Oily scalp or dandruff? Choosing your next shampoo

“Oily scalp” and “dandruff” describe different concerns. When comparing shampoo, begin with what you are noticing rather than choosing by the name of the range alone.

Check what the product is for

The FREZYDERM hair-care range includes Seb Excess Shampoo and Anti Dandruff Shampoo. Read the individual product information and pack directions before deciding which fits your needs. Do not assume two shampoos are interchangeable or that using both will give a better result.

When flakes need advice

Dandruff can cause visible flakes and an itchy scalp. The NHS explains that it is not caused by poor hygiene. A pharmacist can help you choose an anti-dandruff shampoo and explain how to use it. See a GP if symptoms persist after four weeks of using an anti-dandruff shampoo, or if your scalp is very itchy, red or swollen.

Keep your comparison practical

Check the intended concern, application instructions, frequency of use and pack size. Note how your scalp responds, and avoid treating a product description as a diagnosis. Persistent discomfort deserves individual advice.
