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.
