Tricoderm Nr.15 Neutral is a professional trichological shampoo formulated for the gentle yet effective cleansing of ultra-sensitive, irritated and imbalanced scalps. Thanks to its neutral and minimal formulation, it is ideally suited for frequent and daily use, including situations where the scalp’s barrier function is compromised or the skin is reactive. The shampoo’s gentle active cleansing agents effectively remove impurities and excess sebum without disturbing the scalp’s pH level, preserving the epidermis’ natural hydrolipidic protective barrier. This helps reduce the risk of irritation, itching and dryness while supporting scalp recovery and stabilisation. Regular and protocol-based use helps create an optimal micro-environment on the scalp, which is essential for healthy hair-follicle function and the maintenance of high-quality hair growth. Tricoderm Nr.15 Neutral is also suitable for use after intensive trichological or dermatological procedures, when it is important to avoid additional irritation and maintain the scalp’s physiological balance.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Suitable for sensitive, irritated, dry, reactive and post-procedure scalps during the maintenance phase following active treatment. It also provides a neutral and gentle daily cleansing for the scalp and hair during post-treatment trichological care programmes.
HOW TO USE
Apply a small amount of shampoo to wet hair and scalp. Gently massage with a scalp brush or fingertips until an even lather forms, then rinse thoroughly. Repeat the cleansing process (double cleansing is always recommended) during the second wash, allow the shampoo to act on the scalp for 2 - 3 minutes, then rinse carefully. Suitable for frequent and daily use and for combination with other Tricoderm care protocols.
WHY SHOULD THE HAIR BE WASHED 2 - 3 TIMES?
This is not a cosmetic habit, but a trichological treatment protocol. Effective scalp care and therapeutic results are achieved only when cleansing and active-ingredient absorption occur in the correct sequence.
First wash = Cleansing phase. The scalp is covered with sebum, sweat, dandruff, microbial biofilm, air pollution, silicones and styling-product residues. These form a barrier that prevents active ingredients from reaching the skin. The purpose of the first wash is to remove this surface layer and prepare the scalp for treatment.
Second wash = Active treatment phase. Once surface impurities and sebum have been removed, the shampoo’s active ingredients can penetrate into the epidermis and hair follicles. Therefore the second wash must be left on the scalp for 2 - 3 minutes, this is the so-called pharmacological contact time, during which active substances can exert their biological and therapeutic effects.
Third wash = deep protocol (if necessary). A third wash is required when the scalp is very oily, severe dandruff, seborrhoea or hyperkeratosis is present, or when heavy use of styling products has created a biofilm on the scalp. The third wash ensures that follicles are fully open, inflammatory residues are removed, and the scalp is therapeutically clean and maximally receptive to active ingredients.
SUMMARY
1. First wash = Cleansing.
2. Second wash = Treatment.
3. Third wash (if needed) = Deep protocol.
This is why trichological shampoos such as Tricoderm, Pharma Hermetic, Mediceuticals, Bao-Med function not only as cleansers but as true therapeutic scalp-care products.
GOOD TO KNOW - One 250ml bottle lasts approximately 3 - 4 months, depending on washing frequency.
