Neutrogena Clarify & Shine Exfoliating Conditioner for Oily Scalp, 12 fl oz — Pink Grapefruit, Sulfate-Free & Color-Safe

Neutrogena Healthy Scalp Clarify & Shine Conditioner is a sulfate-free, pink-grapefruit scented anti-residue conditioner that gently exfoliates and conditions oily scalps while leaving hair shiny and color-safe.

This clarifying conditioner combines cleansing and conditioning in one step for hair that feels refreshed without being stripped. Formulated for oily scalps but suitable for straight, wavy, and curly hair, the gentle non-medicated formula helps remove residue and build-up, supports the scalp's natural barrier, and is free from parabens, phthalates, SLS, and SLES. Use regularly or pair with the matching Clarify and Shine Shampoo to maintain balanced, radiant-looking hair and scalp health.

How does this conditioner remove residue without drying hair out?

The formula uses non-sulfated surfactants and exfoliating agents that lift product build-up and excess oil while a conditioning base softens strands. It’s pH-balanced to avoid overdrying and safe for color-treated hair, so shine and manageability are preserved after use.

• Sulfate-free surfactants that clarify gently
• Light exfoliation to clear buildup on the scalp
• pH-balanced conditioning to reduce dryness
• Color-safe formulation to protect treated hair

Will it work if I have oily scalp but curly or textured hair?

Yes — the product is designed for oily scalps across hair types, including curly and textured patterns. It clarifies the scalp while delivering detangling and moisturizing benefits so curls remain defined rather than feeling stripped.

• Formulated to suit straight, wavy, and curly hair
• Gentle conditioning to retain curl shape and softness
• Non-medicated, everyday-friendly clarifying action
• Helps remove styling product buildup that can weigh curls down

How do I use it for best results in my routine?

Apply after shampooing with the companion Clarify and Shine Shampoo or your regular shampoo: massage into scalp and through mid-lengths to ends, leave for a minute if desired, then rinse. For weekly deep-refresh, focus more on the scalp to dislodge buildup; for daily light use, apply sparingly to lengths to maintain softness and shine.

• Use with matching Clarify and Shine Shampoo for a coordinated routine
• Massage into the scalp to target residue and oil
• Leave briefly for extra conditioning, then rinse thoroughly
• Adjust frequency based on oiliness and styling product use

What ingredients or claims should I expect on the label?

The bottle highlights that it’s free from parabens, phthalates, SLS and SLES, and contains pink grapefruit for a refreshing scent. The formulation is labeled color-safe and non-medicated, emphasizing gentle exfoliation and scalp-friendly conditioning rather than pharmacological treatment.

• Pink grapefruit fragrance for a fresh scent
• Free from parabens, phthalates, SLS and SLES
• Non-medicated and pH-balanced
• Color-safe — suitable for chemically treated hair

Who this is for: This conditioner is aimed at anyone dealing with oily scalp or regular product buildup who wants a single-step product to clarify and moisturize. It’s a good match for people with daily styling routines, those with color-treated hair seeking gentle clarification, and anyone preferring sulfate-free, fragrance-forward haircare options.
