Anti-Dandruff Shampoo with 1% Ketoconazole, 14 Fl Oz, Fresh Scent, Anti Fungal Shampoo

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a clinically proven, medicated treatment formulated with 1% Ketoconazole, a powerful antifungal ingredient. This shampoo is specifically designed to target and eliminate the root cause of persistent dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and other fungal-related scalp conditions. It works by reducing the presence of the yeast Malassezia, which is often linked to flaking, itching, and irritation. More than just a cosmetic cleanser, this Nizoral Shampoo offers a therapeutic solution for those seeking long-term scalp health and relief from visible flakes.

The 14 Fl Oz bottle provides a substantial supply for a complete treatment regimen. Its fresh, clean scent makes it pleasant for regular use, distinguishing it from many medicinal shampoos that can have strong chemical odors. This shampoo is intended for use twice a week for up to 8 weeks to control symptoms, after which it can be used intermittently to maintain results. It lathers effectively to cleanse the hair and scalp while delivering its active ingredient directly to the problem areas.

Ideal for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age, this anti-dandruff shampoo is a cornerstone of effective scalp care routines. It is suitable for most hair types when used as directed. For best results, it should be massaged into wet hair, left on the scalp for 3-5 minutes to allow the Ketoconazole to work, and then thoroughly rinsed. Users can follow with their regular conditioner if desired, focusing it on the mid-lengths and ends of the hair.

Key Features:

• Ketoconazole Shampoo: Clinically proven to control flaking, scaling and itching from dandruff. Nizoral is so powerful it can even control severe dandruff.
• Controls Scalp Fungus: Nizoral shampoo is different because it doesn’t just address the symptoms, it gets right to the root of dandruff as it kills the fungus that causes it.
• Dandruff Shampoo For Men and Women: The only over the counter dandruff shampoo with Ketoconazole 1%, a clinically proven, powerful dandruff fighting ingredient.
• 10X More Effective: The active ingredient in Nizoral is 10X more effective at killing scalp fungus, the primary cause of dandruff, than the active ingredient in the leading dandruff shampoo based on lab testing (not a product to product comparison)
• Gentle On Hair: Gentle enough to use on color treated, chemically processed, or gray hair.

Clinically Proven, Targeted Formula

The primary advantage of this Ketoconazole shampoo is its use of a 1% concentration of Ketoconazole, an ingredient backed by clinical studies for its efficacy against dandruff-causing fungi. Unlike many over-the-counter shampoos that only manage symptoms, Nizoral targets the microbial cause, offering a higher level of treatment. This makes it a trusted choice recommended by dermatologists for persistent cases of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, establishing its authority in the scalp care category.

Effective and Long-Lasting Relief

Users consistently report significant reduction in itching and flaking within just a few uses, with many achieving clear scalps after completing the initial treatment phase. The 14 Fl Oz size is economical and lasts for the full recommended 8-week course, providing excellent value. Its effectiveness often means less frequent use is needed for maintenance compared to daily-use shampoos, saving time and product in the long run. The fresh scent is a notable user experience advantage, making the treatment process more enjoyable.

Superior to Basic Anti-Dandruff Options

Compared to shampoos with pyrithione zinc or selenium sulfide, Ketoconazole 1% is often more effective for stubborn, recurrent dandruff. As a bestseller, its widespread positive reviews and long-standing market presence testify to its reliable performance. The formula is also designed to be gentle enough for periodic use without overly drying the hair, a common complaint with other medicated shampoos. Its status as a #1 selling dandruff treatment is built on a foundation of proven results and user satisfaction.

While highly effective, it's important to manage expectations. This is a medicated treatment, not a daily moisturizing shampoo. Some users with very dry or color-treated hair may find it slightly drying if used without a good conditioner. It is not intended for children under 12 years of age, limiting its use for some families. The ketoconazole formula, while powerful, may not work for 100% of users, as some scalp conditions have different underlying causes not related to fungus.

Proper usage is key to success and avoiding potential downsides. Leaving the lather on for less than the recommended 3-5 minutes can reduce its efficacy. Overuse (more than twice a week during the treatment phase) is not advised and will not speed up results. Some individuals might experience an initial adjustment period where the scalp feels different. It is also not a cosmetic instant fix; it requires consistent use over several weeks to break the cycle of flaking and see full benefits. As with any medicated product, a small number of users might be sensitive to an ingredient, so discontinuing use if irritation occurs is recommended.

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo with 1% Ketoconazole stands out as a powerful, clinically-backed solution for stubborn dandruff and fungal scalp conditions. Its targeted formula addresses the root cause rather than just symptoms, offering long-lasting relief that many over-the-counter options cannot match. The fresh scent and substantial 14 Fl Oz bottle make the treatment regimen more pleasant and economical.

We recommend this shampoo for adults and adolescents over 12 who have not found success with basic dandruff shampoos and are dealing with persistent flaking and itching. It is an excellent investment for scalp health. For best results, follow the usage instructions carefully and pair it with a good conditioner if you have dry hair.
