Dermo Hair & Scalp

Pharmacy shampoos and scalp treatments for dandruff, sensitive scalp and hair loss.

Dermocosmetic hair and scalp care

Dermocosmetic haircare takes a skin-first approach to hair. Because the scalp is skin, many hair concerns, such as flakes, itchiness, oiliness, sensitivity and thinning, start there. Pharmacy brands formulate gentle, well-tolerated shampoos, lotions and treatments that care for the scalp and support healthier-looking hair, often tested on sensitive skin.

Common concerns and solutions

• Dandruff and flakes: anti-dandruff shampoos help control visible flaking.
• Sensitive or itchy scalp: soothing, fragrance-light formulas.
• Oily scalp: balancing shampoos that cleanse without stripping.
• Thinning hair: lotions and ampoules to support fuller-looking hair.
• Frequent washing: extra-gentle shampoos for daily use.

Tips for a healthy scalp

1. Massage shampoo into the scalp and leave it on for a minute before rinsing.
2. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
3. Use treatments consistently for several weeks.
4. Avoid very hot styling directly on the scalp.

For persistent scaling, redness, pain or sudden hair loss, see a doctor or dermatologist.
