Saliblu Anti Dandruff Shampoo

Description
Saliblu Anti Dandruff Shampoo is a medicated shampoo that contains Salicylic acid. It is used for the treatment of various skin disorders of the scalp such as psoriasis, dryness, flaking, scaly skin, itching, dandruff, etc. Saliblu Anti Dandruff Shampoo works by unclogging the pores of the skin from dirt and sebum. It also softens and loosens the dry, scaly, or thickened skin that leads to the shedding of the outer layer of the skin. This kills microbes and repairs the damaged skin. Saliblu Anti Dandruff Shampoo may cause some side effects like redness at the site of application, burning or irritation of the scalp. If any of these side effects do not resolve with time or worsen, consult your doctor. Avoid contact with your eyes and nose. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid using this shampoo if you are allergic to it. Saliblu Anti Dandruff Shampoo is meant for external use only. Apply the recommended quantity to the scalp and gently massage. Allow it to sit on the scalp for 2 minutes before rinsing it off. Use it on a regular basis to get its maximum benefits.
