How Lucoz ZS Anti Dandruff Shampoo Works

Lucoz ZS Anti Dandruff Shampoo is a combination of three drugs: Luliconazole, Zinc pyrithione, and Salicylic acid. • Luliconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival and kills fungi that cause dandruff. • Zinc pyrithione stops fungal growth by making fungal cells absorb copper, which inactivates protein mechanisms in cells. • Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that works by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells, and softens skin. Thus, Lucoz ZS Anti Dandruff Shampoo helps to treat dandruff and provide relief from flaky and itchy scalp.
