Late February is right around the time my skin and hair has just about had it with cold, dry winter weather. It feels like every inch of me is flaking off, and no matter how much body butter and oil I slather all over myself, I still feel like a dried husk of myself. And that includes my scalp. Every winter, I deal with—TMI, sorry!—dandruff. It’s embarrassing, and I feel self-conscious, and I’d try just about anything to prevent it.

Which is why when I learned about Jupiter’s scalp-focused haircare line, I immediately ordered several bottles.

Jupiter, Balancing Shampoo
This is my go-to shampoo in the winter. It effectively cleanses the scalp and hair, so if you have naturally greasy strands, this will make your head feel clean without completely stripping it and compounding the problem. It’s hair color and treatment safe, too, so you don’t have to worry about future damage. Formulated with zinc pyrithione (this is what actively fights flaky skin), squalane (boosts shine), and sugar kelp extract (prevents inflammation and bacteria growth), this is a total powerhouse haircare product. Snag the accompanying conditioner for $15, and check out the whole line here.

Truth be told, I’ve always been a Head & Shoulders girly, but once I discovered Jupiter, there was no going back. Jupiter offers a more elevated, personalized approach—you can even take a quiz on their site that evaluates your scalp and hair needs and recommends which system is best for you. Or you can simply just purchase whatever products speak to you, a la carte. It’s also now available at Target (as of yesterday, February 25), which makes me love Jupiter even more (I appreciate the accessibility!).

Plus, Jupiter haircare feels more luxe than standard anti-dandruff shampoo, which can damage color-treated hair, or weigh down fine, thin strands. As someone who has highlights, blow-dries their hair several times a week, and postpartum hair shedding, I was grateful to be able to use Jupiter’s shampoo and conditioner for dandruff and hair damage prevention. Its salon-quality formula is so effective—and as a bonus, it smells fantastic (fresh, with a splash of coconut milk).

Jupiter, Renewing Scalp Moisturizer
A great side kick for your shampoo and conditioner, this scalp moisturizer is like a tall glass of water for your thirsty scalp. It helps revive dry, flaky, irritated skin with its proprietary MoistuRestore™ Technology that’s pH-friendly, too.

“This product is what my scalp has needed for so long! I love this deep moisturizing scalp care not just because I can see a difference after first use but also because I am using a clean product that I know is not adding harsh chemicals and creating more damage to my hair. I’ve tried other scalp treatments and this is one I will go back to again and again!” one shopper says.

That’s *my* take on Jupiter—other shoppers agree, too. “Nothing would stop my dandruff which has been extremely embarrassing. Until now. I started trying Jupiter and it is literally the only shampoo that has worked to end my dandruff. I literally do not have flakes anymore. Been using it daily and am cured,” one Target shopper writes.

Another says, “I’ve tried so many scalp shampoos, and this one finally gets it right! The scent is fresh and clean without being overpowering, and it actually works—my scalp feels balanced, not stripped. Compared to other dandruff shampoos, this is on a whole other level. Plus, for the quality, the price is amazing!”

Another customer notes how gentle the formula is on her keratin treatment and highlights—something I think Jupiter does really well with its products. You really don’t have to worry about the health of your hair while simultaneously giving your scalp some TLC. “I discovered this shampoo a couple years ago when I was looking for something new for my dandruff that wouldn’t strip my keratin treatment and highlights. It’s the best and really the first time I used a dandruff product that I felt was made for women. From the packaging to the ingredients it’s everything I was looking for and couldn’t find,” the shopper writes.
