Product Description

Ketostar Ketoconazole & Zinc Pyrithione Anti-Dandruff Lotion 50ml is a medicated anti-dandruff scalp cleanser formulated to help manage persistent dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and scalp itching. The advanced formulation combines Ketoconazole IP 2% w/v and Zinc Pyrithione (ZPTO) 1% w/v with a conditioning base to provide effective dandruff control while keeping hair soft and manageable.

Ketoconazole is a clinically established antifungal agent that helps inhibit the growth of Malassezia yeast, one of the leading causes of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. Zinc Pyrithione complements this action by helping reduce scalp flaking, itching and irritation while supporting a balanced scalp environment.

Unlike ordinary shampoos, Ketostar contains a conditioner that helps minimize dryness after cleansing, making it suitable for regular dandruff care. The lotion effectively removes excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells while reducing visible flakes and improving scalp comfort.

According to the product label, wet the hair and scalp thoroughly before applying a sufficient quantity of the lotion. Massage gently for about one minute to produce a rich lather and rinse with warm water. Repeat the application and massage for an additional 2–3 minutes before rinsing thoroughly and drying the hair. The recommended usage is twice weekly for four weeks, followed by once weekly as maintenance therapy or as directed by your healthcare professional.

With regular use, Ketostar Anti-Dandruff Lotion helps reduce dandruff recurrence, relieve itching, improve scalp hygiene and support healthier-looking hair. Individual results may vary depending on the severity of the scalp condition and treatment consistency.

For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. Discontinue use if irritation develops. Store in a cool, dry place protected from heat and light and keep out of reach of children.
