in Russia for 400 ml: 90 rub.

A clean line is cheap, cheerful, but effective. Inexpensive domestic shampoo attracts not only its price, but also its adequate composition. The usual sodium laureth sulfate as a cleaning agent and a large set of herbal ingredients to reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands make “Clean Line” a worthy competitor to most more expensive products from the store shelf. Recommended for very oily scalp and only for occasional use, because... It's quite drying.

Pros:

1. affordable price;
2. washes oily curls well.

Minuses:

1. with prolonged use, it dries out the scalp;
