Nizoral 1% and 2% ... For dandruff and hair loss? - Nizoral 2% Dandruff Shampoo - Epinions.com Join Epinions | Help | Sign In From treating my dandruff/dermatitis with products from drug stores i.e., Neutrogena T-Gel and Pantene Pro V Anti-Dandruff to topical tar treatments from my dermatologist, nothing in the past had worked to my satisfaction. It wasn't until I picked up a bottle of Nizoral 1% Anti-dandruff Shampoo that I found that there was actually a shampoo that could control my condition without a prescription. Note: If you want to read my experience with Nizoral 2% scroll to the bottom of the review. is an anti-dandruff shampoo that uses a patented ingredient known as ketoconaczole 1% (or you can get Nizoral 2% with a prescription) to help control flaking, itching, scaling, etc., on the scalp/skin. According to a few publications, studies have suggested that Nizoral A-D 1% and Nizoral 2% may also help re-grow hair in both men and women by reducing the amount dihydrotestosterone AKA DHT on the scalp. The Nizoral company, however, does not make this claim. Nizoral A-D Ketoconazole 1% can be purchased in a 4 oz. plastic bottle and usually lasts me about 3 months when using twice per week on my hair, scalp, and face. One should note that the makers of Nizoral recommend that you use this product twice every week for the first four weeks of treatment or until your dandruff is cured, then once every week thereafter to prevent dandruff.
