Dermazen Calming Seborrheic Serum for Flaky, Itchy Skin | Steroid-Free, Dermatologist-Tested | Visibly Reduces Flaking & Soothes Itch | Malassezia-Safe | Scalp, Face & Body | 4 fl oz

This is the absolute only thing that really worked for my seborrheic dermatitis. It INSTANTLY stopped the itching and the flaking literally disappeared immediately. I was a little skeptical because of the price but I will pay it if it gets me some normalcy back of my scalp. Highly recommended. Highly!

Does exactly as it says. Calms your scalp and primes it for washing. Tacky so I only use it several hours before shampooing.

Ive been dealing with a dermatitis rash for three years. It's been in a constant state of flux between awful and not quite so bad as awful. It started on my face and quickly started appearing on back of neck, neck, chest, and back. After seeing a dermatologist and being misdiagnosed to the point of making it so much worse, I was quickly giving up hope and my mental well being was becoming more and more despondent. I started researching on my own and eventually came to find this brand. I started with the moisturizer. It made such an impact I then purchased the serum to go with it. Again, results were so promising even after one application. I then purchased the face wash and im now heading over to grab the body wash. This stuff is spendy but its quality and results have been unmatched for me. Im finally starting to see the light at the end of a long perilous and mentally challenging journey.

In 2020 I was out hiking in northern California and managed to get poison oak all over my face. I was prescribed a steroid that absolutely destroyed the apparently delicate balance of yeast and bacteria that lives on all our faces, and since then, I've been battling "fungal acne" (actually called malassezia folliculitis, as it's more of a yeast overgrowth than acne). Unfortunately, once malassezia gets bad enough it creates a defense barrier called a "biofilm"on top of itself, making it difficult for anti-fungal treatments to reach. I found out about this digging deep into the archives of Simple Skin Care Science, a website I *highly* recommend for anyone struggling with skin issues, or looking to have nicer skin in general. The author and owner of the website suggests checking any products you buy for fungus-feeding ingredients on the website "Sezia", where you can enter the ingredients list, and it will tell you if any ingredients are likely to worsen the yeast infection. On the Sezia website, I found a page called "BEST SKINCARE FOR MALASSEZIA" and on that page, Dermazen was recommended as a product to help fight the biofilm. Well, I can confirm - Dermazen most definitely destroyed the biofilm on my face. It did not eradicate the malassezia, but by dissolving the biofilm, it made it possible for some of the antifungals to finally penetrate and reduce some of the yeast overgrowth. It also HYDRATES incredibly well - if I want my skin to look plump and beautiful, I can put a few drops of this on before bed and my skin looks incredible in the morning. I can't express how grateful I am for that, as my fungal infection is still very much active (the longer you have a fungal infection, your body develops resistance to antifungals, which is the stage I'm at) and as a result, I can't risk wearing makeup which would feed the yeast further. But truly, my skin has never looked better, unless you look really, really close - and then you can see the fungal infection which up close, looks like my face is covered in tiny blackheads/clogged pores. This product gave me hope, and although I'm still struggling to battle the yeast, the hydration it provides has allowed me to start using Differin, an extremely drying product that my rosacea normally can't tolerate. Every ingredient in this formula is excellent - I've used most of them separately (ie. niacinamide, HLA) or in other formulas, and I can say the team here has done something really special. I'm bummed that it's been going up in price because I need this for medical reasons, and haven't found anything as good. My only bit of feedback is I'd prefer a dropper - the way the top is, you have to dump the bottle upside down over your face, which is a bit awkward and it's hard to keep it from rolling off your face, as one hand is holding the bottle. I put mine in a smaller bottle with a dropper, which makes it easier to control how much comes out. Finally, I have to add - the packaging (aside from the top) is a 10/10 for me. It's the nicest label I've seen on a skincare product. Minimalist, spa-like and makes my bathroom look more peaceful. The print of the label is high-quality and even has sparkles in it.

It took about a week to start working. And once it did I was astonished, up until that point I had found nothing natural that would ease the constant itching and the flaky buildup. After using the chemical laden dandruff shampoos since childhood (now in my 30's), and trying over and over again to "train" my oily hair per many hair experts recommendations. I was always just left with hair that was oily, itchy, and flaky everyday. And in recent years it seems my poor scalp condition and constant itching had led to hair loss. As my sheding was very excessive to the point that my hair was looking very thin. After using now for a little over 3 months I can say that I absolutely love this stuff. It really havls changed my life and brought back my hair confidence, after the first week being successful with the serum I ordered the shampoo, and wow my scalp got even better. The shampoo helps to thoroughly cleanse my scalp and the built up oils without drying me out. I do still produce excess oil but now my hair doesn't look like a gross greesy mess by the end of the work day like it used to, it doesn't look overly greesy until the next morning just in time for another shower. While being the cool girl that only has to wash her hair once a week may never be in the cards for me, I'm more than happy to just have a scalp that isn't itchy, flaky, irritated, and even painfull. And I'm happy to report my hair is growing back! I throughly enjoy the strong herbal scents of the serum and shampoo, and the short list of recognizable ingredients is so incredibly amazing, it makes my crunchy heart very happy. I cannot recommend this product enough. In fact I just found out that my cousin has been struggling to treat cradle cap on her 4 year old, and was using a drug store dandruff shampoo, I turned her on to Dermazen and she was very intrigued based on the clean simple ingredients, and the success I had seen myself. For real please never go out of business or sell out to a giant corporation because it will literally crush me.
