4. Rinse thoroughly with water afterwards.
5. Repeat if desired, especially during the first uses.

Want to give your scalp some extra care? The Dualsenses Scalp Specialist ReBalance & Hydrate Fluid is a logical addition. Apply it after washing to restore balance and help prevent dryness or irritation.

Your scalp stops itching and flakes visibly reduce. This is largely thanks to piroctone olamine, an ingredient that targets the fungus causing dandruff. Clinical studies show that shampoos with piroctone olamine can significantly reduce dandruff, even in stubborn cases.

The formula also contains panthenol, known as pro-vitamin B5. Panthenol attracts and retains moisture, preventing your scalp from drying out after washing. Combined with sage and willow bark extracts, it creates a calmer, more comfortable feel on your scalp. The Goldwell Dualsenses Scalp Specialist Anti Dandruff Shampoo thus tackles the dandruff problem while keeping your hair looking healthy.

The Goldwell Dualsenses Scalp Specialist Anti Dandruff Shampoo contains sulphates, meaning it cleans deeply. This is fine for most hair types, but coloured, chemically treated, or very dry hair may lose colour slightly faster than with a sulphate-free shampoo. If you have dandruff and coloured hair, you can use this shampoo but avoid washing your hair more often than necessary. You might want to combine it with a nourishing mask or conditioner for extra colour protection.

If you have a very sensitive scalp without dandruff, the Dualsenses Scalp Specialist Sensitive Foam Shampoo might be a better choice for you.

Yes, it also works on stubborn dandruff. Piroctone olamine is a proven effective ingredient against the fungus that causes dandruff. For severe or persistent issues, such as seborrheic eczema, a medicated shampoo with ketoconazole may sometimes be more effective. If you are unsure about your symptoms, consult a GP or dermatologist.

The shampoo contains perfume and some fragrance components that can trigger a reaction in some people. If you are sensitive to perfume or have a known fragrance allergy, it’s wise to carefully check the ingredient list before using the shampoo. For a fragrance-free alternative, pharmacy brands such as Eucerin or Ducray offer better options.

The main difference is the approach. A drugstore shampoo like Head & Shoulders uses zinc pyrithione as the active ingredient focused solely on dandruff control. The Goldwell Dualsenses Scalp Specialist Anti Dandruff Shampoo combines piroctone olamine with nourishing ingredients like panthenol and plant extracts. The result is hair that not only looks and feels good after use but is also dandruff-free.

Pharmacy brands like Vichy Dercos or La Roche-Posay Kerium are more medicinal and can be better for severe or recurring dandruff. For those with an itchy scalp and mild to moderate dandruff who care about how their hair feels, the Goldwell Dualsenses Scalp Specialist Anti Dandruff Shampoo is the better choice.
