Editorial Test: AREDERMA’s Innovative Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

Ukrainian biotechnologists have introduced an innovative development – the AREDERMA probiotic shampoo, which effectively combats dandruff and its root causes. I tested it over a month, and I want to share my impressions and evaluate the results.

I have dry, brittle hair that often looks tired, lacks shine, and gets tangled constantly. But my biggest problem was dandruff – it always spoiled my mood. I had been searching for a product that would actually help, and after just a few uses of the AREDERMA shampoo, I can say it has truly been a lifesaver!

The effect is noticeable very quickly. Hair feels clean, fresh, and well cared for, and the discomfort disappears. My strands are easy to comb through and look significantly stronger. This probiotic shampoo not only effectively eliminates dandruff but also prevents it from returning. And thanks to its gentle formula, it can be used daily.

What’s inside the AREDERMA Probiotic Shampoo?

The stars of the formula are the special, innovative, patented SPP microbiome protection® probiotic complex and the ingredient Octopirox®.

SPP microbiome protection® is a complex of Bacillus spp. probiotic bacteria that forms a protective biofilm on the scalp, reduces inflammation and itching, regulates sebum production, and helps restore the natural balance of the scalp.

Octopirox® is a component developed by Seborin (Schwarzkopf & Henkel), known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties. It actively combats the proliferation of yeast-like fungi, which are usually the main cause of dandruff and scalp flaking.

The shampoo also contains phytic acid and aloe vera, which stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, improve nourishment of hair follicles, and strengthen the hair.

The pH level of 4.5-5.5 is optimal and suitable for all scalp types, as it aligns with the skin’s natural pH.

Importantly, the AREDERMA probiotic shampoo contains no corticosteroids. This is a big plus, as their absence reduces the risk of side effects such as scalp dryness or hair loss.

How do probiotics work in the shampoo?

Restoring the microbiome
Probiotics help rebalance the scalp microbiome, supporting healthy interaction between beneficial and harmful bacteria. They suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that can cause dandruff, itching, or inflammation, improving overall scalp health and preventing discomfort.

Reducing irritation and inflammation
Probiotics produce bioactive substances with anti-inflammatory effects. They help soothe the scalp in cases of seborrheic dermatitis, atopic reactions, or excessive dryness, reducing irritation and inflammation.

Sebum regulation
Probiotic strains help normalize the activity of sebaceous glands, which is essential for those dealing with either excessive oiliness or dryness of the hair.

Protection from fungal infections and dandruff
Probiotics create an environment in which fungi that cause dandruff cannot actively thrive.

Hair strengthening
Probiotics improve scalp health and strengthen hair roots, stimulating healthy growth and reducing hair loss.

Maintaining optimal hydration
Probiotics promote the production of beneficial fatty acids and polysaccharides that help retain moisture, which noticeably improves the overall condition of the hair.

Impressions after using AREDERMA

After just one wash, you can feel a gentle yet deep cleanse. Within two weeks of use, I noticed a significant reduction in dandruff, and the irritation and flaking had nearly disappeared. My scalp felt healthier, without tightness or irritation. After washing, my hair looked vibrant, well-groomed, and light; it felt soft to the touch and stayed fresh longer. I’m very pleased with the results!

Texture and scent of AREDERMA

The shampoo has a pleasant, soft texture, lathers well, and rinses out easily. The scent is subtle – a light cosmetic freshness that quickly fades after drying.

Conclusion

AREDERMA’s probiotic shampoo is a real find for anyone struggling with dandruff and looking to get rid of it for good. I can firmly state: this product works! And a huge bonus is that, thanks to the very low concentration of the antifungal component Octopirox®, the shampoo is safe for frequent use – a rarity among anti-dandruff treatments.

I’m definitely keeping this shampoo in my care routine because it truly delivers results, offers lasting comfort, and, without exaggeration, improves quality of life.
Dandruff is no longer my problem! If it’s still yours, try AREDERMA – you won’t regret it.
