Overview
People dealing with stubborn flakes, scale or an itchy scalp get a maximum strength salicylic acid shampoo that exfoliates the build-up away. Massage it in during the shower or apply it to the scalp before bathing, then follow with a regular shampoo if you like.
Exfoliating acid that lifts thick, crusty scale is what sets it apart from a mild dandruff wash. It is a strong treatment, and the listing gives no guidance on how often to use it.
Who it's for
Scalps with heavy flaking, crusting or itchiness, including from psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis per the listing. People with sensitive or broken skin should check with a doctor first.
Pros and cons
- Strong salicylic acid exfoliation
- Lifts thick scale and flakes
- Use as shampoo or pre-wash
- Sulfate and paraben free
- Use frequency not listed
- Strong acid for sensitive scalps
- Small bottle for long hair
Performance notes
Salicylic acid loosens the bonds between dead skin cells, so flakes and scale lift away during washing. Longer contact, such as applying before the shower, gives the acid more time to work on thick build-up.
