Our prescription shampoo goes deeper—relieving itch and flakes when nothing else works.
Nearly half of the US population deals with an itchy or flaky scalp — and the usual fixes don't cut it. Over-the-counter remedies are expensive and rarely work, and even off-the-shelf prescriptions from an in-person dermatologist fall short.
Dr. Beasley and Dr. Ritchie drew on 20+ years of combined dermatology experience to build something different. Allura is the only place to get custom-compounded prescription treatments for itchy, flaky scalps — formulated to your specific needs, prescribed by board-certified dermatologists, and shipped straight to your door. No waiting room. No months-long appointment queue.
Real Results from Real Patients
Thousands of people have found relief with a personalized Allura treatment plan.
“I’ve had seborrheic dermatitis for years and nothing really helped. Allura recommended the Essential Solution and it has been a total game changer. Flakiness and irritation faded within just a few uses.”
“The quiz recommended the perfect combo for me. I finally have something that actually controls my chronic scalp condition. Highly recommend for anyone who’s tried OTC treatments without success.”
“Easy process, fast shipping, and most importantly — it works. My scalp feels so much better and I’m not embarrassed about flakes on my shoulders anymore.”

Board-certified derm consultation included
A board-certified dermatologist reviews your intake, prescribes your formula, and is reachable by message — at no extra cost.
