I am experiencing increased dandruff. Which is the right shampoo for me?

What many people don't know is that not all dandruff is the same. For the correct cleansing of the scalp and hair, and to solve the problem of a flaky scalp, we need to differentiate between "oily dandruff" and "dandruff due to a dry scalp".

"Dry dandruff" is the result of a dry scalp. These small, fine flakes form when the scalp produces too little sebum which causes it to lose its natural balance, leading to a dry, flaky scalp, which is often accompanied by itching.

In the case of a dry scalp, gentle, moisturising cleansing is recommended. Thanks to its gentle shampoo formula, Alpecin Hybrid Caffeine Shampoo is particularly suitable. It works by moisturising and regenerating the scalp.

"Oily dandruff", on the other hand, is accompanied by large, plaque-like flakes which form on a greasy scalp. Firstly, Alpecin Double-Effect Caffeine Shampoo loosens the crusty corneous cells and thoroughly frees the scalp from dandruff. The effective anti-dandruff ingredients, salicylic acid and piroctone olamine prevent the formation of new dandruff. Secondly, the caffeine complex penetrates the hair, preventing hair loss*.
