Primarily used for treating and preventing dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis),缓解头皮瘙痒和脱屑。也可用于一般头皮护理,帮助改善头皮干燥和刺激。May also be used for general scalp care to maintain healthy skin barrier function.

Zinc pyrithione provides antifungal and antibacterial properties to reduce Malassezia yeast on the scalp, which contributes to dandruff. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps regulate sebum production and supports skin barrier function. Panthenol (provitamin B5) provides moisturizing and soothing effects, while biotin supports overall scalp and hair health.

For external topical use only—avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or allergic reaction occurs. Consult a healthcare provider if scalp condition persists despite regular use. Results may vary, and consistent application as directed is typically needed for optimal outcomes.
