Finds at Thirdy's Bocaue: Unilever Hair Care Products and Reviews of Clear and Dove Dermacare Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoos

Before the pandemic, my brother discovered Thirdy's, a store in Bocaue which offers imported And local chocolates for cheap. 

These are some of the chocolates and snacks they got in one of their runs.

Perfect for Valentine's Day!

There, they found out that the store also carries bath products and fragrances, also at super low prices. The items are legit, not fake. They work.

Sale items get snapped up pretty quickly. So what you gonna do when faced with shampoos and conditioners at about 50% less mall prices with the possibility that the next time you are there, they wouldn't be? 

You hoard several tubes and bottles.

Some we still haven't used up

For most of last year until now, because of this, me and my sister have been using Unilever hair care products like Dove, Clear and Creamsilk.

I don't really have terrible, large, flaky, crusty dandruff but I occasionally get tiny flakes and my scalp sometimes would become dry and itchy. Thus the dandruff shampoos. 

Clear Anti-Dandruff Shampoo in Ice Cool Menthol and Clear Men Anti-Dandruff Shampoo in Cool Sport Menthol are both able to rid me of those annoying tiny, oily, dandruff that tend to fly this way and that close to my scalp by drying them out. The former just has a minty floral but masculinish scent while latter has a minty orange one.

But the primary reason I got these particular Clear Anti-dandruff Shampoos is the minty feeling they impart. Scalp feels really refreshed and considering we live in the tropics where 30 degrees is not a summer but a normal daily temperature, having a cooling product is a need for me. And to think I get cold easily.

The thing with Dove Dermacare Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo in Soothing Moisture is, I noticed that after using it for weeks,  my below shoulders rebonded hair started to lose its straightness.  But my hair feels much more softer when I use this than it does when I use Clear. Clear is better in addressing dandruff though. It has a vanilla fragrance. 

All these three products I have are made in the Philippines.

Before heading over, it's best to check Thirdy's Facebook page to see what's on sale. I think they also deliver.
