GET RID OF THE FLAKES & Itch

Two Problems, One Bottle
Alpha M. Approved

Dandruff is two separate annoyances. The flaking and the itching. Most shampoos pick one. This handles both.

Made for Stubborn Dandruff

When regular dandruff shampoos stop working, this extra-strength formula is built to tackle persistent flakes and itch.

Cools the Itch Immediately

Peppermint, tea tree, and menthol deliver an instant cooling sensation that helps calm an irritated scalp.

Treats the Cause, Not Just the Symptoms

Coal tar slows the process that creates dandruff instead of simply washing flakes away.

Dandruff Gone, or Your Money Back

If it doesn't work for you within 30 days of your first order, we'll refund your purchase. No hassle.

Reviews From People Who'd Tried Everything Else

Effective dandruff shampoo

I have used a few dandruff shampoos in my day. This one was the first to work after the first application.

The tingle on the head is nice but the scent was sooo strong that I could barely open my eyes. The product works well and is worth the money.

The BEST dandruff shampoo out there!

My husband has the worst dandruff flakes and fry and itchy scalp. He has tried shampoo after shampoo. Paid a lot of money over the years and by far this is the best we have ever bought!

His dry scalp went away right away. He uses it 2 days a week and on those days it’s wonderful, on the off days he uses other stuff and it just shows us how wonderful Pete & Pedro is, flakes everywhere!

Wish he could use this shampoo every time! :) We love it!

It's the Best!

It works great and doesn't have the coal tar odor. I also use the peppermint conditioner with it.

Thank you, Pete & Pedro!

WOW.......... THIS SHAMPOO IS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS

I normally don't write reviews unless something is horrible or amazing.

After going through 7 different shampoos, 4 of them prescribed by a dermatologist, neither of them really gave me any progress.

This product started working almost immediately. It smells great and feels amazing on your scalp as it has some smoothing mint. I hope this product will remain available for years as there is nothing out there that nearly comes close in formulation and quality.

Good Product

At first I wasn't sure how I would feel about this product, however once I started using it regularly I love it!

It cleans without stripping my hair. Smell is fantastic and my hair has a softness and shine that it hasn't had in a while.

Substitute for Denorex

With Denorex therapeutic hard to find, I tried Pete and Pedro's dandruff shampoo.

This not only works as well as Denorex, but the peppermint aroma is an improvement over the medicinal smell of Denorex.

I may stick with this shampoo even if Denirex makes a return.

What's Actually in the Bottle

One active doing the hard work, plus the stuff that stops the itch immediately.

Coal Tar Solution 6.25% (Coal Tar 0.50%)

• Fights dandruff caused by seborrheic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis
• Slows the skin cell turnover that creates flakes
• The reason this works when zinc hasn't

Peppermint, Tea Tree & Menthol · Instant Relief

• Soothes itchiness and irritation
• Relief you feel in the shower, not in three weeks
• Takes the edge off while the coal tar does the slower work

Glycerin · Hydration

• Antioxidant-rich golden seaweed extract
• Soothes and conditions the scalp
• Adds deep, lasting hydration for softer hair

SEE WHY IT WORKS

Coal Tar vs. Zinc

Almost every dandruff shampoo on the shelf is built around zinc. Here's what changes when the active is coal tar instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about fixing flat hair in seconds.

What makes CONTROL different from standard drugstore brands?

Most dandruff shampoos are built around zinc, which goes after the yeast on your scalp. Coal tar works on the other side of it, slowing the rate at which your scalp turns over skin cells. If the drugstore stuff hasn't fixed it for you, that's usually why.

How often should I be using this shampoo?

Because it’s extra-strength, you should start slow, 1 to 2 times a week, and see how your hair responds. Shake well, work it into a lather on wet hair, rinse thoroughly, and repeat for best results.

I have fine or thinning hair. Will this help?

Yes. It coats each strand and adds grit at the root, so fine or thinning hair looks noticeably fuller. (It makes hair look fuller, it isn't a hair-growth treatment.)

How long does it take to apply?

About 9 seconds. 3 to 5 pumps on damp hair, tousle with your fingers, done.

Can I use it if I just have an itchy scalp and not real dandruff?

Yes. Peppermint, tea tree, and menthol soothe itchiness and irritation whether or not you're flaking. It's as much an anti-itch shampoo as a dandruff one.

Does it have a strong medicinal smell?

While Coal Tar has a distinct profile, we've infused this formula with Peppermint Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and Menthol. It leaves your scalp feeling cold and your hair smelling fresh and invigorated.

Can I use it with my other Pete & Pedro products?

Yes. Wash with Control, then style however you normally do.

Is CONTROL safe for women to use too?

Absolutely. Dandruff doesn't discriminate, and neither do we. CONTROL is highly effective for anyone, regardless of gender, struggling with relentless itching or scalp irritation.

What is the 'Dandruff Be Gone' Guarantee?

We are so confident this is the best dandruff shampoo on the market that we offer a 30-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you aren't flake-free, you don't pay.
