DERMAdoctor Tranquility Cleanser 2% Pyrithione Zinc — 7.1 fl oz, Soap-Free Fragrance-Free Medicated Wash for Face, Scalp & Body

DERMAdoctor Tranquility Cleanser is a soap-free, fragrance-free medicated wash that delivers the maximum over-the-counter 2% pyrithione zinc concentration to gently cleanse areas prone to dandruff and seborrheic irritation on face, scalp, and body.

This milky cleanser combines a high-strength antifungal/antimicrobial active ingredient with a gentle, non-stripping base so you can treat multiple affected areas with a single product. It’s formulated for daily facial use yet is also suitable for the scalp, hairline, chest, beard, and other locations where seborrheic inflammation, flaking, or redness can appear. Free of fragrance and dyes, the formula is intended to be mild enough for regular use while delivering the 2% pyrithione zinc concentration that regulatory limits allow without a prescription.

How does this cleanser fit into my daily routine?

Use the cleanser as part of your regular washing routine for any areas that show flaking, redness, or itchiness. Apply to wet skin or scalp, lather gently, leave on briefly as tolerated, then rinse; frequency can be adjusted depending on symptom control and sensitivity.

• Apply to wet skin or scalp and work into a lather for 30–60 seconds.
• Rinse thoroughly; use at least twice weekly or as advised by your clinician.
• Suitable for face, hairline, beard, ears, chest, and other affected areas.
• Can be incorporated into morning or evening cleansing steps.

What makes 2% pyrithione zinc different from lower strengths?

The 2% concentration is the highest pyrithione zinc level permitted without a prescription in the U.S., and provides a stronger active dose than many over-the-counter dandruff washes. This product pairs that active ingredient with a soap-free, gentle base to reduce the chance of over-drying while targeting the microbial factors commonly involved in seborrheic symptoms.

• Contains 2% pyrithione zinc — maximum OTC concentration allowed by regulators.
• Formulated to deliver the active ingredient without harsh soap surfactants.
• Intended for areas beyond the scalp, unlike many zinc shampoos.
• Designed to be gentle enough for daily facial cleansing when needed.

Is this cleanser safe to use during pregnancy or for young children?

The formula is fragrance- and dye-free and has been reviewed for use during pregnancy and lactation; it is labeled suitable for ages two and up. However, as with all medicated products, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice if you are pregnant, nursing, or considering use on children under two.

• Fragrance-free and dye-free to minimize irritation risk.
• Recommended for ages 2 and older; consult a physician for younger children.
• Reviewed for pregnancy and lactation considerations—but seek medical advice when unsure.
• Patch test on sensitive skin if you have a history of reactions to topical medicated products.

How soon should I expect to notice a difference?

Clinical evaluation of pyrithione zinc formulations typically suggests visible improvement in weeks rather than days; manufacturers recommend consistent use for a period before assessing effectiveness. Individual responses vary with severity, frequency of use, and concurrent skin care measures.

• Use at least twice weekly and allow 2–4 weeks to evaluate change.
• Consistency and coverage of affected areas support better assessment of results.
• Follow-up with a dermatologist if symptoms persist or worsen.
• Combine with non-irritating moisturizers and sun protection as needed.

Who is this for: DERMAdoctor Tranquility Cleanser is intended for people seeking a single, medicated wash to address flaking, redness, or itchiness across face, scalp, and body without fragrance or harsh soap. It is suited to those who want the highest non-prescription pyrithione zinc concentration in a gentle, milk-like cleanser, people managing seborrheic symptoms in multiple areas, and anyone preferring a fragrance-free, dye-free option that can be used as part of a normal cleansing routine. If you have severe or treatment-resistant conditions, are under age two, pregnant, or nursing and uncertain, consult your healthcare provider before starting any medicated regimen.
