Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff DS 2-in-1 Conditioning Shampoo is a dermatological shampoo with a built-in conditioner designed to care for scalps suffering from dandruff, itching, and recurring flaking, while providing balanced care for the hair fibers in the same step. Its formula mainly relies on Selenium DS to help remove visible dandruff, support scalp microbiome balance, and reduce dandruff recurrence, leaving the scalp looking cleaner, more comfortable, and clearer.

Its 2-in-1 formula is not focused only on the scalp; it also helps hydrate the hair, soften it, and make detangling easier thanks to moisturizing care supported by hyaluronic acid, with hydration lasting up to 72 hours and a softer, shinier appearance. The regular-use program also provides protection from dandruff recurrence for up to 6 weeks, making it a practical choice for all hair types, including color-treated hair, when you need to combine anti-dandruff care, hydration, softness, and detangling in one product.

How to Use:

1. Shake the bottle well before each use.
2. Wet the hair and scalp with water.
3. Apply a suitable amount of shampoo to the wet scalp and hair.
4. Gently massage the scalp with fingertips until an even lather forms.
5. Leave the product on the scalp and hair for 2 minutes.
6. Massage gently again, then rinse well with water.
7. During the intensive care phase, use 3 times weekly for 4 weeks.
8. After controlling dandruff, it can be used once weekly to help maintain results and reduce recurrence.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends shaking the bottle before each use so the active ingredients inside the formula are distributed evenly before applying it to the scalp.
• During washing, focus on the scalp and roots instead of rubbing the hair lengths harshly, because dandruff starts from the scalp while the lather passing through the lengths is enough to cleanse them.
• Do not rinse the shampoo immediately after forming lather; leave it for a full 2 minutes so the scalp gets the proper contact time.
• For the best result, follow the program of 3 times weekly for 4 weeks instead of random or inconsistent use.
• After dandruff improves, use it once weekly to help maintain results and reduce the chance of flakes returning.
• Thanks to its 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner feature, some hair types may not need an additional conditioner, but very dry or long hair may benefit from a lightweight conditioner on the ends when needed.
• If the hair tangles easily, run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through the lengths after washing to benefit from the softening and detangling effect.
• Use fingertips, not nails, while massaging the scalp so harsh scratching does not increase irritation or redness.
• Choose lukewarm water and avoid very hot water, as it may increase dryness, itching, and scalp discomfort.
• If you use many styling products, cleanse the scalp well regularly so product buildup does not increase the feeling of heaviness or the appearance of flakes.
• If dandruff is very severe or accompanied by thick flakes, visible inflammation, oozing, or unusual hair loss, it is preferable to have the scalp evaluated by a dermatologist.
• If you do not notice improvement after following the program for 4 weeks, the scalp may need a different evaluation to determine the cause of dandruff and choose the most suitable care.
