Selsun dandruff shampoo has been discontinued. We recommend Dandrazol Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 100ml instead, which is also effective for treating dermatitis and dandruff.

This medicated shampoo is specially formulated to offer relief from stubborn dandruff, and more serious scalp and skin conditions, like seborrhoea dermatitis.

Benefits:

• Treats dandruff and the skin disorder, seborrheic dermatitis
• Contains 2.5% Selenium Sulfide, a strong antifungal highly effective against dandruff
• Regular dandruf shampoos usually contain only 1% Selenium Sulfide
• Reduces greasiness on scalp
• Inhibits the growth of skin cells that cause dandruff

The active ingredient is Selenium Sulfide, of which there is 2.5%. Selsun anti-dandruff shampoo (Selsun Shampoo 2.5) is currently the only dandruff shampoo that contains 2.5% of the active ingredient. Other alternatives with Selenium Sulphide generally only contain around 1%.

Selenium is a strong antifungal that is highly effective against dandruff. It's also a cytostatic agent, meaning it slows down the production of skin cells on the scalp that cause dandruff.

Selenium Sulphide is considered so effective that it's also used to treat tinea versicolor, a condition that causes skin discolouration.

Selenium sulphide 2.5% w/v

Adults and children aged 5 years and over:

Shake bottle well before use. Wet your hair and then massage enough into your scalp to form a lather. Leave for two to three minutes, and then rinse thoroughly.

Apply liberally twice weekly for two weeks, and then once weekly for the next two weeks. Thereafter use only as often as necessary to control the condition.

Not recommended for children under 5 years.

If you are breastfeeding, pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suffer from allergies, first speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

In decreasing order of severity: skin irritation; occasional reports of an increase in normal hair loss; discolouration of hair (can be avoided or minimized by thorough rinsing of hair after treatment).

As with other shampoos, oiliness or dryness of hair and scalp may occur.

Nothing else works for me, I use this twice a week and it keeps my dandruff at bay. None of the other anti-dandruff shampoos compares.

After years of flaky dandruff on my shoulder and itchy scalp, and having tried Head and Shoulders, T gel, Nizoral, and medicated coal tar shampoo, Selsun was recommended to me in Tescos. It actually worked. Within a couple of weeks, no dandruff at all, and I have had to use it once or twice again. That was 4 months ago. Brilliant!! Highly recommended.

This shampoo is the only thing that has helped my itchy flaky scalp and it was so bad, it would keep me awake, I've tried many things from the gp and pharmacy and this is the only one that helps. I find it drys my hair out so a good conditioner is a must. The John Freida hair masks are very good. Thank you.
