Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the scalp lipids and TEWL in dandruff subjects treated by 1% Selenium Disulfide (SeS2)/1% salicylic acid-based shampoo after an antidandruff treatment and after a remanence phase

Detailed Description
Dandruf often has a substantial negative impact on quality of life. The proliferation of Malassezia specie has been shown to be linked to dandruff. Yet, the sebum is essential for the growth of Malassezia restricta.
The sebum is mainly constituted by waxes, squalene and triglycerides. The triglycerides are partially transformed in free fatty acids while the squalene can be oxidized. Therefore, the change in lipids can be of interest for dandruff studies.
The scalp barrier function of a dandruff scalp is known to be altered and must recover after an antidandruff treatment
The aim of this study is to investigate the change of the scalp lipids and TEWL after a 1% selenium disulfide and 1% salicylic acid antidandruff shampoo on dandruff scalp and after a remanence period

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluate the change of squame quantity during the antidandruff treatment [1 month]
squame level clinical scoring evaluation (adherent squame, non-adherent squame and total squame).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Evaluate the change in scalp barrier function and lipids (glycerides, free fatty acids, squalene and peroxidized squalene) after the antidandruff treatment [1 month]
Trans epidermal barrier by instrumental evaluation and lipids by chromatography
- Evaluation of the scalp barrier function [1 month]
The evaluation of the scalp barrier function was done by Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) measurement.
