Clears visible flakes and soothes scalp discomfort while leaving hair soft and easy to comb
Vichy Dercos DS Shampoo is a 2-in-1 shampoo and detangler for flaky, uncomfortable scalps. It combines selenium disulfide, which helps cleanse the scalp and clear visible flakes, with salicylic acid, which lifts flakes and cleanses the scalp. High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid adds a conditioning care for the lengths. According to Vichy, visible flakes are removed from the first use, with a lasting effect of up to 6 weeks.
The texture
A pearly, creamy shampoo with a fresh menthol feel. It lathers well and rinses clean, and the built-in conditioning care leaves hair soft and easy to detangle.
Who it suits
- Visible flakes with a scalp that feels uncomfortable
- Anyone who wants shampoo and conditioner in one step
- Recurring flakes that need an intensive phase and a maintenance phase
- Men and women with normal to dry lengths
Worth knowing before you buy: It contains fragrance, menthol and a colorant. For a very sensitive, reactive scalp, the Dercos Shampoo for Sensitive Scalps is gentler.
How long a bottle lasts
The intensive phase is 3 washes a week for 4 weeks. The 200ml bottle covers about that month; the 390ml bottle also covers several weeks of weekly maintenance.
