ketoconazoleanti-dandruffmedicatedscalp-care

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.
