If your scalp stays irritated or flaky even after anti-dandruff shampoos, your barrier needs daily support. Ducray Elution is your between-treatment shampoo, gentle enough for every wash yet targeted enough to keep flakes from returning. Your scalp gets real, dermatologist-formulated care, not just a temporary fix.

Key Benefits

  • Prolongs anti-dandruff results: Extends the effect of treatment shampoos between uses.
  • Soothes scalp irritation: Glycine calms redness and discomfort with every wash.
  • Targets fungal imbalance: Piroctone olamine reduces the scalp imbalance that triggers flakes.
  • Strengthens fragile hair: Panthenol (vitamin B5) nourishes each strand from root to tip.
  • Safe for color-treated hair: Clinically shown to respect hair color in 94% of users.
  • Gentle enough for daily use: Mild formula replaces your regular shampoo without stripping your scalp.

Key Ingredients

Piroctone Olamine: An antifungal active that targets the scalp imbalance behind recurring flakes, helping keep dandruff from coming back. Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Penetrates the hair shaft to strengthen fragile strands and add softness. Glycine: An amino acid that calms scalp irritation and supports the skin barrier with each wash. Glycerin: Draws moisture into the scalp, keeping it comfortable and balanced. Zinc Glycinate: Helps regulate scalp conditions that contribute to flaking and sensitivity.

How to Use

Wet your hair thoroughly with warm water. Apply a generous amount to your scalp and massage gently for one to two minutes, working the lather from roots to lengths. Rinse completely. Use daily as your regular shampoo, or alternate with your anti-dandruff treatment shampoo to maintain results between sessions. No need to leave on, just lather and rinse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Elution every day instead of my regular shampoo?

Yes, Ducray Elution is formulated for daily use. Its mild surfactant blend cleanses without stripping your scalp barrier, making it a suitable full-time replacement for your regular shampoo or a gentle complement between anti-dandruff washes.

Is Ducray Elution safe for color-treated or highlighted hair?

Yes, Ducray Elution is clinically shown to respect hair color in 94% of users after two weeks of use. Its gentle formula is suitable for chemically treated, highlighted, or color-processed hair without accelerating fade.

How does Elution differ from Ducray Kelual DS shampoo?

Ducray Kelual DS is an intensive treatment shampoo for active dandruff flare-ups. Elution is a gentle daily shampoo designed to maintain results after treatment and soothe sensitive scalps, not to replace a targeted anti-dandruff formula during a flare.

Does this shampoo contain retinol or salicylic acid?

No, Ducray Elution contains neither retinol nor salicylic acid. Its formula relies on piroctone olamine, glycine, and panthenol, making it a gentler option suitable for sensitive scalps and daily use without irritating active ingredients.
