What Experts Say

Salicylic acid belongs to a group of ingredients called keratolytics, which work by softening and loosening the outer layer of dead skin cells on the scalp. This makes it easier for flakes and scale associated with dandruff to lift away naturally during washing instead of building up over time.

Marigold, also known as calendula, has long been used in skin care for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Combined with salicylic acid in a treatment shampoo, it helps offset any dryness or mild irritation the exfoliating action might otherwise cause on a sensitive scalp.

Dermatologists usually recommend using a medicated shampoo like this two to three times a week rather than daily, since overuse can dry out the scalp and worsen flaking. Most people notice fewer visible flakes and less itching within two to four weeks of consistent, regular use.
