FAQs
How often should I use Dermarest Psoriasis Shampoo + Conditioner?
Info needed: Please refer to the product label for specific usage instructions regarding frequency. Typically, medicated shampoos are used 2-3 times per week or as directed by a doctor.
Is this product safe for color-treated hair?
Info needed: While the product is fragrance-free, medicated shampoos containing Salicylic Acid can sometimes affect color-treated hair. It's recommended to perform a patch test or consult with a hairstylist or dermatologist if you have concerns about color fading.
Can children use this Dermarest shampoo?
This product is formulated for adult use. It is not recommended for use on children unless specifically directed by a doctor.
What is Salicylic Acid and how does it help with psoriasis?
Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that acts as a keratolytic, meaning it helps to soften, loosen, and remove scales and dead skin cells from the scalp. This helps to reduce flaking, scaling, and irritation associated with psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
What is the role of the Skin Soothing Zinc Complex?
The Skin Soothing Zinc Complex in this formula helps to calm scalp irritation, reduce redness, and control the excessive cell turnover that contributes to flaking and scaling in conditions like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
How long does it take to see results?
Results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of their condition. Consistent use as directed is crucial. Some users may notice improvement within a few weeks, while others may require longer periods to see significant changes.
Can I use other hair products (e.g., styling products) with this shampoo?
Yes, you can generally use other hair products after rinsing this shampoo, but it's advisable to avoid applying additional medicated treatments or harsh products to your scalp on the same day to prevent potential irritation or interactions.
Is this product truly fragrance-free?
Yes, the Dermarest Psoriasis Shampoo + Conditioner is specifically formulated to be fragrance-free, meaning no artificial fragrances are added, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.
