  I have been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and face for many years. Despite visiting several dermatologists who all gave me the same diagnosis, they never suggested anything that worked for me. I started researching on my own and discovered that if there is no underlying health issue causing the dermatitis, the fungus Malassezia may play a role.

  I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. One of those times, I use Biotrin DS shampoo, and the rest of the time I use a daily shampoo from Apivita. Of course, this specific shampoo dries out my hair, as that is its purpose - to completely remove the natural oils from the scalp. That's why I only wash the scalp and not the ends of my hair. Afterwards, I apply conditioner to the ends of my hair and make sure not to touch my face with it, as it can cause breakouts no matter how well I rinse it off.

  Additionally, I use a scalp massager brush almost every day with gentle movements on dry hair, and I have noticed that it helps a lot with the itching and pain from excess sebum. Of course, seborrheic dermatitis cannot be permanently eliminated, and there are periods of high stress or close to menstruation days when there is a flare-up.

  I am also leaving a link below for seborrheic dermatitis in combination with the Malassezia fungus, which really opened my eyes to what it is and which products I can use on my hair, face, and body to not worsen the condition.

  It did not work for my seborrheic dermatitis.
  The hair dries out, the skin becomes oily.
  I bought it with a dermatologist's recommendation, to alternate it with Ducray DS Delual, which has worked for me.
  I returned to Ducray DS Delual.

  It is very good! It provides immediate relief, but it does not eliminate the problem. When I used it for a while, it reappeared. Nevertheless, it did a good job as long as I used it. I definitely recommend it for someone who wants it for maintenance.

  At first, it helped with the itching and dandruff, but after about a month of use, it was back to the same. No difference at all, just like I was in the beginning.

  I have been using it for about three weeks, using it every other day, with moderate results so far for my seborrheic dermatitis problem that affects my scalp. The itching has indeed gone away, but the dry skin with white flakes remains. As soon as I finish the product in the bottle, I will definitely use another product. Besides, from what I read, it is necessary to change products from time to time to prevent the development of resistance to the active ingredients by fungi.

  From nowhere I had seborrheic dermatitis or atopic dermatitis, each doctor says something different, they didn't have a common opinion. Whatever it was, it reduced it by 80%. I like its scent. They took it as a substitute for Selsun and it seems to be better.

  Update: after a year of use, it finally didn't live up to expectations

  The best I have tried for short and oily hair.
  I use it in my daily shower alternately with a commercial shampoo.
  It also helps with irritations and pimples on the scalp!

  I have been using it for several months and I didn't see any results! The dandruff was the same as before. I wonder how it has so many positive reviews.. wasted money!

  Effectively cleanses the scalp and with two or three washes, it eliminates flakes. Three times a week for at least two weeks and then maintenance once a week. It is necessary to use a hair mask afterwards because it dries out the hair.

  It did absolutely nothing. Usually, other products clean the scalp as you use them intensively during outbreaks and gradually stop during maintenance. This one, with daily use during an outbreak, doesn't even reduce flakes. Maybe those who claim it cleaned their scalp have a smaller problem.

  It's not that it wasn't good! I bought many similar products and in the end only one ultrex ended up fitting me! So I'm not objective! ;)

  After the discontinuation of Selsun for various reasons, I am lucky to have discovered this. I was tired of medicated shampoos that don't lather and smell bad. The others I tried gave me dandruff and allergies on my scalp, but this is by far the best! Not better than Ducray, of course, two waters with Ducray Kelual DS, but the last water with this doesn't irritate my scalp anymore! It's convenient, I take it with me to the hair salon so I don't have to change shampoos

  After the second use, seborrheic dermatitis disappears. However, if I stop using it for more than 1 month, it reappears. I have used at least 6 shampoos from other brands, but this is the only one that has results. Ideal for washing at least 2 times a week. It does not leave the hair dry and has a nice soft scent. I have already bought it 3-4 times and of course, I will continue.

  This specific shampoo I didn't like at all... I bought it because I have oily hair and I get some pimples on my scalp... It didn't do anything, on the second day my hair was greasy and I had even more pimples... It didn't foam at all and the quantity in the bottle was very little... Waste of money...

  I am in the 4th week of use.
  During the 1st week, I used it continuously for 5 days.

  Instructions for use:
  2 washes each time with a minimal amount (really, NOT much is needed - my hair is very long - I use 4 drops each time)
  I start from the cheeks and end at the scalp
  Rinse with the head down (advice from a hairdresser - to prevent dead cells from "sitting" on the scalp and to remove them)

  My scalp was noticeably cleaner from the 1st day of use. After the 3rd use, I have N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

  Now I alternate the washes with another product that I ordered (SELSUN - SELSUN Blue Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - 125ml), so that my scalp doesn't get used to it.
  I am completely satisfied and will order both again!

  Very good product, it has already relieved me to a great extent and I have been using it for only three days! Of course, if you have an issue, you need to wash your hands every day. I can say that if it continues like this, it will become my standard for washing 2-3 times a week and during periods of remission! (The scent is as expected).

  Very effective from the first wash. Of course, the price is a bit steep for just 150ml but it is worth it and more.

  It does what it promises... stops dandruff caused by seborrhea, relieves irritation, redness, and itching as long as it is applied as recommended frequency of use!

  I have had a problem for about 12 years and I have changed many shampoos that have been recommended to me, even by a dermatologist. I have been using this specific shampoo for two weeks and my dandruff and seborrhea have disappeared, even though they were at their peak. It only remains a little on my scalp, but it has almost gone.

  I highly recommend it. Personally, it saved me and basically so quickly that I was amazed. I feel unlucky that so many years have passed and I found it now...

  I have a chronic issue with dermatitis, sometimes very intense. This is the only shampoo I saw results with, just use it correctly and stay away from commercial products, they make the problem much worse.

  The product is very good and definitely delivers on its promises to a large extent. One small "negative" (which may be specific to my case) is that while it works great on the hair, when I wash my beard (which I have issues with dandruff and sebum), it always leaves a little bit of dandruff (it becomes visible a few hours after washing) without being able to eliminate it. It might be a minor flaw of the product or maybe not, since its use is exclusively for the head. The scent is subtle and pleasant.

  Very good product at least for my case (dandruff - oily scalp) which is occasional maybe due to the season. I imagine the same will apply to those who have a permanent problem.
  This shampoo "shows its teeth" from the first applications with the condition of daily use during outbreaks, it has a very nice scent, nice foam, and keeps the hair non-greasy and in good condition, especially if you don't use any gel or similar product.
  Highly recommended.

  Very decent for its price. Cleans without drying the hair. From the first application, it eliminated the itchiness of dermatitis - although I use it in the maintenance phase and not aggressively. I will buy it again. Nice scent and foam that makes you feel like it's "cleaning".
