Vichy Dercos Anti Dandruff Shampoo for Normal to Oily Hair, 200ml

Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo uses selenium disulfide, one of the long-established anti-dandruff actives, in a formulation aimed at normal to oily hair and scalp. Dandruff and oiliness often travel together, which is why the range splits into separate formulas rather than offering one shampoo for everyone.

How you use an anti-dandruff shampoo matters as much as which one you buy. The active needs contact time with the scalp, so massaging it in and leaving it for a few minutes does far more than lathering and rinsing straight away.

Specs

• Key active: Selenium disulfide
• Volume: 200ml
• For: Normal to oily hair and scalp
• Also contains: Vichy mineralising water
• Brand: Vichy Dercos

Benefits

• Selenium disulfide is one of the established anti-dandruff actives and has been used in scalp care for decades
• The normal to oily formulation cleanses more thoroughly, which suits a scalp that gets greasy quickly
• Contact time is the part most people skip. Leaving it on for a few minutes makes a noticeable difference
• Dandruff tends to return if treatment stops entirely, so most people move to occasional maintenance washes rather than stopping
• Sold through pharmacy rather than general retail, and our pharmacist can help if you are unsure which formula suits you

How to Use

• Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp rather than the lengths
• Leave on for two to five minutes so the active has contact time
• Rinse thoroughly
• Use twice weekly at first, then reduce as things settle
• Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse with water if it occurs
• See a doctor if the scalp is sore, weeping, or not improving after several weeks
