Overview
Nizoral is an over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoo built around 1 percent ketoconazole, an antifungal ingredient that treats dandruff at its fungal source rather than only washing away visible flakes, sold in a 14 fl oz fresh-scent bottle.
Nizoral's distinction from most dandruff shampoos on the shelf is the active ingredient itself: ketoconazole is an antifungal rather than the zinc or selenium compounds used in many competing formulas, which is why it is marketed on killing the underlying scalp fungus rather than just controlling symptoms.
- 1 percent ketoconazole active ingredient
- Antifungal treatment and prevention formula
- Fresh scent, 14 fl oz bottle
- Gentle enough for color-treated or gray hair
Who it's for
Suited to men and women dealing with dandruff caused by scalp fungus, including those with color-treated or chemically processed hair since the brand states it is gentle enough for that use. Less relevant for flaking caused by simple dry scalp rather than fungal buildup.
Pros and cons
- Built on ketoconazole 1 percent, an antifungal active
- Marketed as treating the fungal cause of dandruff, not just flakes
- Gentle enough for color-treated or chemically processed hair
- High recent purchase volume suggests wide repeat use
- No review text available in this listing to confirm results
- Not intended for dandruff caused by dry scalp rather than fungus
Performance notes
Ketoconazole works as an antifungal, targeting the scalp fungus the brand cites as the primary cause of dandruff rather than only addressing visible flakes and itching. The brand cites lab testing showing the active ingredient is more effective at killing scalp fungus than the active ingredient in a leading competing dandruff shampoo, framed as a treatment and prevention formula rather than a purely cosmetic one.
