A clarifying shampoo for visible flakes and excess oil at the root
Apivita Oily Dandruff Shampoo is a clarifying shampoo for oily scalps with greasy, clinging flakes. It combines natural salicylic acid from willow bark, which helps lift flakes, with propolis extract, the Greek brand's signature purifying ingredient, and climbazole, a classic scalp-care ingredient. Celery seed extract helps regulate excess sebum, while thyme and lavender extracts soothe the feeling of discomfort. With regular use, flakes look reduced and the scalp feels clean and comfortable for longer.
How it works
A clear gel shampoo that lathers generously and rinses cleanly, with a fresh herbal scent. Left on the scalp for a minute or two, it gives the actives time to work before you rinse.
Who it suits
- Oily scalp with visible, greasy flakes
- Scalp that feels uncomfortable or tight
- Hair that gets greasy quickly at the roots
- Men and women
Worth knowing before you buy: It is a sulfate-based shampoo (sodium laureth sulfate) and contains fragrance allergens, so it can feel drying on very dry lengths. Follow with a light conditioner on the ends only.
How long one bottle lasts
Used two to three times a week, the 250ml bottle lasts around two months.
