FAQ Section

1. What is Scruples Clearet Dandruff & Deodorizing Shampoo and what does it do?
This is a professional medicated shampoo formulated with 1% Pyrithione Zinc, the active ingredient that helps eliminate and prevent the flaking and itching associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis . Its deodorizing properties help eliminate unpleasant odors, keeping hair smelling fresh all day .

2. Is this shampoo suitable for all hair types?
Yes, the Clearet Shampoo is formulated to gently cleanse and remove buildup from all hair types . It is particularly recommended for fine hair but works effectively on normal, thick, and oily hair types as well .

3. Does it have a medicated smell?
No. Unlike many dandruff shampoos that have a strong medicinal odor, users consistently report that Clearet has a pleasant, fresh shampoo scent . An expert dermatologist notes it is described as "unscented," meaning it lacks the chemical or sulfurous smell common in many dandruff treatments .

4. What are the key ingredients and botanical extracts?
Beyond the active ingredient (Pyrithione Zinc), the formula includes PBX Protective Barrier Complex with Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans and Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein to strengthen hair. It also contains soothing organic extracts: Honey (Mel) Extract, Lavender Extract, Sunflower Extract, and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract .

5. How often should I use it?
For best results, use at least twice a week or as directed by a doctor . For maximum dandruff control, you can use it every time you shampoo . An expert recommends using it 2-3 times per week to keep dandruff at bay .

6. What is the pH level of this shampoo?
The Clearet shampoo has a pH of 6.4, which is on the acidic side . This is below the alkaline threshold of 7.0, making it better for the scalp's natural acid mantle and gentler on hair fibers than many other anti-dandruff shampoos .

7. How do I apply it for best results?
Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp, creating a rich, soothing lather. Shampoo and rinse thoroughly . For maximum effectiveness, allow the lather to remain on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing to let the pyrithione zinc work.

8. Is this product effective for scalp conditions other than dandruff?
Yes. In addition to treating dandruff, the active ingredient Pyrithione Zinc is antibacterial and helps calm symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and itchy scalp without disrupting the natural acid mantle . The soothing botanical extracts help with general scalp sensitivity .

9. Does it contain sulfates?
Yes, the formula contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate as a cleansing agent . However, the pH-balanced formula (6.4) helps offset the stripping potential of sulfates, making it gentler on the scalp .

10. Are Scruples products cruelty-free?
Scruples is a professional brand that is dedicated to professional-grade, cruelty-free formulations . They have been manufacturing salon-exclusive professional products since 1983 and are now part of Beauty Elite Group, headquartered in Houston, Texas.
