- Piroctone Olamine: The ethanolamine salt of a 2-pyridone derivative has fungicidal and antibacterial effects and is particularly effective against the yeast fungus Malassezia furfur.
- Fumaric Acid: Fumaric acid is an active ingredient found in nature, for example, in plants like fumitory. It helps to normalize the shedding of skin flakes.
- Panthenol: Pro-vitamin B5 or dexpanthenol increases skin moisture and thereby strengthens the skin barrier. It reduces itching and feelings of dryness.
- Allantoin: Allantoin has multiple effects on the skin and scalp. In addition to its skin-soothing properties, it has a keratolytic effect, meaning it can remove the outermost skin flakes. Allantoin also increases skin moisture.
For the daily dose against dandruff:
- Distribute the shampoo evenly in wet hair and massage it in.
- Then rinse thoroughly.
- Suitable for daily use.
Tip
To prevent hereditary hair loss, we recommend using Alpecin Caffeine Liquid after every hair wash.
