Anti-dandruff ingredients

Manufacturers use a number of ingredients in dandruff shampoos. The following table lists these ingredients and how they work to minimize dandruff.

  • Coal tar - Coal tar helps reduce skin scaling and the overgrowth of skin cells that lead to dandruff.
  • Ketoconazole - This antifungal agent helps kill the Malassezia fungus that irritates oil glands and can lead to dandruff.
  • Salicylic acid - This beta hydroxy acid keeps skin cells from sticking together and can help remove scaly skin cells.
  • Salicylic acid and sulfur - Adding sulfur to salicylic acid helps further reduce skin cell buildup. Sulfur also has antimicrobial activity.
  • Selenium sulfide - This antimicrobial agent also helps slow skin cell turnover and scaling as well as reduce yeast growth.
  • Zinc pyrithione - Also known as ZPT or ZnPT, this ingredient helps heal the scalp by reducing yeast growth, excess oil production, and overproduction of skin cells that can lead to dandruff flakes.
As you can see, there are lots of different dandruff shampoo ingredients. Certain ingredients may work well for some people, but not so well for others.

From Jail Cell to Stem Cell Review

By Dr Frank Yap, MD

FREE Documentary – From Jail Cell to Stem Cell: The Next Con For the Ex-Con Documentary This lengthy (nearly 2 hours) documentary exposes a racketeering scheme and the fact a group selling stem cell treatments were selling a dead product. It was found through testing that stem cells do not survive the sterilization process. In this film they discuss treatments derived from the birthing process (amniotic fluid, tissue, cells, cord blood – retrieved after delivery and packaged as ‘regenerative medicine.’) The natural medicine industry is seduced by ex-cons, adulterated by fake docuseries, and physicians exaggerate their credentials and hurt their patients all in an effort to make money before the FDA can catch up with them. This film is rated PG-13 by the MPA. To see documentary: https://vimeo.com/441451575# (This documentary may not be free forever. Do view it as soon as possible) From Jail Cell to Stem Cell Review: Is the docuseries being fair to suggest that the forum’s ties t

This post is about finding the right dermatologist for your skin problem in Malaysia. If you have a skin related problem, you're likely to start by seeing your family or primary care doctor. But in some cases, you may be referred to a skin specialist (dermatologist).  With tons of low quality self-help e-books out there on skin disease treatment for acne, eczema, psoriasis etc., I am not surprised if you are confused and over-whelmed with treatment information or rather mis-information i.e. recommendations from Facebook friends, neighbors, emails, forum recommendations, search engine results etc. Before you buy a suspicious skin care product with 'too good to be true claims', do a quick check on Google. Use the product name as the search keywords and also add verification words like scam, hoax etc. It's time to seek professional help before things get worse. If you are worried that a visit to a private dermatologist is expensive, try to see one in the governme

If this is your first time visiting a skin specialist in Kuala Lumpur, it can be frustrating to decide who is a good skin specialist in Kuala Lumpur to see. While there isn't always an exact formula to that decision making process, we have short-listed a few skin specialists in KL to get you started. There are many review sites that provide a list of skin specialists and rank them according to their own methods. However, those reviews may not be objective, and that ratings may not be statistically valid. Though the sites are trying to make the ranking objective, the reviews are a listing of opinions and should be judged as such. Therefore, do take those reviews and rankings with a grain of salt. We have shortlisted the specialists and their clinics according to their online presence i.e. Google search results and information available on blogs, public forums and related sites from the internet.
