Flakes makes anti-dandruff care formulated for men: a 2% pyrithione zinc shampoo, a moisturizing conditioner, a scalp serum and a scalp brush, made in America with global components.
The saving that matters most is the subscription, which takes 20% off one set or 30% off two sets and adds free shipping plus a scalp brush with the first shipment.
Flakes was started by founder and CEO Jason G., who had struggled for more than ten years with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis before a flare in mid-2020 led to hair loss. After a dermatologist linked the two, he set out to make a cleaner, better-smelling treatment. The formula was developed with Dr. Bobby Buka, the brand's Chief Science Officer, who also founded The Dermatology Specialists practice in New York City.
The shampoo has a cooling peppermint feel, while the conditioner relies on MCT oil to keep hair from feeling dry, and the brand keeps the two in separate bottles rather than a 2-in-1. Flakes states that its products use 100% natural fragrance and contain no parabens, sulfates or phthalates, and that they are vegan and not tested on animals.

Flakes runs on Shopify, so the discount box sits on the checkout page's order summary.
