Selsun Gold Treatment Shampoo
Selsun Gold Treatment Shampoo is medically proven¹ to fight problem dandruff.

Main causes of dandruff
The fungus 'malassezie furfur' is found naturally on the skin, however it can sometimes grow too fast and feed on the oils in our hair follicles. This can irritate the skin, resulting in dandruff and itching.
Dry skin is especially common in winter when the air is cold and when rooms are overheated or showers are hot. Flakes are generally smaller and less oily compared to other causes of dandruff.
Seborrheic dermatitis (irritated, oily skin) is a frequent cause of dandruff, and is marked by red, greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales.
If you don't regularly wash your hair, oils and skin cells from your scalp can build up and cause dandruff.
Sensitivities to certain haircare products or hair dyes can cause a red, itchy, scaling scalp. Shampooing too often or using too many styling products may also irritate your scalp, causing dandruff.
Sebaceous glands are microscopic glands in the skin. When you experience a hormonal imbalance or stress, this can cause the glands to become overactive and may result in mild dandruff.
