So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Here's what our community thinks
SebaMed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 16 ingredients
Good SD shampoo with Pyrithione Zinc. It makes my skin a bit dry but is strong against dandruff and much more gentle than Nizoral. I think it is an excellent option to use x1 or x2 a week as main SD shampoo. Very affordable too.
I like to cycle it on and off with Vichy Dercos Antidandruff, since this has a different active component; especially periods of increased flacking.

the only thing that helps heal my fungal acne, i leave it on for around 10 mins as a mask then wash it off
