Why use Nodé DS+ Anti-dandruff Intense shampoo?
Nodé DS+ Anti-dandruff Intense shampoo is specially formulated by Bioderma to treat severe, recurring dandruff accompanied by intense itching and redness (seborrhoeic dermatitis). Its unique formula acts on the cause of dandruff thanks to the patented DSactiv™ complex, which combines Piroctone Olamine and Zinc Pyrithione to target the proliferation of Malassezia yeast. Powerful keratolytic agents such as salicylic acid and citric acid quickly remove flakes. This shampoo provides long-lasting scalp relief, reduces itching and prevents recurrence, for restored comfort and healthy hair.
How does the DSactiv™ complex work on severe dandruff?
The patented DSactiv™ complex is at the heart of Nodé DS+ Anti-dandruff Intensive's efficiency. It combines two powerful antifungal active ingredients: Piroctone Olamine and Zinc Pyrithione. These two ingredients work in synergy to limit the proliferation of Malassezia yeast, the main cause of dandruff and flaky skin. By controlling this micro-organism, they reduce inflammation and flaking, allowing the scalp to regain its balance.
Can Nodé DS+ shampoo soothe intense itching?
Yes, Nodé DS+ is formulated to effectively soothe the intense itching often associated with severe dandruff. Plus its action on Malassezia yeast, it contains soothing and anti-inflammatory agents. The rapid reduction in flakes and Sanitizing action on the scalp contribute directly to reducing sensations of discomfort and pruritus, offering noticeable relief from the very first applications.
How often is Nodé DS+ shampoo recommended?
For the initial treatment of severe dandruff, it is generally recommended to use Nodé DS+ Anti-dandruff Shampoo Intensive 3 times a week for the first 3 weeks. In the maintenance phase, or as soon as symptoms improve, you can reduce the frequency to 1 or 2 times a week, alternating with a gentle non-treatment shampoo such as Nodé Fluid from Bioderma, to maintain results and prevent recurrence.
Is Nodé DS+ shampoo suitable for very sensitive scalps?
Nodé DS+ shampoo is designed for severe dandruff and irritated scalps. Although it is formulated to be well tolerated, its high concentration of active ingredients may be a little intense for extremely sensitive scalps that do not have major dandruff problems. For simply sensitive scalps without severe dandruff, Bioderma offers other soothing ranges. If in doubt, or if you have a known hypersensitivity, it is always best to consult a dermatologist.
