Dandruff isn’t just “dry scalp.”
It’s a mix of yeast (Malassezia) overgrowth, excess sebum, and buildup that traps flakes and keeps the problem recurring.
Antifungals are the main treatment.
That’s why dermatologists prescribe ingredients like ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or climbazole - they directly target the yeast causing dandruff.
Exfoliation does NOT treat dandruff on its own.
But for some people, removing buildup and compact scales can make a huge difference.
Here’s why exfoliation helps when done correctly:
1. Reduces thick scale and dead skin buildup
2. Helps antifungal actives penetrate the scalp better
3. Normalizes cell turnover over time

⚠️ Important: exfoliation ≠ scrubbing.
Harsh physical scrubs, nails, brushes, strong acids, or exfoliating an already inflamed scalp can make dandruff worse. That’s damage, not treatment.
The approach that worked best for me:
Gentle exfoliation before wash (10–15 mins)
Followed by a proper antifungal shampoo
Focus on balancing the scalp, not attacking it
Dandruff isn’t about stripping your scalp.
It’s about removing what blocks treatment and letting the right actives do their job.
