Dermatologist FAQs

Q2: What makes this scalp cleanser different from standard anti-dandruff or psoriasis shampoos?
A: Unlike standard over-the-counter cleansers, Tinefcon® Scalp Cleanser is backed by a patented, clinically validated phytoactive compound. It combines scalp-calming ingredients like Glycerin, Aloe Vera, and Wheat Protein with targeted cytokine modulation, making it a disease-specific formulation rather than a general-purpose shampoo.
