DERMAdoctor Tranquility 2% Pyrithione Zinc Cleanser — 7.1 fl oz Soap-Free, Fragrance-Free for Face, Scalp & Body

This lightweight, milky cleanser was formulated to combine a potent antifungal-active level with a gentle delivery so you can use it on face, scalp and body without the stripping feel of traditional medicated shampoos. It is free of fragrance and dyes, suitable for most adults and children ages two and up, and intended for routine use as part of a targeted regimen. Expect to use it at least twice weekly and allow several weeks to assess improvement.

How does this cleanser differ from regular dandruff shampoos?

Unlike many over-the-counter dandruff shampoos that have lower active concentrations or are designed mainly for scalp use, this cleanser provides the maximum 2% pyrithione zinc allowed without a prescription in a soap-free base formulated for facial and body skin. The texture and rinse feel are milder, so it's less likely to leave skin tight or dry.

• Contains 2% pyrithione zinc — the highest OTC concentration available.
• Soap-free, milky formulation to minimize dryness and irritation.
• Designed to be used on face, scalp, and other affected body areas.
• Fragrance- and dye-free for sensitive skin tolerability.

How should I use Tranquility Cleanser for best results?

Apply to wet skin or scalp, massage to create a gentle lather, then rinse thoroughly. For visible flakes or redness, use at least twice weekly; more frequent use may be recommended by your clinician. Consistent use over several weeks gives a clearer picture of effectiveness.

• Wet the area, dispense a small amount, massage gently until lather forms.
• Leave on affected areas briefly if advised, then rinse completely.
• Use minimum twice weekly; maintain regular routine for 2–4 weeks to evaluate improvement.
• Safe for use on face, hairline, chest, ears, beard and scalp when used as directed.

Is it safe for sensitive skin, pregnancy, or children?

The formula avoids fragrance and dyes and is soap-free, which supports better tolerance for sensitive skin. It has been reviewed for use during pregnancy and lactation, and is labeled for ages two and older; however, consult a healthcare professional for children under two or if you have specific pregnancy or nursing concerns.

• Fragrance- and dye-free to reduce irritation potential.
• Suitable for ages 2+; consult a physician for children under two.
• Reviewed for pregnancy and lactation use—ask your clinician if unsure.
• Dermatologist-formulated with tolerability in mind.

What results can I expect and how soon?

Pyrithione zinc targets the microbe-related factors linked with seborrheic dermatitis, aiming to reduce flaking and soothe redness over time. Individual responses vary; many users report noticeable improvement with consistent use over the course of a few weeks, but a full assessment typically requires at least 2–4 weeks.

• Targets factors associated with flaking and redness rather than only masking symptoms.
• Expect to use for multiple weeks before judging full benefit.
• Integrates into a daily or several-times-weekly skin care routine.
• Follow-up with your clinician if irritation or no improvement occurs.

Who this is for: DERMAdoctor Tranquility Cleanser is intended for people seeking a single medicated wash to manage flaky, red or irritated areas across face, scalp and body without the harshness of traditional medicated shampoos.
