Ketoscalp Bottle Of 100ml Shampoo + Conditioner
Description
Ketoscalp Shampoo is a medicated shampoo specially formulated to treat and prevent dandruff and a flaky scalp. It contains a combination of ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione, both of which are antifungal agents. These ingredients work by targeting the fungus Malassezia, which is often responsible for dandruff. Ketoconazole alters the fungal cell membrane, stopping its growth, while zinc pyrithione helps reduce scalp flaking and irritation.
Regular use of Ketoscalp Shampoo helps reduce dandruff, scalp itchiness, flaking, and irritation, ultimately improving hair and scalp health. It can be safely used on coloured hair and is generally well-tolerated, although some people may experience side effects such as dryness, burning sensation, or a change in hair texture. While it is effective in controlling dandruff, permanent relief also depends on maintaining good scalp hygiene, avoiding harsh hair products, and following a healthy lifestyle. The shampoo should be used as directed by your doctor, usually by applying it to wet hair, gently massaging it into the scalp, leaving it for 5–10 minutes, and rinsing thoroughly.
