- Q
I recently bought this shampoo from Ulta and it listed the Pyrithione Zinc at 1.5%. The shampoo has worked wonders for my scalp in the last few days so I went to buy a large size bottle and I see that some bottles list the Pyrithione Zinc as 1% while others say 1.5%. Has the strength of the active ingredient been decreased in newer bottles? And if so, why would you do that!?
- Asked by L
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageIt was relaunched this year with 1% Pyrithione Zinc as opposed to 2% in the previous formula.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Someone recently asked if you changed the formula (see previous Q&A below). You responded "no, only the packaging about 2 years ago." But you absolutely did change it - along WITH the new packaging. The list of ingredients literally changed, removing some of the minerals, adding a different thickener, moving sodium chloride up to near top of the list. Even the medication content increased by 50%. So, I'll ask the same question & maybe the second time will be the charm: Did you change the formula?
- Asked by Rome
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngagePer the Brand Manager- We made a regulatory change from 2% of ZPT to 1%. We had to adjust the formula because the regulation changed So it has less ZPT, which is the Pyrithione Zinc. We, as a company, have no control over the regulation of the % of this ingredient that can be used in OTC products. We recommend the addition of the Purifying Exfoliator to help control seborrheic dermatitis.Was this answer helpful to you

The Nioxin MEDICATED Shampoo is it safe to use on color treated hair? I have flakes and itchy scalp but I color my hair often..I want to check if the Medicated Shampoo will strip my color??
- Asked by Patricia
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageIt is not marketed as a color safe shampoo, however it is gentle on color treated hair. You may want to start with the scalp recovery soothing serum and see if that works for you. It is applied directly to the scalp 1-4 times a day as needed and many people love this product with the shampoo and conditioner or as a stand alone product.Was this answer helpful to you

This product really works
Two to three years ago I started having seasonal itchy dry scalp problems. Every winter as the air would start to get dry, the problem would worsen and become almost unbearable by January and February. My scalp was so itchy that it would become inflamed and even get small scabs in some places from m...

Truly Works!!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
This shampoo and conditioner truly works 100%. The only con is the small bottles are about 1/4 of the big bottle yet costs 1/2 what the big bottle does. Go with the big bottle!!
LIES
Relieves dandruff after one use? I dont think so. If anything this shampoo and conditoner, made my hair really dry, dandruff worse, and it had me shedding more then usual. No thanks, Nioxin.
Used to love it, its ok now!

This product is excellent in dealing with dry and flaking scalp issues.
Unfortunately, did not work. Made my hair an oily mess!
I was disappointed. Was searching for a cheaper alternative than my biolage shampoo and aveda scalp treatment. For me, this has been the worst shampoo I've ever used in my life. I've been using a month. My hair is just getting so oily each day that goes by. I wash 2 times a week and my hair is still greasy after, even if I wash twice with giant globs of shampoo! The shampoo is not cleansing, and my scalp's still flaky! Going back to my trusted biolage shampoo and aveda scalp dropper.
