Pro Daily Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Our Take

Three antifungals in one bottle — climbazole, piroctone olamine and zinc pyrithione — is unusual; most anti-dandruff shampoos pick one and commit. More unusual still for an Indian pharmacy brand, Scalpe states the levels: climbazole at 0.45% and piroctone olamine at 0.5%, both comfortably inside the range where they actually work, which is more than most of the shelf will tell you. We'd be warier of the front-of-pack promise — “reduces dandruff in one wash” is footnoted to an IQVIA survey of 350 people who had used the shampoo at least twice a week for three months or longer, which is not a claim about one wash at all. The formula's real cost sits further down the list, where imidurea, a formaldehyde-releasing preservative, sits alongside fragrance, a Yellow 5 Lake dye and a menthol–menthyl lactate cooling pair, on a scalp that is by definition already inflamed. At an MRP of ₹338 for 200 ml it is priced as a pharmacy staple rather than a treatment, and for straightforward oily-scalp dandruff that is fair value — though we'd move to something gentler once the flaking settles.

What buyers report

Recent Amazon reviews mostly report that it clears dandruff and itching quickly, often within the first bottle, which fits its three-antifungal formula, and some like the scent. The recurring caveat is dryness: several say hair needs a conditioner afterwards, and some found the flakes return once they stop using it.
