I have been gifted the Cantu shampoo and conditioner for scalp relief by the Superdrug Community for test and review.
Cantu Hair Products
Whenever I think of Cantu hair products, I always think of the stuff I used to buy for my little girls curly hair – it was amazing at taming her wild curls. I never thought of it as a shampoo and conditioner for scalp relief!
Both the shampoo and conditioner contain antioxidant-rich actives such as:
- Guava, which is a hydrating tropical fruit
- Ginger, which has soothing properties and strengthens the hair
- Apple Cider Vinegar, which helps with exfoliating
- Tea Tree, which is an essential oil that soothes the scalp.
The Cantu shampoo also contains salicylic acid. This helps to remove excess oil, reducing inflammation and scalp acne. Perfect for what I wanted!

My Hair Issues
This shampoo and conditioner has come at an ideal time, as my scalp seems to be having a breakout of spots. I wash my hair daily, and I assume what I was using didn’t agree with my scalp!
Recommended Use
It is recommended to use this shampoo and conditioner twice a week, washing your hair twice when using the shampoo.
My Final Thoughts
The smell of this shampoo and conditioner is lovely and refreshing, and once applied to the hair, you could really feel the tea tree working on the scalp.
The shampoo lathers up really well, and being someone who washes their hair every day, I didn’t need to wash my hair a second time. When I rinsed off the shampoo, I was expecting it to feel squeaky clean, but I guess the shampoo must coat the hair, which is what would help with the curls.


The conditioner was lovely and creamy and made my hair feel very nourished and soft, which is very important to me as I do wash my hair daily.


Although it’s early days yet, I have found that the Cantu scalp relief shampoo and conditioner has taken the inflammation down on my scalp. So I have high hopes that this will help with my scalp acne.
The Cantu shampoo and conditioner is definitely a great combo. The shampoo made my scalp feel refreshed, and the conditioner made each strand of hair feel moisturised and nourished.
