Duradry

Duradry AM Stick

Duradry AM is a high-performance antiperspirant featuring the maximum OTC concentration (20%) of Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex Gly. While it successfully utilizes arrowroot powder for moisture management as recommended in the research, it lacks the 'skincare-first' ingredients like AHAs or skin barrier-supporting ceramides found in the gold standard.

Nizoral

Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Nizoral is the clinical gold standard for dandruff treatment due to its 1% Ketoconazole content, which is backed by robust clinical evidence. However, the formula scores poorly on ingredient quality as it utilizes harsh sulfates (Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate) and contains Quaternium-15, a formaldehyde releaser listed as a red flag in our research. It is an exceptionally effective medical treatment but a suboptimal daily-use shampoo for hair fiber health.

Monday Haircare

Moisture Shampoo

Monday Haircare offers a solid surfactant system that avoids harsh sulfates, utilizing Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate as recommended in the gold standard. However, it relies on generic marketing claims rather than product-specific clinical data and includes Sodium Chloride (a red flag thickener) and fragrance, which limits it from reaching the Gold tier.
