Background: This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety gentle anti-dandruff regime in the management of dandruff in healthy, Indian participants suffering from dandruff.
Methods: A total of 55 subjects with clinically diagnosed moderate dandruff were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Study was conducted in 3 phases, wash-off phase for 2 weeks, treatment phase for 4 weeks, followed by a regression phase of 1 week (during which anti-dandruff regime was withdrawn. Participants applied anti-dandruff regime on their scalp as per the instructions provided during the treatment (thrice a week). This is a regime of anti-dandruff shampoo and anti-dandruff scalp treatment.
Results: Regime showed reduction in dandruff flakes from first treatment and show improvement till the end of treatment phase, and maintained the lower dandruff levels below the baseline levels even after 1 week of product withdrawal. There were no reported side effects like oiliness/redness/irritation etc., during treatment and regression phase.
Conclusions: Anti-dandruff regime is a safe and highly effective solution designed to combat dandruff, while simultaneously improving overall health of the scalp and hair.
