Redken Scalp Relief Dandruff Control Shampoo is a dermatologist-tested, pyrithione zinc shampoo that gently cleanses and helps control dandruff while soothing dry, flaky scalps.

This professional-grade scalp shampoo from Redken is formulated to target visible flaking and scalp irritation without stripping hair. It combines a lightweight texture with a clarifying action to remove flakes and debris while leaving hair soft, shiny, and manageable. The formula is color-safe and designed for regular use to maintain a clearer, more comfortable scalp between treatments.

How does this shampoo reduce visible flakes and itching?

The shampoo uses pyrithione zinc, an ingredient commonly used to address flaking and scalp discomfort. It works by helping to control the scalp environment so flakes and associated symptoms are reduced over time. Regular use supports a cleaner scalp surface and less visible residue in hair.

• Contains pyrithione zinc to help control flaking
• Gently cleanses to remove dead skin and product buildup
• Soothes scalp to reduce sensations of itchiness
• Dermatologist-tested for safety on skin and hair

Will this shampoo damage or strip color-treated hair?

Redken Scalp Relief is formulated to be color-safe, so it can be used on color-treated hair without accelerating fade when used as directed. Its lightweight texture cleanses without harsh surfactants that typically strip pigment, preserving tone and shine. For best results, follow with a compatible conditioner to restore moisture.

• Color-safe formulation suitable for treated hair
• Light texture that cleanses without heavy stripping
• Leaves hair shiny and airy rather than weighed down
• Pairs well with Redken conditioners for added moisture

How often should I use the shampoo for visible improvement?

Frequency depends on your scalp condition, but many users see improvement when used 2–3 times per week. For persistent or severe dandruff symptoms, follow a consistent routine for several weeks to assess results. Use less frequently once symptoms are under control to maintain a healthy scalp balance.

• Typical starting routine: 2–3 times weekly
• Adjust usage based on scalp response and comfort
• Maintain with occasional washes after improvement
• Combine with gentle styling and minimal heavy products

What sensory experience can I expect during and after washing?

The shampoo lathers into a light foam that rinses clean, leaving hair feeling soft and manageable. Scalp relief arrives as a soothing, clarified sensation rather than a cooling or medicinal sting. Finished hair has a natural sheen and a lightweight finish that keeps styles flexible.

• Light lather that rinses without residue
• Soothing feel on the scalp during cleansing
• Soft, shiny hair with an airy finish after rinse
• No heavy fragrance or greasy after-feel
