Dandruff is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp, which can be caused by factors like dry skin, oily buildup, or skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Effective treatments include shampoos with ingredients like salicylic acid, coal tar, and zinc pyrithione, and it's recommended to rotate products to prevent ineffectiveness. A suggested weekly regimen includes alternating between different medicated shampoos to achieve optimal results.

our heads.

others, it can be the manifestation of a more serious, chronic skin
condition.

3. The Science Behind Dandruff
 Dandruff is caused by sebum being
broken down by lipases into a
compound called oleic acid
 This triggers the scalp to be
overpopulated with skin cells and
sheds as soon as possible.
 Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis
are conditions of the scalp that are
present with dead skin cells and often
scaly or itchy skin.

6. What To Look For In Shampoo
Ingredients
 The most effective over-the-counter treatment options for dandruff and
seborrheic dermatitis are shampoos that include the following ingredients:
 salicylic acid
 coal tar
 selenium sulfide
 zinc pyrithione
 Salicylic acid (1.8%) removes dead skin cells and reduces scaling by increasing
the hydration of skin.
 Coal tar (2.0%) is effective for both dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis; it
reduces scaling, itching, inflammation and soothes irritation.
 Zinc pyrithione (1.0%) also effective for both conditions, helps reduce and
eliminate scalp itching, flaking and scaling.

7. Rotating Formulas is More Effective
 People react differently to different ingredients, which is why we
recommend that you switch up your dandruff shampoos throughout the
week.
 Treatment may become ineffective after repeated use of one specific
ingredient.
 Denorex is a medicated & therapeutic brand that dermatologists
recommend. It has the highest levels of medicine of any major over-the-
counter brand. By switching up Denorex Therapeutic (coal tar), Denorex
Extra Strength (salicylic acid) and Zincon (pyrithione zinc), you will have
faster dandruff relief.
