Medicine Description vichy-dercos-anti-dandruff-shampoo 200ml
Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a medication designed to treat dandruff and its associated symptoms. Its key active ingredients, Sensirin, panthenol, and vitamin C, work synergistically to combat the underlying causes of dandruff. Sensirin specifically targets irritation and reduces the proliferation of Malassezia yeast, which is often responsible for dandruff. Panthenol, a derivative of vitamin B5, hydrates and conditions the scalp, improving skin barrier function and promoting overall scalp health. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect scalp skin from oxidative stress. Together, these components effectively soothe the scalp, reduce flakes, and promote a healthier environment for hair growth.
