What are the consequences of fungi, bacteria and yeast if left untreated?

Microorganisms feed on sebum from the scalp and may excrete substances that irritate the scalp. Permanent irritation does not just create discomfort such as scalp itch, but the scalp will react with increased dandruff. With chronic irritation, it may even become inflamed and become hypersensitive.

The 4-fold active ingredient complex

The Alpecin Dandruff Killer Shampoo contains a 4-fold active ingredient complex specially designed to tackle such problems. Zinc pyrithione and piroctone olamine are effective against fungi, yeast and bacteria. This prevents new dandruff and restores the scalp’s natural balance. Salicylic acid and fumaric acid help remove existing dandruff. This creates a smooth scalp surface, thereby reducing the colonisation of microorganisms in the long term.

In addition, the Alpecin Dandruff Killer Shampoo contains panthenol, allantoin and a sophisticated galenic formula. This combination prevents irritation and stabilises the scalp’s resistance.
