Product Information

Salicylic Acid and Zinc Pyrithione complement each other so well because Salicylic Acid can soften the existing build-up on your scalp and help the Zinc Pyrithione penetrate the scalp more effectively [18]. As a standalone dandruff fighter, piroctone olamine is considered an able for everyday use active being much gentler than traditional ketoconazole or selenium sulfide shampoos. Meaning for mild to moderate seb derm, Piroctone Olamine is a reliable active. Nizoral contains a 2% dose of antifungal ketoconazole mixed into an 11-ingredient fragrance-free formula.

Each product has been specifically formulated to manage the most common symptoms of seborrhoeic dermatitis such as scaling/flaking, reddening, burning and pain in areas with a particularly high concentration of sebaceous glands such as the scalp, eyebrows, forehead, nasolabial folds and trunk, which can all be affected by the condition.

Dr. Brent Thomas Goedjen explains, “Part of the mechanism behind seborrheic dermatitis is thought to be an inflammatory immune reaction (resulting in redness, itching, flaking) to an otherwise resident yeast that becomes overly represented on the skin. Antifungal shampoos such as ketoconazole are useful to regulate the yeast population and therefore reduce in part the trigger for skin inflammation. Ketoconazole is helpful for this purpose and as a generic, is well covered by most insurance plans. Well, this one is different from other but effective like most of the products in this list.

Nizoral is probably the most effective shampoo on the market to control dandruff caused by seb derm. C. F. Carson,1 K. A. Hammer,1 and T. V. Riley1,2,* (2006) Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil: a Review of Antimicrobial and Other Medicinal Properties These recommendations are based on a pivotal systematic review published in 2009, which evaluated the efficacy of ketoconazole and selenium sulfide for seborrheic dermatitis[15]. The study reviewed six high-quality trials, ranging from 20-350 participants, and found that both ingredients were associated with an improvement in scaling, itching, redness, and dandruff]. These ingredients have been blended with more modern ingredients like aloe vera juice and disodium laureth sulfosuccinate to create a gentle but effective cleanser that helps relieve dry scalp problems.

Using the wrong shampoo on the wrong type of dandruff will, at best, have no effect. It may even aggravate the condition! It is thought that the malassezia fungus is responsible for seborrheic dermatitis. Piroctone olamine is an ethanolamine salt of piroctone, with a complex (and not fully understood) anti-fungal mechanism. One proposed mechanism of action is the formation of molecular complexes with iron, which may inhibit fungal cells from effectively utilising energy [4]. It is known to the particularly effective against Malassezia yeasts – and so has a role in the treatment of seb derm. How Effective Is Piroctone Olamine? As I am Dry & Itchy Scalp Care Shampoo is a sulfate-free shampoo that helps to relieve scalp itch, flaking, dryness, redness, and irritation associated with seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. This shampoo can be used daily or as often as needed to remove build-up from styling products like gels/pomades/waxes/sprays etc.

Piroctone olamine was first submitted for approval to the European Union and United States FDA in the 1980s [2]. The ingredient was first approved for addition to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) in 2008, after the FDA sought additional safety and effectiveness data in 2004 [3]. Piroctone olamine, despite the recent upsurge in usage, has historically not been a hugely popular ingredient. So very few independent clinical studies have been performed. Its main advantage is that it’s well tolerated, and so can be used frequently to control mild dandruff, but this hasn’t been properly evaluated. Seb Derm As directed by the inner treatment leaflet, Sebclair Non-Steroidal Cream should be used on affected skin 3 times per day (or as needed) being allowed to absorb with gentle massaging into skin.
