PHYTO Dandruff Shampoo for Scalp Treatment — 8.45 fl oz, Sulfate-Free, Anti-Flake & Anti‑Itch

PHYTO Scalp Solutions Dandruff Shampoo is a dermo-treating, sulfate-free shampoo that reduces visible flakes and itching while rebalancing and protecting the scalp from the first use.

This targeted scalp treatment combines exfoliating acids with botanical extracts to address persistent dandruff and scalp irritation without harsh sulfates or silicones. Lactic acid (an AHA) and salicylic acid (a BHA) work together to loosen and remove dead skin cells, while celery extract helps limit recurrence over time. A rosemary-derived extract adds a protective layer against environmental aggressors, and the color-safe formulation keeps dyed and chemically treated hair looking fresh. Dermatologically tested on volunteers with moderate to persistent conditions, the shampoo is developed by PHYTO using decades of botanical research.

How quickly will I see fewer flakes and less itching?

Many users report a noticeable reduction in visible flakes and relief from itching from the first wash, with continued improvement when used regularly. The combination of lactic and salicylic acids exfoliates build-up immediately while botanical ingredients target longer-term recurrence.

• Starts working from the first application to loosen dead skin.
• Regular use (2–3 times weekly) sustains scalp balance and reduces rebounding.
• Calms itching sensations while cleansing without stripping color.

What key ingredients make this shampoo effective for dandruff-prone scalps?

The formula uses a dual-acid approach plus plant extracts to both treat and help prevent dandruff. Lactic acid (AHA) hydrates and aids cell renewal, while salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates to exfoliate and clear flakes; celery extract supports anti-recurrence; rosemary extract defends the scalp from external stressors.

• Lactic acid: gentle exfoliation and moisture balance.
• Salicylic acid: penetrative removal of dead skin that causes visible flakes.
• Celery extract: helps reduce the frequency of flare-ups.
• Rosemary extraction: antioxidant protection against environmental aggressions.

Is this safe for color-treated or chemically processed hair?

Yes — the shampoo is formulated without sulfates and silicones, making it suitable for dyed, permed, or otherwise treated hair. Its gentle cleansing base maintains color vibrancy while addressing the scalp, so you can treat flaking without compromising hair treatments.

• Sulfate-free surfactant system to reduce color fade.
• Silicone-free for a lighter, non-greasy finish.
• Designed for use several times per week as part of a regular scalp routine.

How should I include this shampoo in my hair-care routine?

Use on wet hair, massaging into the scalp for one to two minutes to activate the exfoliating acids, then rinse. For best results, apply two to three times a week or as recommended by your dermatologist; alternate with your regular mild shampoo if needed.

• Apply to wet hair; massage scalp 1–2 minutes; rinse thoroughly.
• Use 2–3 times weekly as a treatment or weekly to control recurrence.
• Pair with a gentle conditioner on lengths to maintain softness and manageability.
