Shampoo Showdown: ketoconazole vs. selenium sulfide tested for flake relief

In the ever-lingering battle against scalp irritation and unsightly flakes, thePipeline observes a familiar stand-off: the knights of ketoconazole versus the seasoned pikemen of selenium sulfide. Seeking common ground (and relief from the meeting points!), four heavy-hitters entered the arena in this corner's "Shampoo Showdown". While all bore the anticlimactic label "anti-dandruff," headlineslike CeraVe quickly drew attention to snippets of active ketoconazole, followed swiftly by the clarion call of selenium sulfide shining from Head & Shoulders, setting them into direct opposition. Nizoral brought its own potent ketoconazole contingent to the field, along with an unexpected confederate: a saponified conditioner, naturally. Meanwhile, the less renowned paraben-free path traversed by Head & Shoulders' almond-infused troops offered a different tactical approach. Join us as we dissect the strategic maneuvers, side effects, and ultimate battlefield performance of these four contenders, to determine which one truly emerges victorious in the elusive quest for flake disappearance and scalp serenity.
