DHS SAL Medicated Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 3% Salicylic Acid — 4 oz, Fragrance-Free for Psoriasis & Itchy Scalp

This compact 4 oz bottle contains a fragrance-free, PBA-free formula designed for targeted scalp care. It combines a keratolytic concentration of salicylic acid with a gentle cleansing base to loosen dry, flaky skin and help scalp oils rinse away more thoroughly. The product is intended for regular use as part of a scalp-care routine and is presented by DHS, a brand with decades in skin and hair health.

How does DHS SAL Shampoo help with flaking and visible buildup?

The 3% salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic to soften and break apart thickened, dry flakes so they can be rinsed away instead of accumulating. It also helps reduce surface oil that can bind flakes to hair and scalp, improving overall scalp appearance when used consistently.

• 3% salicylic acid to loosen and remove flakes
• Formulated to reduce oil that traps dead skin
• Fragrance-free to minimize added irritation
• Suitable for periodic or regular medicated use as directed

How should I use DHS SAL Shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair, massage to create a rich lather, and leave the shampoo on the scalp for several minutes before rinsing to allow the salicylic acid to work. Follow label directions—repeat if needed—and incorporate into a routine that balances medicated washes with milder cleanses to avoid over-drying.

• Wet hair thoroughly, apply a generous amount
• Massage into scalp and let sit several minutes
• Rinse well; repeat if heavy scaling persists
• Alternate with a gentle shampoo if using frequently

Is this shampoo suitable for sensitive scalps or daily use?

Because it contains an active keratolytic at medicated strength, DHS SAL Shampoo may be more drying than non-medicated shampoos. Many people use it a few times weekly rather than daily; if you have a very sensitive scalp, test a small area first and consult a dermatologist for long-term plans.

• Fragrance-free and PBA-free to reduce irritation risk
• Consider less frequent use if scalp becomes dry
• Patch-test if you have known sensitivities
• Seek professional advice for chronic scalp conditions

What else is in the formula and what should I expect?

Beyond salicylic acid, the shampoo includes cleansing agents and conditioners to help hair feel cleaner and more manageable after medicated washes. You can expect scalp softening and reduced visible flaking with repeated use, while hair may feel slightly less oily as flakes are removed.

• Cleansers that lift oils and debris for effective rinsing
• Conditioning components to help maintain hair texture
• Fragrance-free formulation to limit added aromas
• 4 oz travel-friendly bottle for trial or targeted use

Who is this for: DHS SAL Shampoo is made for adults and older teens who want a targeted, medicated option to manage persistent flaking, itch, and scalp buildup associated with dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or eczema. It's a practical choice if you prefer fragrance-free, PBA-free formulations and need a compact bottle for home use or travel. If you have severe or worsening scalp symptoms, consider checking with a healthcare professional to tailor a longer-term routine.
