learn Salicylic acid

Can I use salicylic acid shampoo if I have dandruff or an oily scalp? US over-the-counter rules allow salicylic acid shampoos (1.8–3%) for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. They can dry or irritate the scalp, and people allergic to aspirin should not use them.

learn Pyrithione Zinc

Can pyrithione zinc be combined with other active ingredients like ketoconazole or minoxidil? In one 26-week trial, adding zinc pyrithione shampoo to minoxidil gave no extra hair growth (Berger et al., Br J Dermatol 2003). Ask a pharmacist before combining medicated shampoos with a hair-loss medicine.
What’s the difference between pyrithione zinc and salicylic acid when treating scalp buildup? Pyrithione zinc is an antifungal that slows the yeast linked to dandruff, while salicylic acid loosens and sheds scale; both are permitted US over-the-counter dandruff ingredients. Zinc pyrithione has been banned in EU cosmetics since 2022 because it is classified as toxic for reproduction.

learn Selenium

Is Selenium more effective when taken orally or applied topically in shampoos or serums? The two are not interchangeable and the evidence points the other way from the common assumption: topical selenium disulfide shampoo has clinical trial support for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, while oral selenium supplements have no reliable evidence for hair growth in people who are not deficient, and excess intake is a recognised cause of hair loss.
