Product Insights
Stieprox Intensive Shampoo is a specialized cosmetic hair care product developed to provide clarifying support for scalps experiencing severe flaking and itching. When the scalp environment becomes deeply unbalanced, it can lead to stubborn buildup and intense discomfort. This intensive formulation helps clear away adhering flakes and restores a feeling of calm and cleanliness to the hair root area.
The efficacy of this shampoo relies on a high 1.5% concentration of the active ingredient Ciclopirox Olamine (CPO). This targeted compound helps manage the underlying causes of a stressed scalp, assisting in the removal of persistent flakes during washing. Furthermore, it incorporates a built-in conditioner to ensure that the hair is not left dry or tangled, allowing for easy combing after use.
Designed for periodic, intensive use, this 100 ml shampoo offers a powerful, dual-action approach to clarifying the scalp while simultaneously caring for the hair lengths.
