The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. Ready to elevate your self care routine? Meet the Sulphate 4% Cleanser for Body and Hair (240ml), a rich formula that gently removes dirt from hair and skin while still protecting your complexion's all-important moisture barrier.
With a 'gentle-is-essential' formula, the Sulphate 4% Cleanser for Body and Hair (240ml) from The Ordinary is your 2-in-1 ticket to cleansed skin from top to toe.
This multipurpose powerhouse uses a modified sulphate derivative called SLES-2 (at a minimal concentration of just 4%) as a cleansing agent to dissolve the barrier between dirt and oil on your skin, scalp and hair. Working to protect your moisture barrier, this modified sulphate is also ideal for those with dry or sensitive scalps thanks to its nourishing texture and lightweight feel. The only downside? You'll be tempted to stay in the shower even longer...

Disappointed
I was quite excited to buy this shampoo, as I enjoy many of 'The Ordinary' products. I have thick long hair with natural colour, so I like to use different scrubs or deep cleansing shampoos every other wash. Unfortunately, it took a massive amount of product to just cover my scalp, there is little to no foaming and it was quite a poor product to work with, feeling almost dry, which is strange. Once rinsed and left to dry naturally, my hair was very dry and left feeling stripped. I couldn't in good conscious, recommend this product. The only circumstances I can think it would be useful, is if you're hair is very greasy or you have extreme built up. Use it as a second wash, then proceed with a third wash and conditioner with a different brand. Too much bother to be worth it. P

Didn’t like it it
This isn’t my favorite shampoo/body wash. I find myself having to add a lot to feel like it’s doing something.

good deep clean
I like this every couple of weeks to get rid of any product build up and feel like I've given my hair a really thorough clean.

Scalp feels so clean!
I wasn't expecting much from this shampoo but I was impressed with how well it cleans my scalp and refreshes my wave pattern. I only use it once a week otherwise it can be too drying and recommend using a hydrating hair mask after.

Great shampoo, my hair has been a lot better since using this
I’ve been using this for about 8 months now, and growing my hair out from shaving it off. My hair is definitely a lot shinier and healthier than before, and I can go longer between washes. I have used a similar (but more expensive) product before and I would say this is actually just as good, if not better, it doesn’t foam much so bear that in mind. You don’t need to use much either.

Good option for fragrance free bodywash
The shampoo combo body wash, I only used it as body wash. I have used this cleanser a couple times now and I feel that it does a very good job of cleaning. I honestly didn't expect much but this sulphate cleanser is really very good. The cleanser lifted lots of impurities from my skin and the dead skin just washed away.

Great shampoo
I'm on my second bottle and I'm definitely going to buy more. I have fine hair with oily scalp and this shampoo helps to clean my scalp whilst being gentle at the same time. I use it along the Ordinary conditioner. I've used an incredible amount of shampoos and I can honestly say, this one is one of the best and for a great price.

Brilliant
Very sensitive scalp and this shampoo was brilliant. Hair felt clean but not stripped. Very low/no foam though, so if you like bubbles this probably isn't for you.

Gentle
It's a bit runny, but I soon got used to that. Actually I like that now because it's liquidy & easier to get the product on your scalp to clean it, I have thick, dry, wavy hair. I don't have dandruff, but get an itchy scalp. So far it's been the best unfragranced shampoo I've tried for my itches. It doesn't lather that much, I guess that's why it's gentle, I may have to use a little bit more after first amount, but as long as a give a good massage it always does a great job of gently cleaning. I love it and have repurchased. Have tried the conditioner, wasnt so impressed for my dry hair, but I may need to leave it on longer as I only left it on a few minutes.

Not for me
I have suffered with an itchy scalp for years and can only use very few shampoos. I haven’t used sulphates for years, but I was curious after reading about this new shampoo. So I tried it and first 2 washes no itching and hair felt clean, light (made my natural wave drop out quickly it was so soft) and didn’t go greasy quickly which was nice. It doesn’t lather up much and with long hair and a hard water area I had to use more. I also used the conditioner. So was feeling hopeful, then 3rd wash I couldn’t stop itching. I thought try one more time, but the same maybe worse I couldn’t stop itching, after it started to dry. I had to re-wash my hair with my old shampoo to get some relief 😮💨
