Haircare Reinvented with Dermatologists
Introducing the next generation of scalp and hair care, formulated without common irritants and allergens like sulfates, MIT, dyes, parabens, phthalates, and fragrance.
Gentle Formulas, Clinically Proven
Why do we formulate our products without Fragrance?
Fragrance chemicals can be irritating and may cause allergic reactions in some people’s skin. Because of this, many dermatologists recommend using fragrance-free products, and we formulate without fragrance for this reason.
What is MIT and why do we formulate our products without it?
Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a synthetic preservative used in consumer products to inhibit bacterial growth. Used at certain concentrations, MIT has been known to cause allergic reactions in some people, and we formulate without MIT for this reason.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fragrance-free conditioner help me avoid scalp irritation during my daily shower ritual?
Yes. The fragrance-free, dye-free formula eliminates common irritants that trigger scalp flare-ups. Combined with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it supports your scalp barrier while you unwind, making your shower a calming part of your self-care routine rather than a source of discomfort.
How does the 72-hour hydration claim support my wellness routine?
This extended hydration means you're not constantly reapplying or worrying about dryness. It reduces daily stress about hair maintenance and lets you focus on other aspects of your wellness—fewer applications, less product waste, and lasting comfort.
Is this conditioner suitable for a wind-down evening hair care routine?
Absolutely. The fragrance-free, gentle formula won't irritate your scalp during evening self-care. The ceramides and niacinamide work overnight to support your scalp barrier, so you wake up with calmer, more hydrated hair and scalp.
What makes this a 'dermatologist-developed' conditioner for sensitive wellness needs?
CeraVe's dermatologist formulation starts with proven ingredients like ceramides (which your skin naturally relies on) and hyaluronic acid. It's allergy-tested and free from sulfates, parabens, and MIT—designed by the same experts who created trusted skincare for sensitive skin conditions.
Can I use this as part of a complete scalp wellness system?
Yes. Pair it with CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo to create a complete system that supports your scalp barrier twice daily. Together, they reinforce your scalp's natural defenses while maintaining hydration—a holistic approach to hair and scalp wellness.
How do I use CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner for best results?
After shampooing with CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo, apply conditioner to damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends. Leave on for 1–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. For 72-hour hydration, use consistently with each wash.
Can I use this conditioner with non-CeraVe shampoos?
Yes, this conditioner works with any shampoo. However, pairing it with CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo creates a complete system optimized for scalp barrier support and maximum hydration. The two products complement each other's ceramide and hyaluronic acid benefits.
What's included in the CeraVe 6-pack, and do I need to buy anything separately?
The 6-pack includes six 9oz bottles of Gentle Hydrating Conditioner—everything you need for consistent use. To complete your routine, you may want CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo, but the conditioner alone works with any shampoo you prefer.
Is CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner safe for all hair types?
Yes. It's formulated for all hair types, including curly, color-treated, and chemically processed hair. The ceramides and hyaluronic acid support sensitive scalps while delivering hydration without heaviness—suitable from fine to coarse textures.
What's the difference between CeraVe's 9oz and 19oz conditioner bottles?
Both contain the identical formula and deliver the same benefits. The 9oz is ideal for travel or testing, while the 19oz offers better value for daily use. The 6-pack (9oz × 6) provides convenience for bulk buying and consistent household supply.
Why does CeraVe use ceramides and hyaluronic acid in a hair conditioner?
Ceramides strengthen your scalp barrier (same function they serve in skincare), while hyaluronic acid draws moisture deep into hair. Together, they mimic your scalp's natural lipids and hydration, making this more than a cosmetic conditioner—it's scalp care that also conditions hair.
Is this conditioner tested for safety and efficacy?
Yes. It's allergy-tested, dermatologist-developed, and free from common irritants (sulfates, parabens, MIT, dyes, fragrances). Clinical results show 10X smoother hair and 5X more hydration in one wash—efficacy you can verify with your first use.
Will this conditioner cause buildup on my hair or scalp?
No. The formula is lightweight and designed to rinse clean without residue. The ceramides and hyaluronic acid absorb into hair and scalp rather than coating the surface, so you won't experience buildup even with consistent use.
Can I use this conditioner if I have a sensitive scalp condition like eczema or psoriasis?
Yes, but consult your dermatologist first. The fragrance-free, dye-free, sulfate-free formula is gentler than most and designed for sensitive scalps. However, individual conditions vary—a patch test or professional guidance ensures it's right for your specific needs.
How long does a single bottle last with daily use?
A 9oz bottle typically lasts 2–3 weeks with daily conditioning, while a 19oz bottle lasts 4–6 weeks. Usage varies by hair thickness and length. The 6-pack ensures a 12–18 week supply for consistent routines without frequent reordering.
