Nizoral Anti Dandruff Shampoo, 60 ml - Pack of 2

Nizoral is effective IF the instructions are followed correctly. It needs time to bind to the hair and work on the scalp; so as suggested in the instructions, the 3 to 5 minutes rest with the shampoo applied before rinsing out are relevant. It only needs a small amount every other day for a fortnight to eliminate the fungal infection and then depending on lifestyle maybe once a week or three thereafter to prevent recurrence. On my normal infrequent usage a bottle lasts me about a year. I never had dandruff for the many decades before my barber retired, and I then needed to change to a new one. Within a week of my first haircut at the new barber I had the dandruff and itchy scalp, and the heavily advertised over-the-counter H&S shampoo I tried made things worse by causing an allergic reaction because it contained a pair of irritant cytotoxins (Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone) intended as preservatives. Fortunately this Nizoral recommended by my doctor is free of MCI and MI, and my sensitive skin has not suffered any allergic reactions when using it. He suggested that as a test for the first application I used as little as possible to create the lather (just one drop necessary for my short hair in our soft water) and that I only let it settle for a minute before carefully rinsing it all out. I was lucky and did not react, and since then have followed the instructions in the leaflet. The contra-indications in the instructions are significant, and as many as one in a hundred of us could suffer some kind of adverse reaction. Remember to shake the bottle well before each application, because if left standing for a long time it can separate into a watery part and a thick part. After the first eight to ten days and only four or five hair-washes with Nizoral, my scalp was no longer itchy. For the last five years I have mostly been free of dandruff, but only because I now always wash with this immediately after a haircut. Another haircut is due soon, hence needing to buy some more...

This is very good if you suffer from dandruff or dry scalps, highly recommend.

I’ve tried countless anti-dandruff shampoos, but few have provided the relief I sought. That’s until I discovered Nizrol Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, which proved to be a game-changer in my hair care routine. From the first use, Nizrol impressed me with its effectiveness. The shampoo contains a powerful active ingredient, ketoconazole, which targets the root cause of dandruff, a fungal infection called Malassezia. It effectively reduces the itchiness and flaking associated with dandruff, providing much-needed relief to my scalp. The shampoo lathers well and has a pleasant, mild scent. It feels gentle on the scalp and doesn’t leave any residue after rinsing, ensuring a clean and fresh feeling. I appreciate that it doesn’t strip my hair of its natural oils, preventing dryness and further scalp irritation. Nizrol Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is also easy to incorporate into my regular hair care routine. I use it twice a week, leaving it on my scalp for a few minutes before rinsing, as recommended. With regular use, I noticed a significant reduction in dandruff flakes and itchiness. My scalp feels healthier, and my hair looks visibly improved as a result. One aspect to note is that Nizrol is a medicated shampoo, so it’s important to follow the instructions and avoid overuse. It’s intended for the treatment of dandruff, rather than as a daily shampoo. However, I found that by using it as directed, it effectively controls my dandruff symptoms without causing any adverse effects. Overall it cleans my scalp like no other shampoo and my hair is so shiny.

My daughter's dandruff was getting worse despite using Vosene and Head & Shoulders standard dandruff shampoos. Nizoral has worked really well with very few flakes left after only two washes. It is very expensive though considering that the bottle is only half full and I would imagine it would be difficult to get more than two or three washes out of it which is why it didn't get five stars.

Best one

I have tried numerous types of anti dandruff shampoos. Some so called leading brands that footballers promote seem to make my situation much worse! I ahve paid for produnts that have been £20 a bottle then I found this in the local supermarket. you only got 60mls but the bottle lasts ages. You use a 5p sized ammount for 3-4 times a week for the first 2 weeks and then you go on to once a week. I use it 1-2 times a month after that and it kept the dandruff away. I stopped using it for a while because I though it had cleared up but dandruff came back with a vengance. I bought these as it came in a 2 pack and worked out cheaper as the supermarket charges nearly £7 a bottle. I used it thursday when I recieved it and the itching stopped. I've used it again today (sunday) and there is only a little dandruff. I know that when I use it a couple more times the problem will be gone just like it did before. Not much of a smell to it and has a soothing feel if you have the itchy scalp. I will always be using this from now on.

Brilliant shampoo for itchy dry scalp

The ketonazole ingrediants just seems to completely disolve all traces of dandruff and leaves the scalp with a smooth not crusty feeling. It's quite grand If I must say so... My heads been driving me absolutely crazy. I've had tinea capitis which due to my reduced immune system caused a mild form of septicemia as well as a mycoplasma infection. Over time, using this product, I'm starting to not only get my sanity back but my scalp feels like it's slowly repairing. I've had loss of hair in patches, scaley skin, itching like absolute crazy... my cat Amber also got infection, as well as my other cat Toto which died due to the infection damaging his internal organs. Anyway, more to the point, it's not only treated me, but my cat amber too removing her itching and red spots that appear, as well as mine. It's also helping to reduce my athletes foot. So much to say, fungal infections are all so complication... all I know is my scalp is no longer rusty which to me is great, worth the money.
