Formulated for anyone dealing with dandruff, flaking or an itchy scalp, including those with colored or chemically treated hair who still need color protection alongside dandruff control. It's suited to fine, medium and coarse hair types and is intended for regular, ongoing use rather than a one-time treatment.

Many anti-dandruff shampoos trade scalp treatment for color protection, but this one is built to do both: Piroctone Olamine addresses the itching and flaking directly, while the black caviar and antioxidant extracts are included specifically to protect shine and color on treated hair. That combination matters for anyone who colors their hair but still needs a real dandruff-control shampoo, not just a gentle cleanser.

• Saturate hair completely with warm, not hot, water.
• Dispense a small amount of shampoo into your palm and apply to the scalp, massaging until it lathers.
• Work the lather through the hair, focusing attention on the scalp.
• Rinse hair and scalp completely.

Pros:

• Piroctone Olamine is a well-established anti-dandruff active that helps reduce itching and regulate sebum without the harsher drying effect of some older dandruff actives
• Salt-free formula avoids the extra scalp irritation salt-based shampoos can cause on already sensitive, flaking skin
• Black caviar and antioxidant extracts help protect color and shine while treating dandruff

Cons:

• Contains sulfate-type cleansers (sodium coceth sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate), so it's not a fit for anyone specifically avoiding sulfates
• Persistent or severe dandruff may need a dermatologist-recommended treatment shampoo rather than a cosmetic anti-dandruff formula
