Dove Derma Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo & Conditioner 16 oz/9 oz — 2% Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide

Dove Derma Scalp Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner is a two-step, dermatologist-developed system that helps remove flakes, soothe the scalp, and strengthen hair using 2% salicylic acid and niacinamide.

Designed for people who experience visible dandruff and sensitivity, this sulfate-free regimen combines a clarifying shampoo (16 oz) with a hydrating conditioner (9 oz) and scalp-targeted ingredients to rebalance and fortify the scalp. The formula pairs salicylic acid to exfoliate buildup with niacinamide and glycerin to support the scalp’s moisture barrier, while Dove’s decades of skincare expertise inform gentle cleansing and conditioning.

How does this system help reduce visible flakes?

The shampoo contains 2% salicylic acid, an exfoliating ingredient that helps lift and dissolve dry, flaky scalp buildup so flakes are less visible. Regular use with the matching conditioner supports a cleaner scalp surface and fewer recurring flakes over time.

• 2% salicylic acid helps loosen and remove flaky buildup
• Sulfate-free cleansing preserves natural scalp oils
• Follow-up conditioner smooths hair cuticles to reduce flake appearance

Will it soothe sensitivity and keep the scalp hydrated?

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) and glycerin are included to help replenish and protect the scalp’s natural moisture barrier, reducing tightness or irritation associated with dryness. The conditioner delivers lightweight hydration so hair feels softer without weighing it down.

• Niacinamide supports barrier repair and skin comfort
• Glycerin attracts and locks in moisture
• pH-balanced, dermatologist-developed formulas minimize irritation risk

How does this routine affect hair strength and appearance?

By targeting the scalp—the foundation for strong hair—the system aims to improve hair resilience and manageability. The conditioning step smooths strands and restores softness, helping hair look healthier from root to tip.

• Scalp-focused care nurtures the source of hair strength
• Conditioner restores softness and reduces tangles
• Visible improvement in hair manageability with regular use

How should I use the shampoo and conditioner for best results?

Use the Dove Derma Scalp shampoo to cleanse the scalp thoroughly, massaging to activate the salicylic acid; rinse and apply the conditioner primarily to mid-lengths and ends, and leave it on briefly before rinsing. For persistent dandruff, follow the regimen consistently as directed and pair with gentle brushing to remove loosened flakes.

• Apply shampoo to wet hair, massage into the scalp, then rinse
• Apply conditioner mainly to lengths and ends, avoid heavy application on the scalp
• Use regularly for continued scalp balance and flake control
