Clear Men shampoos are well-known for their anti-dandruff efficacy. They often utilize active ingredients like Zinc Pyrithione and Climbazole (in some formulations) to help prevent and control the recurrence of itching and flaking associated with dandruff.
Many of their newer formulations incorporate a "Triple Anti-Dandruff Technology" or "Bio-Booster" which combines:
Dandruff Control: Effectively removes visible flakes and helps prevent recurrence.
Scalp Health: Addresses issues like itchiness, oiliness, and aims to strengthen the scalp's natural barrier.
Freshness and Cooling Sensation: Many variants, like "Cool Sport Menthol," provide an invigorating and cooling sensation due to ingredients like menthol.
Deep Cleansing: Helps to eliminate dirt, oil, and product buildup from the hair and scalp.
Nourishment: Formulations often include vitamins, minerals, and other nourishing ingredients to promote a healthier scalp environment and hair vitality.
Cool Sport Menthol: A best-seller known for its refreshing and cooling effect.
Deep Cleanse: Often formulated with activated charcoal for a more thorough purification of the scalp and hair, targeting pollution, dirt, and grease.
2-in-1 Complete Care: Shampoos that also include conditioning properties for added hair softness and manageability.
Anti-Hair Fall: Specific formulations designed to address hair fall by strengthening hair anchorage to the scalp, often containing technologies like Dynoxidil™ or Follilock™.
Cooling Itch Control: Designed specifically to soothe an itchy scalp.
