E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo 200ml — Medicated Shampoo for Dry, Flaky & Itchy Scalp

E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo is a dermatological shampoo formulated specifically for dry, itchy, flaking and irritated scalp conditions — including dry scalp, seborrhoeic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis. It contains zinc pyrithione — a proven antifungal and antibacterial agent that targets the Malassezia yeast associated with dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis — in a gentle, pH-balanced shampoo base suitable for regular use.

From E45 — one of Ireland's most trusted dermatological brands — E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo is a pharmacist recommendation for those whose scalp conditions do not respond adequately to standard anti-dandruff shampoos.

How to Use

Wet hair thoroughly. Apply a generous amount of shampoo and massage into the scalp. Leave for 3–5 minutes — do not rinse immediately. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Repeat if required. Use twice weekly for best results during active treatment. Can be used as often as daily for maintenance once symptoms improve. Follow with a standard conditioner on the lengths if desired.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes — rinse immediately with water if contact occurs. Not recommended for children under 12. Always read the label before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between dry scalp and dandruff?

Dry scalp produces small, fine, dry, powdery flakes — often accompanied by a tight or itchy feeling — caused by insufficient moisture in the scalp skin. It is more common in people with dry skin generally and in cold, dry weather. Dandruff (seborrhoeic dermatitis) produces larger, oily flakes, often yellowish, and is caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast on the scalp. Both can cause itching and flaking, but the treatment approach differs. E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo with zinc pyrithione addresses both conditions as it is both a gentle moisturising shampoo and an antifungal — making it effective regardless of the underlying cause.

Can I use E45 Dry Scalp Shampoo every day?

Yes, with regular use. During active flaking and itching, use twice weekly with a 3–5 minute contact time for best results. As symptoms improve, daily use as a maintenance shampoo is appropriate. It is gentle enough for regular use as a primary shampoo for those with ongoing scalp conditions.
