Dove Pure Care Sublime Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

I have quite a spoiled scalp so it is hard to find a shampoo that doesn’t irritate it. Most of the shampoos are too aggressive and aggravate my dermatitis (my scalp turns red and itchy; I have to apply special cream from the dermatologist to calm it down). I have only 2-3 shampoos that work ok but I have to switch between them in order to make them work. Plus, two of them are quite expensive and the third one is hard to get, only online. So of course, I’m trying to find something good available at the drugstore. I heard some good reviews on Dove Pure Care Sublime Oil shampoo so I decided to purchase it together with the conditioner and see how they work.

Price: both shampoo and conditioner cost 5,49€ but Dove was on sale, 25% off so it cost only 4,11€ each.

Scent: they have nutty scent with little bit of fruit aroma.

Dove Pure Care Sublime Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

My experience:

Shampoo: it is almost transparent, light brown gel that foams up well. It is not rich thick foam as in case of Redken Diamond Oil (that is quite often being compared to it). Redken Diamond oil shampoo is one of my favourites so that’s why I wanted to try Dove Sublime Oil as well. Dove leaves hair very light while the Redken one makes it little bit heavy feeling. Apparently it leaves less of the residue than the Redken shampoo which is good when your hair is fine like mine. My scalp likes it a lot, it doesn’t get irritated or red so it is quickly becoming one of my favourite shampoos.

It is good and cheap so it will be definitely included in my shampoo rotation.

Conditioner: it has medium brown colour and light cream texture. I have quite dry hair so I really need good conditioning. I used the conditioner heavily but it didn’t work well for me. I used up the whole bottle and I can really say that it didn’t give me enough moisture and my hair didn’t feel very smooth or shiny looking.

While the shampoo is excellent the conditioner is not moisturising enough for me so I won’t repurchase it.
