What's a good shampoo for dandruff and an itchy scalp?
Our pick is Dandruff & Scalp Care Shampoo Plus. It washes away visible flakes gently, leaves the scalp feeling comfortable and is formulated to respect both the scalp's balance and its microbiome. For results that last longer, use Dandruff Balance Plus on the scalp between washes.
How can I tell whether I've got dry or oily dandruff?
Dry dandruff tends to show up as small, white, powdery flakes that brush off easily, and the scalp often feels tight or itchy. With oily dandruff the flakes are larger and yellowish, they cling to the scalp and roots, and the hair is usually greasy. The same shampoo and leave-in treatment suit both, with the mask added for oily dandruff. Still unsure? Our Hair Clinic will take a look at your scalp free of charge.
Is it fine to use them every day?
Yes. You can use the shampoo and the leave-in treatment every day or on alternate days, while Dermo Capillary Mask Activated Plus is a once- or twice-weekly step. Sticking with them regularly is the key to a balanced scalp.
How soon should I see fewer flakes?
In the first two or three weeks, most people find their flakes are less visible and their scalp feels calmer. After about 4–8 weeks of regular use, the balance usually becomes more lasting. Once the flakes have gone, it's worth carrying on with the products to keep things that way.
Is this range suitable if I have a scalp skin condition?
Skin conditions of the scalp need to be assessed and managed by a dermatologist. Our products are dermocosmetic care for flaky, itchy scalps rather than medicines, and many customers combine them with the advice their specialist gives. If you notice redness, thick scales or an itch that won't go away, speak to a doctor first.
