Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo uses ketoconazole, which board-certified dermatologist Doctorly says is "really unmatched" for treating dandruff. He explains it helps with both the androgenic and inflammatory aspects of hair loss, a combination no other ingredient replicates. This is a targeted medicated shampoo, not a general cleanser, best for dandruff-related scalp issues.
