Shampoo head and shoulders had been discussed in many acne blogs and acne forums.
There are so many controversial statements about use of head and shoulders shampoo as
possible way to treat bacne. I personally could understand people with acne, as myself fought
them for quite some time, that any positive feed back from other users
gives hope and confidence.
But, reviewing some of the latest posts from people who used the shampoo for bacne,
i came to undecided dilemma. First of all, i personally have never tried to use the head
and shoulder to fight my bacne so i don't really know how true most of the statements are.
But the temptation to find out, made me pick up and go. I went to the store today, just
out of curiosity, to find out more about head and shoulders.
There i was, reading labels and comparing the ingredients. After a while, i realized
that Head and Shoulders would not be my choice as a shampoo. Why? I don't like and i don't
believe in chemicals. And trust me, the head and shoulders shampoo has plenty of them,
100% chemicals to be precise. Not a single vitamin or mineral. I started wondering, what
can really help (if it ever does) to fight acne as some people say.
The Zinc pyrithione is the only one out of long list of ingredients which may in fact,
have positive effect on acne. The purpose of the Pyrithione Zink does not stop with only
anti-dandruff properties. Apparently, this ingredient also has antibacterial properties
and often used in treatments of psoriasis, eczema, ringworm, fungus, athletes foot, dry skin
and even atypical dermatitis.
So, there is a possibility that head and shoulders shampoo can be positively used as anti-acne
treatment. However, one must not forget that besides the Pyrithione Zink, the shampoo has more
than 20 other ingredients (chemicals, not natural ingredients), which can irritate the skin and worsen your acne. Among those are ammonium
laureth sulfate, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, sodium xelenesulfonat, cetil alcohol and more.
