Hi,
Product buildup, dirt, pollution & sweat really freak out my sensitive scalp. If not taken care, scalp may develop fungal infection in these circumstances. I make sure to use a shampoo containing Ketoconazole whenever I feel bit discomfort on my scalp or atleast once in 2-3 weeks I use such shampoo as a clarifying shampoo. I do not suffer from dandruff issues, but during summer/monsoon, my scalp generally feels bit itchy. Ketomac Anti Dandruff shampoo contains 2% Ketoconazole which is helpful in calming down my scalp. Let me walk you through the effectiveness & other features of this anti dandruff shampoo today.
Ketomac Dandruff Treatment Shampoo
This is basically an anti dandruff shampoo with Ketoconzole as it’s main ingredient. It controls flaking, scaling & itching. Ketomac’s superior action clears dandruff & helps to maintain a clear scalp. It can be used on colored hair too.
Ketoconzole – It is an antifungal medication that fights infections caused by fungus. It prevents growth of several types of fungi by preventing production of the membranes that surround fungal cells

Ingredients
Ketoconazole 2% & Shampoo base.
Packaging
Ketomac Anti dandruff shampoo comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a rust colored flip top cap. The outer packaging is white & red themed. The shampoo has a cheesy tag line as “Balon ko awaragi karne do“. Information about the product like ingredients, how to use, price etc are printed on the outer as well as on the shampoo bottle.
Fragrance & Texture
The fragrance of Ketomac shampoo is chemically sweet. The smell is not pungent but is quite noticeable. Texture wise the shampoo is gel based & quite runny. In the bottle, the shampoo looks bit of orangish, otherwise it is mostly clear with orangish hue. It lathers very well upon mixing with water.
How To Use?
The shampoo is supposed to be applied on wet hair and left on scalp for about 5 minutes before rinsing it with water.
To control dandruff, the shampoo must be used twice a week for 4 weeks or until scalp clears. After that use the shampoo once a week to keep the scalp clear.
To control itchiness, use the shampoo whenever you your scalp feels discomfort. Use it once in every 2-3 week to ensure scalp stays free of fungal infection if you scalp is prone to develop one.
My Experience
This is a strong shampoo since it contains a heavy chemical. It dries out hair & hence I would not suggest to use it more than twice a week even if you have heavy dandruff issues. To balance out things, this is what I do. I do not apply it on my hair. I apply this shampoo only on my scalp on crown area and leave it there only for 2-3 minutes before rinsing it out with water. Then I follow up with a moisturizing/mild shampoo to clean my hair. I never skip using a nice moisturizing conditioner/hair masque.
My hubby has dandruff issues, and he too uses this shampoo to control this problem. He uses this shampoo once or twice a week, but never experienced any kind of hair fall problem. Coming to the dandruff treatment, it clears his scalp upto 80-90% which he considers a significant result.
