The product

Ah, dandruff. Yep, we’re talking about those pesky little itchy flakes.

DERCOS Anti-Dandruff DS Shampoo for Dry Hair is changing the dandruff-fighting haircare game entirely. 

This Chemist Warehouse exclusive is melding the worlds of skin care and haircare with unique ingredients that really work. The dermatologically-tested shampoo range includes salicylic acid, the best chance to rid your scalp of dryness and dandruff. Oh, and did we mention DERCOS works to rid your scalp of dandruff long-term? Yep, these skin care ingredients work to completely rebalance your scalp’s microbiome in just a matter of weeks!

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the DERCOS Anti-Dandruff DS Shampoo for Dry Hair to a range of members aged 25-34 with dry hair suffering from mild to severe dandruff.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the DERCOS Anti-Dandruff DS Shampoo for Dry Hair.

The moisture-boosting properties: For the ‘dry hair’ variant of the DERCOS range our Review Crew® all started the trial with dandruff and a dry scalp on their ‘to deal with’ list. So the fear for our members was that the product would leave their hair dry and brittle, even if it dealt with their scalp dryness. However, they were thrilled to find that both their hair and scalps saw moisture-boosting benefits.

The refreshing scalp-cleansing benefits: The rise of the ‘skinification’ trend has seen the rise in demand for skin care-meets-haircare products in the dandruff fighting market. Our members loved that DERCOS had shaken up the ‘typical’ dandruff shampoo, with the unique skin care-like ingredients leaving them with a cleansed and refreshed (read: flake-free) scalp. 

The scratch-busting relief: Even if you don’t suffer from dandruff like our members, if you’ve dealt with a dry scalp you know how uncomfortable and itchy it can be. Well, add the extra itch of the dreaded white flakes and you’ll be wanting to tear at your scalp (like our reviewers). But with a few washes our Review Crew® were able to feel major relief from their former scratch-prone selves.
