Rida Hair Research Institute Psoriasis Shampoo 3% Salicylic Acid – Medicated Scalp Treatment for Flakes & Color‑Safe Care

RHRI Psoriasis Shampoo is a 3% salicylic acid scalp treatment formulated to lift thick scales, reduce visible flaking, and soothe irritated scalps while protecting colored hair.

This medicated shampoo from Rida Hair Research Institute combines a high-strength keratolytic with calming botanicals to help manage symptoms associated with scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and persistent dandruff. The formula aims to loosen and remove stubborn dead skin and residue, while Manuka honey, tea tree oil and vitamin E add moisture and comfort so hair doesn’t feel stripped after washing. Free from sulfates, dyes and parabens, it’s designed for use by anyone seeking targeted scalp care without sacrificing hair color or softness.

How does 3% salicylic acid improve a flaky, scaly scalp?

Salicylic acid at 3% works as a keratolytic, softening and separating dead skin cells so they can rinse away instead of clinging as patches or scales. Regular use helps reduce visible buildup and makes follow-up treatments or topical products more effective.

• Breaks down hardened scales for easier removal
• Reduces visible flaking and buildup on the scalp
• Prepares scalp for other topical therapies if used

Will this shampoo dry out my hair or fade color?

The RHRI formula balances active salicylic acid with Manuka honey, tea tree oil and vitamin E to soothe and hydrate during cleansing. It avoids sulfates, artificial dyes and parabens so color-treated hair stays vibrant and strands remain softer than with many medicated shampoos.

• Sulfate-free cleansing that preserves hair color
• Hydrating ingredients reduce tight, brittle feeling
• Suitable for curly, fine, thick and colored hair types

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Use at least twice weekly, or as your healthcare provider recommends, to help control visible scaling and itching. Massage into wet hair and scalp, leave on the affected area for a short contact time to let the salicylic acid work, then rinse thoroughly; repeat if needed for heavy buildup.

• Apply to wet scalp, lather and leave for a few minutes
• Rinse completely and repeat only if necessary
• Use regularly (e.g., twice weekly) for maintenance

Is this product suitable for everyone in the household?

This shampoo is formulated for adults and teens seeking relief from scalp flaking and scaling; it’s unisex and gentle enough for frequent use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have other scalp conditions, check with a healthcare professional before starting a medicated regimen.

• Unisex formula for men and women
• Works on a variety of hair textures and thicknesses
• Consult a doctor if you have other medical concerns

Who is this for: RHRI Psoriasis Shampoo with 3% salicylic acid is made for people dealing with persistent scalp scaling, flaking or itching who want a stronger, targeted wash that still protects hair color and moisture. It’s a practical choice for those willing to use a medicated cleanser regularly and who prefer plant-derived calming ingredients alongside active exfoliation.
