Updated November 10, 2026
0.6% selenium sulfide targets stubborn dandruff and itch; maintenance matters.
What the community says
A medicated scalp shampoo built around 0.6% selenium sulfide, with salicylic acid and menthol adding a very clean, cooling wash. It suits persistent flakes and itch, though frequent use can dry hair and symptoms return after stopping.
