Frequently Asked Questions

An itchy scalp is often caused by a lack of moisture or a buildup of dead skin cells and irritants, which triggers inflammation and that frustrating itch. Using gentle products can help restore balance and provide welcome scalp relief.

Stop using harsh soaps or SLS cleansers. Instead, switch to a formula with moisturising ingredients like Urea and Colloidal Oatmeal. Remember to use both a rinse-off and a leave-on treatment for the most effective hydration.

The best dandruff shampoo is one that not only contains an active ingredient like Piroctone Olamine but also soothes the underlying scalp irritation. Dermal Therapy Scalp Relief Shampoo & Conditioner is a multi-action solution that tackles flakes without stripping your hair of its natural moisture.

Consistently use a specialist dandruff shampoo every 2 to 3 days. This frequency is usually ideal for managing the buildup of oil and dead skin cells. Keeping the flaking under control depends on this regular, consistent routine.
