Overview
An itchy, flaking scalp under curly or coily hair is the situation Vichy made Dercos Salicylic for. Salicylic acid targets dandruff, while glycerin and niacinamide keep curls soft, and the gel turns to foam when water is added.
Treating dandruff without drying out curls is the reason to choose it, since most anti-dandruff washes are harsh on texture. The limit is focus: the listing is written for curly and coily hair and says little about straight hair.
Who it's for
Curly and coily hair with recurring flakes or itch suits it, including sensitive scalps. People with no scalp issues do not need a medicated-style wash.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Salicylic acid loosens and lifts flakes from the scalp, which is why reaching the scalp matters, and the water-to-foam texture spreads there before lathering. Glycerin offsets the drying effect so curls stay defined.
