A purifying gel shampoo that clears greasy flakes and keeps the scalp fresh for longer
La Roche-Posay Kerium Anti-Dandruff Gel-Shampoo for Oily Scalp is a flake-care shampoo for oily scalps with greasy, clinging flakes and a feeling of discomfort. It combines piroctone olamine with salicylic acid and LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid), which gently exfoliate the scalp and loosen flakes so they rinse away. Zinc PCA helps regulate sebum, so roots stay fresh and less greasy between washes. It cleans thoroughly without harshness, and visible flakes and discomfort are reduced with regular use.
How it works
A clear, fresh gel that lathers generously and rinses out easily. Massaged into the scalp and left for a few minutes, it gives the actives time to work before rinsing, and leaves roots feeling light and clean.
Who it suits
- Oily scalps with greasy, yellowish or clinging flakes
- Scalps that feel uncomfortable and get greasy quickly
- Scalps that need an effective flake-care shampoo used several times a week
- Adults who wash their hair often
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains sulfates and fragrance, and is designed for oily, flaky scalps. For persistent or heavy flaking, Kerium DS is the more intensive option, and once flakes are under control you can alternate with the Kerium Extra Gentle Gel-Shampoo.
How long one bottle lasts
Used 2 to 3 times a week with a walnut-sized amount, the 200ml bottle lasts around six to eight weeks.
