This mask blends anti-fungal piroctone olamine with salicylic acid for gentle chemical exfoliation, plus green tea extract rich in antioxidants. Piroctone olamine helps control yeast populations associated with dandruff, salicylic acid loosens and softens dead skin cells, and antioxidant extracts support scalp comfort and barrier resilience. 

Who this suits

Ideal for dry, flaky, itchy scalps where mild to moderate dandruff is a concern and traditional shampoos leave irritation unresolved. Useful when you want a focused, weekly scalp treatment to complement routine cleansing. 

Who should avoid it

Not appropriate for severely inflamed, broken or medically diagnosed scalp conditions that require prescription care; those cases should be managed with clinician-directed therapies first. People with known sensitivity to exfoliating acids or antifungal actives should patch test before use. 

How to use it properly

Dampen the scalp, apply the mask directly in partings, and spread gently across the scalp surface. Leave to absorb for about 10–20 minutes, then rinse and shampoo as usual. One tube is typically sufficient for a full scalp application, and weekly use is recommended to maintain comfort and reduce flakes but the product can be used biweekly or monthy to suit symptoms. 

Verdict

This is not a medical treatment for scalp disease, but it is an effective weekly, bi weekly or monthly step for calming irritation and addressing flaky build-up at the surface. The combination of antifungal, exfoliating and antioxidant ingredients can help reset the scalp environment and make your routine cleansers and serums more effective when used together.
