- Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Treatment 2% Shampoo...
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Treatment 2% Shampoo 100ml is a clinically proven medicated antifungal shampoo containing ketoconazole 2% w/w, designed to treat dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It targets the yeast associated with these scalp conditions, helping relieve itching, visible flaking and inflammation.
Unlike ordinary cosmetic shampoos that primarily cleanse the hair and scalp, Nizoral contains an antifungal medicine that addresses an underlying cause of dandruff.
The 100ml bottle provides a larger quantity than the 60ml version, making it a convenient choice for customers who prefer a larger pack for their treatment and maintenance routine.
