Dermatar Shampoo is
a medicated solution designed to combat stubborn dandruff, seborrheic
dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis. It works by using a powerful
combination of active ingredients to reduce scaling, dryness, and inflammation,
providing long-lasting relief from an itchy, flaky scalp.

symptoms of dandruff, dermatitis, and psoriasis.

exfoliate the scalp, removing dead skin cell buildup and reducing flakiness.

down excessive skin cell growth and reduce inflammation, offering comfort from
discomfort.
Ø Nourishes the Scalp: Contains ingredients
like Aloe Vera to hydrate and soothe the skin during treatment.
