To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the top OTC dandruff treatments. Consideration must be given to:

  • Head & Shoulders Shampoo
    Procter & Gamble
    “OTC dandruff products are more for maintenance rather than active treatment, which is why many consumers and patients become frustrated with their use. I recommend to soak [this product] on the scalp skin (not hair) for 5 minutes 2 to 3 times per week.”—Adam Friedman, MD, Washington, DC
  • Moroccanoil Treatment
    Moroccanoil
    “I think it’s great to actually put [this product] directly onto the scalp after shampooing to get any remaining scales off.”—Anthony M. Rossi, MD, New York, New York
  • Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Hair Care
    Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc
