Hermon Folliculitis Shampoo for Itchy Scalp — 2% Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree & Biotin for Dandruff Relief

Hermon Folliculitis Shampoo is a dermatologist-informed cleansing formula that soothes itchy, flaky scalps while exfoliating and nourishing roots for healthier-looking hair.

This lightweight shampoo combines targeted actives and botanical support to address common scalp complaints such as dandruff, seborrheic flaking and recurring follicle irritation. The formula centers on 2% salicylic acid to remove buildup, plus piroctone olamine, tea tree oil and biotin to balance the scalp environment and help maintain stronger-looking strands. It rinses clean without leaving greasiness and can be used regularly as part of a scalp-care routine.

How does this shampoo help reduce itch and visible flakes?

Hermon uses exfoliation and anti-irritant botanicals to calm the scalp surface and lift excess skin cells. Salicylic acid softens and clears flaky buildup, while tea tree oil provides a cooling sensation that many users find relieving.

• 2% salicylic acid helps dissolve dead skin and unclog follicles.
• Piroctone olamine supports a balanced scalp environment.
• Tea tree oil soothes and refreshes sensitive areas.
• Non-greasy formula rinses away flakes without heavy residue.

Will this shampoo support thinning or weak hair?

While designed primarily for scalp health, Hermon also includes ingredients aimed at nourishing roots and improving the appearance of fullness. Biotin, niacinamide and herbal extracts work together to condition the scalp and help hair look thicker and more resilient.

• Biotin nourishes the scalp and contributes to healthier-looking roots.
• Niacinamide helps maintain scalp moisture balance and strength.
• Ginseng and rosemary provide plant-based support for hair vitality.
• Regular use helps hair appear fuller without weighing it down.

How should I use it and how often is it safe?

Apply to wet hair, massage gently into the scalp to create a lather, leave for a short pause if desired, then rinse thoroughly. Because of the exfoliating salicylic acid, most users find 2–3 times per week effective; adjust frequency based on scalp response.

• Use 2–3 times weekly or as part of your regular deep-cleansing routine.
• Massage thoroughly to target follicles and rinse completely.
• Follow with a conditioner if hair needs extra moisture on lengths.
• Discontinue if irritation occurs and consult a professional if needed.

Is this safe for sensitive or recurring scalp conditions?

Hermon’s formula is informed by dermatological principles and blends proven actives with gentle botanicals to support sensitive scalps. It’s crafted to reduce surface buildup and irritation, but individual sensitivity varies, so patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Dermatologist-informed ingredient selection aims to be gentle yet effective.
• Lightweight texture minimizes heavy residue that can irritate skin.
• Contains cooling and calming botanicals to help reduce discomfort.
• Not a substitute for prescribed medical treatments—consult your clinician for severe conditions.

Who this product is for: Hermon Folliculitis Shampoo suits people dealing with persistent scalp flaking, itching or buildup who want a cleansing, non-greasy solution that also supports stronger-looking hair. It fits those seeking an exfoliating shampoo with botanical support—ideal for anyone adding a targeted scalp treatment to a weekly haircare regimen, especially if thinning, oily buildup or recurring irritation are concerns.
