Berk's blends three commonly used medicated actives—0.5% coal tar, 3% salicylic acid, and 1.5% sulfur—in a single 8 fl oz bottle to help break down visible flaking, reduce scalp scaling, and relieve itchiness commonly associated with dandruff when used according to directions. The formula emphasizes performance over fragrance, so you may notice a medicinal scent during lathering that dissipates after rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this shampoo approach stubborn dandruff differently?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of relying on a single active, Berk's uses a complementary trio of ingredients that address different aspects of flaky scalp. Coal tar can slow excess skin cell production, salicylic acid helps loosen and remove scales, and sulfur can have a drying or keratolytic effect to reduce visible flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoal tar 0.5% to help control scalp cell turnover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSalicylic acid 3% to exfoliate and shed built-up scales.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSulfur 1.5% to assist in reducing flaking and scaling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for ongoing use as part of a maintenance routine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen and how should I use it for best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse this medicated shampoo as directed on the label, typically a few times per week until you see improvement, then as needed to maintain control.

If you have delicate scalp skin, are unsure about interactions with other treatments, or experience severe symptoms, check with a healthcare professional before starting any new medicated regimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How often should I use Berk's medicated shampoo?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Use as directed on the label, often several times weekly until improvement, then as needed for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this with my regular conditioner?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
