What Is Dandruff Shampoo?

Dandruff shampoo is a medicated or active-ingredient formula developed to break down scalp flakes, reduce inflammation and restore the natural scalp barrier. Many products contain antifungals (like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione), keratolytics (such as salicylic acid), and soothing botanical extracts. These treatments can be especially helpful for dandruff caused by seborrhoeic dermatitis, dry scalp, or persistent scalp irritation.

Benefits & Features of Dandruff Shampoo

Reduces flakes and buildup: Active ingredients target dead skin accumulation and fungal triggers.
Relieves itching and redness: Many formulas include anti-inflammatory compounds to calm irritated skin.
Regulates sebum production: Helps rebalance oily scalps often linked to seborrhoeic dandruff.
Restores scalp barrier: Hydrating agents repair dryness and support healthy microbiome function.
Improves overall hair appearance: Reducing flakes promotes cleaner, healthier-looking roots.

Why Dandruff Treatment Is Important

Untreated dandruff can lead to chronic itching, inflammation, increased flaking and secondary scalp infections due to scratching. Consistent use of specialist shampoos prevents buildup, restores comfort and improves long-term scalp stability. For conditions with overlap—such as scalp eczema or psoriasis—users may also find benefit in related categories like Eczema Treatments or Psoriasis Care.

How to Use Dandruff Shampoo

Apply to wet hair and massage thoroughly onto the scalp.
Leave on for 2–5 minutes to allow active ingredients to work effectively.
Use 2–3 times per week, or as indicated by product instructions.
Alternate with a gentle cleansing shampoo between treatments.

Types of Dandruff Shampoos Available

Ketoconazole shampoos: Strong antifungal options for moderate-to-severe dandruff.
Zinc pyrithione shampoos: Ideal for frequent use.
Salicylic acid shampoos: Help exfoliate stubborn flakes.
Coal tar shampoos: Slow skin-cell turnover in chronic dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis.
