A gentle, 9-ingredient shampoo that calms itching and tightness from the first wash
Ducray Sensinol Physio-Protective Treatment Shampoo is a gentle soothing shampoo for sensitive, weakened scalps prone to itching, tightness and irritation. Its short formula has only 9 ingredients, 98% of natural origin, and is built around polidocanol, a soothing agent that quickly relieves discomfort. It works on itching triggered by stress, pollution, temperature changes, colouring, unsuitable hair products or dryness. In Ducray's studies, itching was calmed from the first use and strongly reduced after a month, with the effect lasting a month after stopping. Hair is left supple, shiny and soft.
How it feels
A soft, lightly foaming shampoo with no scent that rinses out easily and does not leave the scalp tight.
Who it suits
- Sensitive or reactive scalps that itch, tingle or feel tight
- Scalps irritated by colouring, styling or pollution
- All hair types, including frequent washing
- Usable during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and on scalps weakened by medical treatments
Worth knowing before you buy: it soothes itching but does not treat dandruff. If flakes are the main issue, a Ducray Squanorm or Kelual shampoo is the better choice.
