Ducray Kelual Squanorm Oily Dandruff Shampoo

Regulating Treatment Shampoo for Oily Dandruff

Effectively eliminates oily dandruff while helping rebalance the scalp and reduce recurrence

Ducray Kelual Squanorm Oily Dandruff Shampoo is a dermatologically developed treatment shampoo specifically formulated for oily dandruff, excess sebum, and itchy, flaky scalps. Suitable for adults and teenagers from 12 years of age, this advanced shampoo combines cleansing, sebum-regulating and anti-dandruff properties to help restore a healthier scalp environment from the very first washes.

Inspired by the long-lasting balancing effects of probiotics, this innovative formula incorporates Probiotic-Science technology, designed to help rebalance the scalp microbiome, one of the key factors involved in dandruff recurrence. Alongside carefully selected active ingredients, it helps remove visible dandruff, reduce excess oil, soothe irritation, and leave the hair feeling clean, light, and refreshed.

Unlike conventional anti-dandruff shampoos that focus solely on removing flakes, Kelual Squanorm Oily Dandruff Shampoo addresses the underlying scalp imbalance that contributes to persistent oily dandruff, helping minimise recurrence while respecting the scalp’s natural barrier.

What Is Oily Dandruff?

Oily dandruff develops on seborrhoeic scalps, where excess sebum creates an environment that favours the proliferation of naturally occurring Malassezia yeasts. In susceptible individuals, this imbalance can trigger inflammation, accelerate epidermal turnover and lead to the formation of large, yellowish, adherent flakes that often remain attached to the scalp and hair.

Common symptoms include:

• Visible yellow or white flakes
• Oily scalp
• Persistent itching
• Scalp discomfort
• Hair that quickly becomes greasy
• Redness or irritation in some individuals

Although dandruff is not caused by poor hygiene, it is often recurrent and requires an appropriate scalp care routine to keep symptoms under control.

How Does Ducray Kelual Squanorm Oily Dandruff Shampoo Work?

This shampoo has been formulated to provide multiple complementary actions that target the different mechanisms involved in oily dandruff.

Its formula helps to:

• Eliminate visible oily dandruff
• Reduce excess sebum from the scalp
• Purify and cleanse without over-drying
• Relieve itching and discomfort
• Help rebalance the scalp microbiome
• Reduce the likelihood of dandruff returning
• Leave hair feeling soft, light and easy to manage

According to clinical evaluations performed by the brand, the formula demonstrated:

• Elimination of visible dandruff after the first applications*
• Immediate reduction in scalp sebum*
• Anti-recurrence effectiveness for up to 2 months when used as recommended**

*Based on consumer and clinical evaluations conducted by the manufacturer.
**Maintenance protocol following the intensive phase.

Probiotic-Science Technology: A New Generation of Anti-Dandruff Care

One of the distinguishing features of Kelual Squanorm is its Probiotic-Science technology. Rather than introducing live probiotics, this approach is inspired by the mechanisms through which probiotics help maintain microbial balance. The objective is to support a healthier scalp ecosystem, helping limit the conditions that encourage dandruff recurrence.

Current dermatological understanding recognises that scalp health depends on the balance between:

• Sebum production
• Skin barrier integrity
• Microbial flora
• Inflammatory response

When these elements become unbalanced, dandruff often persists despite repeated cleansing. By helping restore this equilibrium, Kelual Squanorm offers a more comprehensive approach to long-term scalp care.

Key Ingredients & How They Work

Monolaurin

Monolaurin is recognised for its sebum-regulating properties. By helping reduce excessive sebum production, it creates a less favourable environment for the proliferation of Malassezia yeasts associated with oily dandruff.

Benefits include:

• Helps control oiliness
• Contributes to a fresher scalp
• Supports long-term dandruff management

Bisabolol

Bisabolol is a soothing active ingredient widely used in dermatological skincare.

It helps:

• Calm scalp irritation
• Reduce sensations of discomfort
• Minimise visible redness
• Improve scalp comfort during treatment

This makes the shampoo suitable for scalps experiencing itching associated with oily dandruff.

Texture & Sensory Experience

Kelual Squanorm creates a pleasant cleansing foam that effectively removes excess oil and impurities while respecting the scalp. After rinsing, the hair feels clean, fresh, light, soft, and more manageable, with improved natural volume. Unlike some intensive anti-dandruff treatments, the formula is designed to leave the hair comfortable without creating an overly stripped sensation.

Who Is This Shampoo Suitable For?

Ducray Kelual Squanorm Oily Dandruff Shampoo is recommended for:

• Oily dandruff
• Oily scalp
• Flaking associated with excess sebum
• Itchy scalp caused by dandruff
• Adults and teenagers aged 12 years and over
• Individuals looking for a long-term anti-dandruff maintenance solution

When Should You Seek Medical Advice?

Although cosmetic anti-dandruff shampoos are highly effective for most cases of oily dandruff, persistent or severe symptoms may require dermatological assessment.

Consider consulting a healthcare professional if you experience:

• Thick yellow scales accompanied by marked redness
• Intense or persistent itching
• Widespread inflammation
• Symptoms affecting the face, eyebrows or ears
• Lack of improvement despite appropriate treatment

These signs may indicate seborrhoeic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition that may require specific medical treatment.

Where Does This Product Fit into Your Haircare Routine?

This shampoo replaces your regular shampoo during the treatment period.

• Intensive phase: Use 3 times per week for 2 weeks
• Maintenance phase: Continue once weekly, alternating with a gentle shampoo suitable for frequent use, or as advised by your healthcare professional.

How to Use

• Apply to wet hair and scalp.
• Gently massage until a lather forms.
• Rinse thoroughly.
• Reapply.
• Leave on for 2–3 minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly.

Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Products That Complement This Routine

To maximise scalp comfort and maintain long-term balance, Kelual Squanorm Oily Dandruff Shampoo can be alternated with a gentle shampoo suitable for frequent use from the Ducray haircare range, according to your scalp’s needs.

If your scalp becomes more comfortable after the intensive phase, maintaining a consistent scalp care routine can help reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

LYSkin Expert Tip

Many people believe dandruff is simply caused by not washing their hair often enough. In reality, oily dandruff results from a complex interaction between excess sebum production, the scalp microbiome and individual susceptibility. Washing more frequently with unsuitable shampoos can sometimes worsen irritation or trigger rebound oiliness.

Choosing a treatment shampoo specifically formulated for oily dandruff—and following the recommended treatment schedule—is often more effective than simply increasing washing frequency.
