Piractomin Anti-Dandruff Shampoo | Lupin Life Scalp Care

Product Overview

Piractomin is a medicated shampoo formulated to target the root cause of dandruff—typically a fungus called Malassezia—while remaining gentle enough for regular scalp care.

Key Features

• Active Ingredient: Usually contains Piroctone Olamine, a powerful antifungal and antibacterial agent that is often considered a gentler alternative to Ketoconazole.

   

• Dual Action: It doesn’t just wash away flakes; it helps regulate sebum (oil) production and reduces the inflammation that causes redness.

   

• Scalp Health: Specifically formulated by Lupin Life to maintain the pH balance of the scalp, preventing dryness and irritation.

Benefits & Performance

How to Use for Best Results

To get the most out of a medicated shampoo like Piractomin, the application technique is just as important as the ingredients:

1. Wet Hair: Thoroughly wet your hair and scalp with lukewarm water.

2. Massage: Apply an adequate amount and massage it into the scalp specifically (don’t worry too much about the ends of your hair).

3. The “Wait” Rule: Leave the lather on your scalp for 2 to 3 minutes. This allows the active ingredients to actually penetrate the skin.

4. Rinse: Wash out thoroughly.

5. Frequency: Usually recommended 2–3 times a week, or as directed by a dermatologist.

Note: While Piroctone Olamine is generally well-tolerated, if you have an extremely sensitive scalp or open sores from scratching, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test first.
