Hi Guys,
How have you been?Long time since I posted a review.Off late,I am facing dandruff and it is not one easy skin/hair issue to treat.So Priyanka suggested I try pharmacy treatment shampoos as they work best for dandruff.So today I will be reviewing Cipla 8X Anti-Dandruff Shampoo.
Key Ingredients:
Ciclopirox-1.0% w/v
Zinc Pyrithione(ZPTO)-1.0% w/v
Aloe vera.
Shampoo Base-q.s
Colour:Brilliant Blue FCF.
Price:
Rs.205 for 100ml.
Availability:
1)To buy on ClickOnCare.com ,Click HERE.
Product Description & Swatch:
Pro's:
1)It is creamy green colour shampoo which cleanses well.
2)It contains Ciclopirox and Zinc Pyrithione(ZPTO) which are the star ingredients of this shampoo.Both are anti-fungal/anti-bacterial and keratolytic agents which treats dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis.
3)It does Aloe vera for extra hair conditioning.
4)It works on mild/moderate/severe dandruff.
5)It also decreases itching,flakiness and redness caused due to dandruff.
7)Affordable and easily available.
Con's:
1)The fragrance is not exactly pleasant,that's the case with most treatment shampoos.It does not bother me though.
2)It can make hair bit dry so following up with a conditioner is advisable.
3)Bigger tubes are not available.
4)No full ingredient disclosure so cannot comment if it is sls-free or paraben-free.
Directions for use:
1)Wet your hair and cleanse it like a regular shampoo.
2)Take 1ml for short hair/2ml for long hair and gently massage on scalp and hair.
3)Leave it for 3 minutes.
4)Rinse off with water.
5)Follow up with a hair conditioner if necessary.
Final Verdict:
I had moderate dandruff and itchy scalp.Some times it would be awkward with the flakes on shirts,pillows.The normal cosmetic dandruff shampoos available in the market like All Clear,Head & Shoulders didn't help me much so I needed a proper and strong treatment shampoo like Cipla 8X.I am happy to say that,my dandruff has cleared up in about 4-5 weeks.Initially you might not see much effect again that depends on the severity of dandruff but my advise,don't give up.This shampoo really works.I still use it once a week to prevent dandruff along with Dove Shampoo & Conditioner.If you suffer from dandruff then you too should definitely check it out.Like the other Cipla products, 8X shampoo also delivers!
My Rating:4/5
