Pharmacist advice for use

During the initial phase, use the shampoo three times per week for two weeks. Apply to wet scalp and hair, massage gently to create a lather and rinse thoroughly.

Apply the shampoo a second time, massage gently into the scalp and leave for two to three minutes. Rinse hair and scalp thoroughly. To maintain results, continue using the shampoo once weekly for the following eight weeks or according to scalp needs.

With oily dandruff, harsh scratching of the scalp or using several strong treatment shampoos at the same time is not helpful. Between treatment wash days, choose a mild shampoo and adapt washing frequency to scalp oiliness and individual needs.

Seek dermatological advice if severe redness, painful scalp changes, crusting, sores, intense itching, flaky redness on the face or chest, patchy hair loss or no improvement despite regular use occurs. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with water.

Education and related care

Oily dandruff differs from dry dandruff. With oily dandruff, flakes are often larger, yellowish, oilier and more firmly attached to the scalp. Excess sebum can contribute to recurrence, while itching and discomfort are common accompanying signs.

For a consistent routine, wash your hair with a suitable shampoo, avoid very hot water and harsh scalp scratching, and apply styling products sparingly, primarily to the hair lengths rather than directly at the roots.
