Dandruff Shampoo - Age Group: Adults And Teens

Benefits of Dandruff Shampoo

Dandruff shampoos are designed to reduce flakes, itching, and scalp buildup. Depending on the active ingredient, they can:

Reduce dandruff flakes and scalp scaling
Control excess oil and scalp buildup
Relieve scalp itching and irritation
Control yeast/fungal overgrowth associated with many cases of dandruff
Keep the scalp cleaner for longer
Reduce visible white flakes on hair and clothing
Help prevent dandruff from returning when used regularly as directed

Common active ingredients include ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid, and coal tar. Different ingredients work in different ways.

Tip: Apply the shampoo mainly to the scalp, leave it on for the recommended time, and rinse thoroughly. Using it too frequently can sometimes cause dryness or irritation.
