🩺 Clinical
CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Conditioner is a liquid conditioner applied topically to the scalp and hair. It contains pyrithione zinc, an ingredient commonly used in anti-dandruff products to help reduce flaking and itching associated with dandruff. This product is an over-the-counter monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under FDA's established rule-book for anti-dandruff shampoos and conditioners rather than as an individually reviewed new drug application.
