Back in high school, I started to get a dry itchy scalp when the winter months would roll around. Looking back, it was probably because it is notoriously cold and dry in the part of the country I live in between the months of December and March. This dryness took it's toll on me and I developed dry scalp as a result. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't go out in public, but it was just enough to occasionally get embarrassed by having flakes on my shoulders. Gross, I know! So after trying a bunch of different treatment options, I decided to give Selsun Blue a shot. I saw the commercial and figured, "Hey, what do I have to loose?".
So finally I was at the store one day and decided to purchase a bottle of Selsun Blue. There were a few to choose from. One looked to be a regular bottle, but then I noticed another with moisturizer, and another that claimed to be the "maximum medicated control". Naturally, I went with the bottle that claimed to be the best and highest level of control and medication. After one use, I noticed the difference! It was absolutely amazing to me since I had tried so many other products, with little success.
The active ingredients that make the difference are menthol and an anti-dandruff chemical called Selenium Sulfide (1%). You can immediately smell the menthol when you open the cap and begin to apply it. It smells great and opens up the nostrils! I noticed that the shampoo is a dark green color that looked like it would stain the bottom of my shower, but it didn't. It's completely safe and loses it's green hue once it's applied and worked into the scalp.
I am too the point now where I don't even use it everyday anymore. It works that good! I use it every other day or every 3 days. I have had no problems or recurrence of dandruff or dry/itchy scalp. If you truly have a problem with dry scalp and dandruff, please try Selsun Blue Medicated. It really worked wonders for me and has given me the freedom of wearing whatever I want and not having to worry about having flakes. It has given me piece of mind, and you can't put a price on that.
