    It has 1% Zinc Pyrithione, which controls the yeast that causes flaking and irritation. It uses a sulfate-based cleansing system (SLS/SLES), strong enough for daily oil control on an oily scalp.

    Use it daily or on alternate days as a maintenance wash, alongside the stronger, twice-weekly Selsun shampoo for stubborn dandruff.

    Best For: Persistent, thick flakes on normal to oily hair (twice a week).

    Key Strengths: Powered by Selenium Sulfide 1% for targeted Malassezia control, alongside moisturizing agents like Glycerin and Dimethicone.

    Drawbacks: Sulfate-free, but contains fragrance and colorants; limit use to twice a week to avoid irritation despite marketing claims for daily use.
