FAQs
How often should I use the Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo?
Initially, use it every wash for 3 weeks. After this period, use it once a week, alternating with a gentle dermatological shampoo to maintain results.
Is this shampoo suitable for sensitive scalps?
It is formulated for dry and dandruff-prone scalps and is dermatologist-recommended. However, if you experience persistent irritation, it's best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
How long does the anti-dandruff protection last?
Clinical studies show it can protect against dandruff recurrence for up to 6 weeks after consistent use.
Can I use this shampoo if I have oily hair but a dry, flaky scalp?
This specific formulation is designed for dry to normal hair and dry scalps. For oily scalps, Vichy offers other Dercos Anti-Dandruff shampoos tailored to that hair type.
What are the main active ingredients in this shampoo?
The main active ingredients are 1% Salicylic Acid and 1% Selenium Disulfide, which work together to target dandruff and exfoliate the scalp.
How do I use the eco-friendly refill pouch?
Simply open the pouch and carefully pour its contents into your clean, empty Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo bottle. This helps reduce plastic waste.
Will this shampoo dry out my hair or scalp?
No, it is specifically formulated to soothe and nourish dry scalps, helping to minimize dryness while effectively treating dandruff. It leaves hair feeling soft and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Visible flakes persist after initial washes.
Ensure you are following the recommended usage routine: use every wash for the first 3 weeks. Verify that the shampoo is massaged gently into the scalp and left for the full 2 minutes before rinsing. Consistent use is key to efficacy.
Scalp feels irritated or becomes dry despite product claims.
Although formulated to soothe dry scalps, individual sensitivities vary. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Ensure you alternate with a gentle dermatological shampoo after the initial 3-week treatment phase.
Shampoo is not lathering sufficiently.
Make sure your hair is thoroughly wet before applying the shampoo. A small amount of water added to the scalp after initial application and massage can help activate the lather. The rich, creamy texture should foam well with proper hydration.
Dandruff seems to return quickly after stopping treatment.
The product offers protection for up to 6 weeks; however, for continuous management, it's crucial to maintain the once-a-week alternating routine after the initial intensive treatment. Skipping this maintenance phase might lead to recurrence.
