Ingredients
The Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff Purifying Shampoo is carefully formulated with a powerful blend of active ingredients designed to effectively combat dandruff while caring for sensitive and dry scalps. Its key antifungal agent, Selenium Disulfide (1%), works to eliminate the Malassezia yeast responsible for dandruff and helps rebalance the scalp’s microbiome to prevent recurrence. Complementing this is Salicylic Acid (1%), a gentle exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and unclogs hair follicles, promoting a healthier scalp environment.
To soothe and nourish dryness and irritation, the shampoo contains ceramides, which help restore and strengthen the scalp’s natural barrier, locking in moisture and reducing sensitivity. Additional calming agents such as bisabolol, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and farnesol, which offers antimicrobial benefits, support scalp comfort and protection.
The creamy formula also includes mild surfactants that cleanse without stripping essential oils, leaving hair feeling refreshed and hydrated. Overall, the combination of active antifungal ingredients and barrier-repairing components makes this shampoo an effective and gentle choice for those struggling with dry, sensitive scalps affected by dandruff.
Texture & Fragrance
Creamy—light foam with a fresh, mild scent. Users describe it as effective yet non-stripping, noting its pleasant citrus-tinged aroma (some find it reminiscent of men’s soap).
