Max Control Shampoo
A calmer, healthier scalp starts here.
Four dermatologist-selected actives in one shampoo — designed to relieve persistent flaking, soothe scalp irritation, and restore balance from the very first wash.
You've tried everything.
The flakes keep coming back.
Drugstore shampoos can quiet the symptoms for a few days — but the itching returns, the flakes reappear, and the cycle starts over. That's because most products only treat what's visible on the surface.
The Cycle That Never Ends
Flaking slows down, you feel hopeful — then a week later it's back. Over-the-counter formulas treat symptoms temporarily without addressing the underlying scalp imbalance that drives the cycle.
Hidden Beneath the Surface
The real cause is microscopic — a yeast called Malassezia that lives on every scalp. When it overgrows, it triggers inflammation, itching, and visible flakes. Most shampoos can’t reach it.
One Active Isn’t Enough
Drugstore shampoos rely on a single ingredient at low concentrations. Persistent scalp conditions involve multiple issues happening at once — yeast, inflammation, and scale build-up all need to be addressed together.
Your scalp needs a more thoughtful approach.
Four actives, working in concert
Each ingredient targets a different layer of the problem. Together, they form a complete scalp-care system in a single shampoo — developed by dermatologists who specialize in scalp conditions.
Ciclopirox Olamine
1%The primary defense against Malassezia yeast — the organism responsible for most scalp flaking. Disrupts the yeast’s cell membrane, reducing fungal load and restoring a balanced scalp environment.
Controls the root cause of flakingZinc Pyrithione
1%Works alongside Ciclopirox to suppress yeast growth and support a healthier scalp microbiome. Clinically proven as a first-line defense in scalp care.
Reinforces long-term scalp balanceFluocinonide
0.05%A targeted topical steroid that calms the inflammation cycle, reduces redness, and directly suppresses the itch — so relief begins quickly.
Soothes irritation and stops the itchSalicylic Acid
2%A beta-hydroxy acid that dissolves the layer of scale and build-up that blocks treatment. Keeps the scalp clear so the other actives can penetrate more effectively.
Clears the way for deeper absorptionOne formula. Four mechanisms of action.
Formulated to work together — not just individually.
How to use Max Control
A simple routine that fits into your existing hair care practice. Use 2-3 times per week for best results.
Apply to wet hair
Work the shampoo into your scalp thoroughly, focusing on areas with the most flaking or itching.
Let it sit 5-10 minutes
This gives the active ingredients time to penetrate and work. If you use it less than once a week, aim for 10 minutes.
Rinse and style as usual
Rinse completely. You can use your own shampoo and conditioner before or after applying.
