Scalp-care formula
Dove Dermacare Scalp Hairfall Recovery Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 300 mL
₱725 Unclear (offer)
Quick verdict
Overall No clear overall winner: it depends on what you need.
Pantene and Dove are level overall (57 vs 56, too small a gap to call a clear winner). Pantene is the cheapest per mL (₱0.60) from the maker's own store, but its listing is short, the shop answers 31% of messages and its FDA notification ends on 4 March 2027. Dove is a scalp-care shampoo that is also anti-dandruff and footnotes its "100%" claims, but its pack size and discount are stated inconsistently and its specification contradicts the product.
Choose Pantene if
You want the lowest price per mL in a large 1.2 L bottle from P&G's official store, and you accept a short listing with no ingredient list or directions.
Choose Dove if
Your shedding comes with flaking and you want a scalp-care formula that is also anti-dandruff, with its main claims footnoted, and you accept conflicting pack-size and discount details on the listing.
The overall pick follows the weighted Wellness Picks score (57 vs 56 out of 100), not the number of criteria won below.
Head-to-head summary
Rows come from each product’s record and from the guide that ranks both. Prices checked 2026-10-12. We did not use or test either product.
Criterion by criterion
Where the evidence is not strong enough to call a winner, we say so.
What you will care about when choosing
Pantene is about ₱0.60 per mL (₱715 for 1,200 mL). Dove is ₱725 in a buy-one-get-the-second-at-40%-off offer and the listing gives 300 and 320 mL, and 40 and 50 percent, so no price per mL can be computed.
Evidence: Shopee prices in our hair fall shampoo guide.
Neither listing gives an ingredient list. Pantene mentions "Pro-Vitamins"; Dove mentions "scalp care actives" and a vitamin B3 complex.
Evidence: Both Shopee listings.
Dove footnotes its "100%" claims (the dandruff one "refers to visible flakes", the hair one is "against breakage"). Pantene calls itself "a hair fall treatment shampoo like no other" without a footnote.
Evidence: Both Shopee listings.
Unilever Beauty Official Store answers 100% of messages; P&G Beauty Official Store answers 31%.
Evidence: Shopee shop pages as read for our guide.
Pantene's notification (NN-1000012508887) is valid to 4 March 2027. Dove's (NN-1000010521046) is valid to 7 September 2028, with a niacinamide version to 29 September 2028.
Evidence: FDA Philippines portal, as checked for our guide.

Evidence and limits
- Pantene: listing checked 2026-10-12; registration NN-1000012508887.
- Dove: listing checked 2026-10-12; registration NN-1000010521046.
- We compare what each listing and the FDA notification list state; we did not use or test either shampoo, and the FDA notifies cosmetics, it does not approve them. No advisory found for either product.
- Not compared for lack of evidence: how either affects hair fall, scent, lather or scalp comfort. Neither listing is evidence that a shampoo changes hair fall; both limit their claims to breakage.
- The Pantene specification gives the formulation as "cream" and no directions. The Dove specification says "fragrance-free", "non-chemical" and lists AHA, BHA and ceramides for a perfumed shampoo, and it gives 300 and 320 mL for the pack size.
- Prices and offers change; check the current price before you buy.
- Prices change; a price change does not change a score unless we re-score the product. This is general information, not medical advice.
