Dandruff is a common hair concern that affects approximately 50% of the global population at some point, yet we still don’t talk about it openly. Despite its prevalence, many people experience some level of embarrassment about their flaky scalp.
You’ve likely seen shelves full of dandruff shampoos at the supermarket, and you may be among the 60% of those with dandruff who avoid this aisle. The reason is simple: Traditional dandruff shampoos don’t do any favors for the hair. Many say these products leave their hair feeling dry, looking dull, smelling unpleasant and more prone to tangles. In addition, many who have tried these dandruff products say results don’t last.
Just a reminder that the scalp is skin. As the leader in dermatological beauty and hair care, Vichy is proud to introduce the Dercos collection, which treats your scalp the same way you treat your skin. Already a global leader in scalp care (and available for the first time in the United States), Dercos is an effective, long-lasting solution for dandruff and a luxurious, color-safe hair care experience that leaves hair looking shiny, soft and hydrated.

Step one of the Vichy Dercos routine provides highly effective relief from dandruff and itch while eliminating up to 100% of visible flakes. Formulated with 0.6% micronized selenium sulfide to fight mild-to-severe dandruff across the entire scalp, this shampoo also helps prevent the recurrence of dandruff and itch.
This nourishing color-safe dandruff shampoo also features skin care ingredients just for the scalp. Niacinamide is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, and the addition of glycerin delivers much-needed hydration to the scalp.
Suitable for any hair type (including color-treated hair) or scalp type (including dandruff-prone, flaky and sensitive scalp types), Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo also provides hair-health benefits such as two times less breakage, 70% more moisture and 78% more shine.

Vichy Dercos dandruff conditioner is specifically designed to moisturize, strengthen and restore the hair and scalp after using Dercos Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. Formulated with soothing niacinamide and hydrating glycerin plus hyaluronic acid to help the scalp retain moisture, it also increases moisture by 40%, shine by 66% and smoothness by 67% while strengthening hair for ten times less breakage.

You can treat dandruff and balance the scalp in between washes (and up to four times a day) with this lightweight, non-greasy, leave-in serum. It treats five symptoms of dandruff: flakes, scales, itching, redness and scalp irritation. Each application also leaves sensitive scalps feeling soothed, refreshed and hydrated.
This treatment’s key ingredient for removing excess flakes from the scalp between washes is salicylic acid, the same ingredient commonly used for gently exfoliating the skin. The formula also features glycerin for hair and scalp hydration along with soothing madecassoside, derived from the Centella asiatica plant.
Remember, these three Dercos products work together to improve symptoms of dandruff and balance the scalp while leaving the hair looking and feeling its best. With Vichy’s Dercos range, your scalp and strands will both be well taken care of.
