Key Benefits

  • Targets Root Cause of Fungal Infection: The formulation utilises 2% ketoconazole, a potent broad-spectrum antifungal agent that directly attacks and eliminates Malassezia furfur, the primary yeast responsible for dandruff and scalp inflammation.
  • Provides Immediate Flaky Scalp Treatment: Enhanced with Zinc Pyrithione (ZPTO), this formula actively reduces the hyperproliferation of skin cells, helping to clear away visible white flakes and preventing them from shedding onto your shoulders.
  • Fast-Acting Itchy Scalp Solution: By regulating scalp microflora and lowering fungal loads, this shampoo rapidly reduces localised inflammation, offering instant dandruff relief and calming persistent, uncomfortable itching after the first few washes.
  • Helps Prevent Dandruff Recurrence: Unlike cosmetic shampoos that only wash away surface flakes, this targeted formula deposits active ingredients into the scalp, creating an environment that inhibits future fungal growth and ensures long-term scalp care.
  • Manages Severe Seborrhoeic Dermatitis Effectively: Clinically trusted to manage the redness, scaling, and severe irritation associated with seborrhoeic dermatitis, making it an essential part of a medically guided scalp care routine.
  • Conditions to Reduce Hair Fall Due to Dandruff: Severe dandruff clogs follicles and weakens hair roots, leading to shedding. This shampoo contains an advanced conditioning base that not only prevents hair from drying out but helps reduce hair fall due to dandruff by restoring a healthy scalp barrier.

FAQs

To get the most out of your Scalpe Plus Anti Dandruff Shampoo 150 ml, wet your scalp completely, apply the shampoo, and massage it into a rich lather. It is absolutely essential to leave the lather on your scalp for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing. This waiting period allows the ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione to actively fight the underlying fungal infection and provide effective flaky-scalp treatment.

No, it is not recommended to use this medicated shampoo daily. Because it contains potent clinical actives (2% Ketoconazole and 1% ZPTO), daily use may lead to unnecessary scalp dryness. The ideal dosage is 2 to 3 times a week for the first four weeks to treat active dandruff. Afterward, you can reduce usage to once a week to prevent dandruff recurrence.

Unlike many older-generation medicated anti-dandruff treatments that strip the hair of its natural oils, this specific Scalpe hair shampoo is formulated with an advanced, built-in conditioning base. While it aggressively targets the root cause of dandruff and clears the scalp, the conditioning agents ensure your hair strands remain soft, manageable, and hydrated after the wash.

Yes, it can significantly help. Severe dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis clog hair follicles and cause intense itching. The constant scratching and scalp inflammation physically damage hair roots, leading to excessive hair shedding. By providing a fast, itchy scalp solution and clearing the fungal infection, this shampoo restores scalp health, thereby effectively reducing hair fall caused directly by dandruff.

Regular cosmetic anti-dandruff shampoos primarily focus on washing away visible, superficial flakes for temporary relief. In contrast, Scalpe Plus is an expert-recommended, medicated formula containing 2% Ketoconazole and 1% ZPTO. It goes beyond the surface to eradicate Malassezia (the fungus causing dandruff), offering a true clinical cure for seborrhoeic dermatitis rather than just a cosmetic cover-up.

Most users begin to experience a noticeable itchy scalp solution and a reduction in visible flakes after just 2 to 3 washes. However, for complete eradication of the fungal infection and stabilisation of the scalp's microbiome, you should complete the full 4-week regimen as directed (using the shampoo 2-3 times per week).

While the shampoo includes a conditioning base, medicated products containing ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione can sometimes cause premature fading of artificial hair colours or affect chemical treatments. If you have recently coloured, bleached, or chemically straightened your hair, it is highly advisable to consult your dermatologist or hair care professional before starting treatment.

Yes, absolutely. Even though the Scalpe Plus formula contains a built-in conditioning base,individuals with naturally dry, curly, or frizzy hair might require extra moisture. You can safely apply your regular, cosmetically preferred conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair after rinsing out the shampoo. Just ensure you do not apply the conditioner directly to the scalp.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition, meaning it naturally has periods of flare-ups and remission. While there is no absolute "permanent cure", Scalpe Plus is one of the most effective management tools available. Regular maintenance use (e.g., once a week after the initial 4-week active treatment phase) is highly effective at keeping flare-ups, scaling, and itching permanently at bay.

Scalpe Plus is dermatologically tested and generally well-tolerated. However, a small percentage of users with highly sensitive skin might experience mild, temporary side effects such as slight scalp dryness, localised burning, or a mild change in hair texture. If you experience severe redness, intense burning, or signs of an allergic reaction (like swelling), discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.
