Anti-Fungal Shampoo for Folliculitis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Scalp Psoriasis - Relieves Itchy & Dry Scalp

It's been a couple of months of use, but I must say, it really works! I bought it as a last ditch effort, as I was fighting a really bad outbreak of folliculitis along my neck line, as well as various places on my scalp. I've attributed to the use of my CPAP mask, as it was occurring where the strap was touching. The dermatologist prescribed a couple of different topical medications, but none of them worked. I also have naturally oily skin. I'd be the first to say that I don't particularly believe that any of the "natural" ingredients that are in this product really does anything--there is no real scientific research that proves any of them are effective for anything, a bunch of hooey for "crunchy" people looking for "natural" solutions. But there is an ingredient in this product that provides real relief and effective treatment. The product image here showing the ingredients do not match what is actually listed on the bottle. See my attached photo. The primary ingredients are basically water, soap, salt, citric acid, menthol and SALICYLIC ACID, something conveniently left out of their photo. And guess what that is--it's used for treating and preventing acne along with other skin conditions, like warts, psoriasis, calluses and corns. It's a mild exfoliant that breaks down a thin layer of skin and germs that live on and in that layer. This is real science, not a bunch of natural extracts that does who knows what, if anything. But, hey, this works in our favor for a change! But not everything has to be about science and efficacy. The other ingredients may have other benefits. The menthol is certainly really nice, providing a wonderful cooling effect and relief from hot, itchy scalp. It's tingly, and I love it. The scent of the shampoo is great--it's mild and not unpleasant, nothing overpoweringly fake, no strong artificial smelling perfumes added--a very gender-neutral scent. It may seem expensive for what looks like a small bottle, but a little goes a long way. Because it doesn't have a ton of fillers like most store-bought shampoos, I find that you only need a small amount to produce the same amount of lather. The key is to massage it onto your scalp, not just wash your hair with it. And once your condition clears up, I find that I only need to use it every other day, or even every two or three days. In two months, I'm not even halfway through the bottle. I hope this was helpful. Give it a shot!

Let me start out by saying that we are so grateful that we found this awesome shampoo and conditioner set that actually works to get rid of our son's dandruff. I know everyone's skin is different but we thought we would try this out to see if it could help. We went in with the expectation that it could take a few weeks to see results. But after one use (following the directions of leaving it on his head for a few minutes before rinsing) we were greatly surprised to see not only had it fully cleared up any dandruff but he said his scalp doesn't itch any longer either. He likes the smell as well. He is almost 12 years old and we know it's pretty common in boys his age especially with puberty on the horizon. If you are on the fence, just try it. The first set we received arrived cracked and leaking everywhere. We contacted the seller and they instantly sent us a new set for free.

I rarely write reviews but I wanted to share my experience with this product in the hopes to help others like me. I am a 71 year old female with fairly thick hair and a history of oily skin. In recent years I have had increasing issues with what my dermatologist diagnosed as Folliculitis. He wrote prescriptions for a antibiotic pill and a dab-on antibiotic lotion. I didn't really want to take a pill forever and the lotion was very difficult to apply with thick hair on numerous break-out sores. I also tried all the well known shampoo products for this condition. On a desperate whim and seeing good reviews - I ordered the Pharmbanner Shampoo & Conditioner. I was not overly hopeful and NOW... I am incredibly impressed with my results !! I have used both products for about 2 months and the difference in my sores improved rapidly ! For over one month I have had absolutely NO sores or itching. AMAZING to me ! At first I washed my hair every other day but I prefer every third day just because I'm lazy about styling time for me after a shower. After the condition quickly improved dramatically I have returned to my 3 day schedule with no problems. I have no idea what MAGIC spell is in this shampoo. I see Salicylic acid listed but that is a main ingredient in other shampoos I have tried. So it must be the combination of ingredients ! I am so happy and hope this company stays around forever. I will note that the shampoo does not lather easily. I apply enough to work into my scalp and let sit for a few minutes. I'll admit that after waiting I have added a little head & shoulders that lathers well but never gave me any success by itself. After rinsing I used their Conditioner, which I also let sit on my hair for a few minutes. I don't use that much but it works very well ! I have my hair colored every 4 weeks to cover grey - and my hair is soft and shiny with NO color degradation. Thank you Pharmbanner - whoever you are !

I've used a lot of shampoos hoping for results but this one has been the only one to actually show promising results. Even the first use had noticeable results over the next couple days. So far I've been using it 2-3 times a week and while I wouldn't say I'm "cured" of my itchy flakey scalp, it is massively improved

Finally a product that works to fix my itchy, dry scalp. I was skeptical at first because I don’t have dandruff etc, I have dry, itchy scalp. Not sure if it’s due to perimenopause or vitamin deficiency but it started months ago and I tried product after product and nothing worked til this product. My hair feels so soft and finally reduced itching and almost all the tiny flaking is gone! So happy!

I have had sores on my scalp that itch and burn and bleed. Id been spraying benadryl on my scalp witch felt like fire and also not good for your hair. My head has been a mess for years. I was using head and shoulders which I thought was helping bc my condition would slightly improve after each was only to have flakes then chunks and itchiness and sores continue getting worse between washes. I saw this and ordered it, in the set of shampoo and conditioner. Im not going when I say three unexpected things happened: 1. When I use super expensive top of the line hair products my hair will feel silky smothe as im rinsing in the shower. It immediately feels and looks nice but the sores are burning and scalp is itchy! When I used the conditioner: immediately my hair was SOFT and silky!!! It was as if I had picked this out for hair (not scalp) benefits!!! My hair is down to my butt in the back. After showering the brush went through its super easy! Having salon hair isn't what I was expecting! 2. My husband ket running his fingers through my hair commenting on how soft it is! Wh8ch i was not expecting! Im 40 so to have my hubs play with my hair again was so sweet ❤️ 💙 💜 3. Sores felt sooo soothed even while still in the shower... immediately soothed. Which I wasnt expecting. 4. And finally what I hoped but wasnt expecting would exceed my expectations: the itchiness not only went away during the wash, but after... and wasnt there the next day or the next one too. ZERO itchiness!!!! 5. These freekin sores! By wash 2... sores are almost totally healed and NO NEW ONES coming in!! So this set... Salon perfect soft hair, immediately helped with all symptoms, husband enjoying hair, itchiness gone even several days later, and sores healed. My father has sores on his scalp and I've already bought 2nd set of products for him. I hope everyone who gets this experiences the same immediate relief and shine that I did!!!

Very effective shampoo. Helps reduce itchiness and keeps my scalp feeling clean and comfortable.

This shampoo has worked quite well, since we had tried with many different products and nothing worked and I found this one and it has solved my hair psoriasis problem by reducing my itching and hair acne outbreak It really worked for me
