VICHY Dercos Salicylic Acid Scalp Treatment, 3 oz — lightweight serum for sensitive scalps

VICHY Dercos Salicylic Acid Anti-Dandruff Scalp Treatment is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that exfoliates flakes, hydrates the scalp, and soothes irritation from first use.

Designed by dermatologists and formulated for sensitive scalps, this 3 oz scalp serum combines salicylic acid with glycerin and madecassoside to target the visible signs of dandruff—flakes, scales, itching, redness and general discomfort—while keeping the scalp moisturized. The non-greasy texture absorbs quickly and can be used on clean or unwashed hair for flexible, all-day relief.

How does this serum remove flakes without drying the scalp?

The formula uses salicylic acid to gently exfoliate excess dead skin and loosen visible flakes, while glycerin restores moisture so the scalp doesn’t become dehydrated. Madecassoside adds soothing support to reduce sensitivity during the exfoliation process.

• Salicylic acid gently breaks down flaky buildup.
• Glycerin attracts and locks in moisture for balanced skin.
• Madecassoside calms redness and reduces irritation risk.

When and how should I apply the VICHY scalp treatment?

Apply the serum up to four times daily or follow your dermatologist’s instructions. Massage a small amount directly onto the scalp—no rinsing needed—so the active ingredients can work between washes and provide ongoing comfort.

• Use on clean or unwashed hair for convenience.
• Massage gently into targeted areas or across the whole scalp.
• Can be applied multiple times daily depending on need.

Will this product work for sensitive or reactive scalps?

VICHY Dercos was developed with dermatologists to suit sensitive scalps; the combination of soothing madecassoside and hydrating glycerin minimizes irritation while addressing dandruff signs. Clinical design and gentle application help make it suitable for many users who find harsher treatments aggravating.

• Formulated for sensitive skin types and tested by dermatologists.
• Non-greasy, fast-absorbing serum reduces discomfort quickly.
• Supports the scalp barrier rather than stripping natural oils.

How does this serum fit into a complete dandruff routine?

Use the serum alongside targeted cleansers and conditioners for longer-lasting results. Pairing it with VICHY Dercos selenium sulfide shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner creates a three-step approach: cleanse, treat, and hydrate to reduce recurrence of flakes and irritation.

• Start with a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo to cleanse.
• Apply the serum for focused exfoliation and symptom relief.
• Finish with a hydrating conditioner to maintain moisture balance.

Who is this for: This VICHY Dercos scalp serum is intended for anyone experiencing visible dandruff, scalp flaking, itching, redness or mild irritation who wants a dermatologist-formulated, non-greasy treatment. It’s particularly useful for people with sensitive scalps seeking an exfoliating solution that also hydrates and soothes. If you have severe scalp conditions, consult your dermatologist for personalized guidance before use.
