Abbott Selsun Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 240ml — 1% Selenium Sulphide, Daily Conditioning Care

Selsun Daily by Abbott is a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo (1% selenium sulphide) with built-in conditioner designed to control flakes, itching and excess scalp oil when used regularly.

Everyday dandruff often returns unless you follow a consistent care routine; Abbott Selsun Daily is formulated to address common scalp triggers while keeping hair conditioned. The product pairs a proven active ingredient with a gentle, pH-balanced base that is sulfate- and paraben-free, making it suitable for both men and women who want routine dandruff control without stripping moisture.

How does Selsun Daily work to reduce flakes and itching?

Selsun Daily uses selenium sulphide 1% to reduce the activity of the scalp organisms and slow the process that leads to flaking. Alongside the active ingredient, the formula helps manage excess oil and clears dead skin buildup that appears as visible flakes.

• Contains 1% selenium sulphide to target dandruff-causing fungi and scaling.
• Helps control oil production that contributes to flake formation.
• Conditions hair to minimise post-wash dryness and irritation.

When and how should I use this shampoo for best results?

For routine control, use Selsun Daily regularly as part of your wash schedule. Apply to wet scalp, massage to create lather, leave for 3–4 minutes to allow the active ingredient to act, then rinse thoroughly.

• Wet hair and scalp, apply, and lather gently.
• Keep shampoo on the scalp for 3–4 minutes before rinsing.
• Use consistently—daily or as directed—for ongoing control; consider stronger treatments for severe cases.

Is the formula gentle enough for frequent use and sensitive scalps?

The shampoo is pH-balanced and formulated without sulfates or parabens to reduce the risk of extra dryness and irritation. It includes a conditioning component to help maintain hair softness after cleansing, but if you have extreme sensitivity, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.

• Sulfate-free and paraben-free to minimise harshness.
• pH-balanced to help preserve scalp comfort and barrier function.
• Built-in conditioner reduces post-wash tightness and dryness.

How does this product compare to stronger selenium sulphide treatments?

Selsun Daily contains 1% selenium sulphide for regular dandruff management; more severe cases may benefit from products with higher concentrations. If symptoms are persistent or intense, a clinician may recommend an alternative formulation with a stronger active percentage.

• 1% selenium sulphide for maintenance and moderate dandruff control.
• For severe dandruff, higher-strength selenium sulphide suspensions exist (consult a professional).
• Safe for unisex adult use when directions are followed; read labels and warnings before use.

Who is this for: Abbott Selsun Daily is intended for adults seeking a reliable, medicated anti-dandruff shampoo they can use regularly. It suits men and women with mild to moderate flaking, scalp itch, or oiliness who prefer a treatment that also conditions hair and avoids sulfates or parabens.
