Most shampoos just clean hair. This one treats the scalp underneath it: zinc PCA and piroctone olamine regulate sebum production and calm itching and flaking, while lime and bamboo extracts gently exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate microcirculation as you wash.

Genuinely suitable for ongoing preventative care around seborrhea and seborrheic dermatitis, not just cosmetic dandruff. Panthenol and glycerin keep the formula from feeling stripping despite the active-ingredient load.

  • Deeply cleanses hair and scalp
  • Eliminates dandruff, flaking, and itching
  • Regulates sebaceous gland activity
  • Removes styling product residue
  • Suitable for preventative care around seborrhea and seborrheic dermatitis
  • Sulfate, paraben and silicone-free
  • Zinc PCA & Piroctone Olamine — A dedicated anti-dandruff complex that regulates sebum production and calms itching and flaking.
  • Bamboo & lime extracts — Gently exfoliate the scalp and support microcirculation while cleansing.
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) — Softens and conditions, keeping the formula from feeling stripping.
  • Chamomile & rosemary extracts — Soothe the scalp and support overall comfort.

Completely worth the price, cleans oily hair well, adds shine and volume, gets rid of itching. No cons. Excellent shampoo, suited me, washed my oily hair brilliantly! People say it's drying, but for me it actually hydrated my hair.

Hair stays clean for a really long time after washing. On my second bottle now, my daughter and I both love it. Thank you to the seller for a quality product.

Thick, foams well. Also used the Extra range before, thinner but I really liked how my hair looked after it. I prefer the Extra range

Yana Z. 3/5 Verified

Balance Shampoo

Genuinely balances the scalp. Very thick, so you use less each time too. Only downside is the scent, a bit old-fashioned, but that's a silly reason to dock a star.

Smells great, thick, foams well. Unfortunately it just didn't suit my hair.

Karina K. 5/5 Verified

Balance Shampoo

Great shampoo, effect from the first use. Been dealing with this problem for ages, anything that helped never lasted. After this shampoo the effect is perfect after the third use. Hair still looks fine right up to the next wash. Honestly the best thing we've tried for my husband's hair.

Nice and thick shampoo. Foams well, you only need a drop, like washing-up liquid. I usually wash my hair every day, but with this one it's every other day. Definitely recommend buying.
