Review: Effective Anti-Dandruff Care - I’ve been using this Vichy Dercos Selenium Sulfide Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and it has honestly made a huge difference in my scalp health. It controls my dandruff incredibly well — better than many other products I’ve tried — and the results were noticeable within just a few washes. My scalp feels soothed, clean, and refreshed every time I use it, and the itching I used to deal with has almost completely disappeared. What I appreciate the most is that it targets both the visible flakes and the recurrence of dandruff, so it doesn’t just mask the problem — it actually helps prevent it from coming back. The formula feels gentle on the scalp yet very effective, and it also strengthens my hair without drying it out. I also love that it’s safe for sensitive scalps and color-treated hair, which gives me confidence using it regularly. Overall, this shampoo has become an essential part of my routine, and I truly recommend it to anyone struggling with dandruff or itchy scalp.
Review: The ONLY Thing In 2 Years Of This Nightmare Thats Worked!! - I gotta hype this stuff up because I’m honestly over the moon about it curing my scalp issues. For the last year or two, I’ve been battling for the first time EVER what I thought was dandruff extreme buildup, flakes all over my scalp, and even patches on my ears. I was washing my hair so much because from the minute I’d get out of the shower the MINUTE I’d still have flakes on my scalp!! Like chunks of flakes not little ones It was a total nightmare, and I felt so insecure. I tried everything to figure out what was going on dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, dry scalp, product buildup, allergic reactions etc. The tiny oily scaly patches that would come up on my ears made me think it was SD caused by Malassezia yeast I went through so many products and tricks, but nothing fully worked ▪ Nizoral which targets Malassezia with its antifungal ingredient, ketoconazole, but ketoconazole and selenium sulfide (the ingredient in the shampoo that worked) havedifferent mechanisms. Selenium sulfide has a stronger effect on reducing skin cell turnover. ▪Head & Shoulders which uses zinc pyrithione, which is antifungal and antibacterial but less potent against severe Malassezia overgrowth compared to selenium sulfide. It’s great for mild dandruff but might not have been strong enough. ▪T-Gel which uses coal tar to slow skin cell growth and reduce inflammation, but it’s not as effective against fungal causes like Malassezia. ▪ Salicylic acid which exfoliates the scalp to remove flakes and buildup, but it doesn’t target yeast or fungal overgrowth. ▪ Natural Remedies like tea tree oil or apple cider vinegar which can have mild antifungal properties, but they’re often not strong enough for stubborn cases of dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis. ▪ Washing less, washing more, changing my diet, limiting products to just shampoo and conditioner or even just water—I tried it all! The flakes just kept coming back, and I was ready to book a dermatologist appointment because I couldn’t take it anymore. Then I saw a random comment on TikTok raving about this shampoo so I figured, why not? I got the shampoo and conditioner, and OH MY GOD, it’s been a game-changer! I started using it every time I washed my hair (about every second or third day), and by the third wash, I had ZERO flakes no buildup, no flakes on my scalp, and the patches on my ears were gone and still are 2 months later! I’ve kept using it every time I shampoo, and it doesn’t dry out my scalp at all it’s been absolutely incredible. My husband used to think I had dry scalp because of other dandruff shampoos, but this one (with the conditioner) keeps my scalp happy and flake-free. I don’t know for sure what i had, if I had stubborn dandruff, a yeast overgrowth, or what, but this is the only thing in two years that has actually cleared up my scalp completely. Most dandruff shampoos say not to use them every day, but I used this one every wash, and maybe that’s what made the difference or maybe it’s just the magic of selenium sulfide! Either way, I’m so grateful I found this before I lost my mind. 😄 If you’re struggling with flakes, buildup, or an itchy scalp, PLEASE try this!!! It’s been a game changer!!

"After suffering from dandruff for two years, I tried many products without success. Until I discovered Vichy Dercos Selenium Sulfide shampoo. From the first use, I felt a big difference! My scalp was calmer, and the itching was significantly reduced. With continued use, the dandruff disappeared almost completely. This product not only treats dandruff, but also makes the hair softer and stronger. If you are suffering from the same problem, I recommend you try this shampoo, it's really worth it!"
