Ducray Kelual DS Treatment Shampoo

What it is:

A dermatologist-formulated, gentle yet effective shampoo designed specifically to combat severe dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It soothes itching, reduces flakiness, and helps prevent recurrence with continued use.

Main Benefits

• Soothes itching and irritation: Glycyrrhetinic acid delivers calming, anti-inflammatory relief. 
• Eliminates dandruff: With antifungal agents like ciclopirox olamine and piroctone olamine that help rid and prevent stubborn flakes. 
• Removes stubborn scales: A patented keratolytic component (Keluamid) works to gently loosen and clear flaky patches. 
• Prevents future flare-ups: Recommended routine includes intensive use followed by maintenance to keep dandruff at bay. 

How to Use

• Intensive Phase: Apply to wet hair, lather, rinse, then reapply and leave on for 3 minutes. Use 3 times per week for 2 weeks.
• Maintenance Phase: Reduce frequency to once weekly—or alternate with a gentle shampoo like Ducray Elution on off-days.
