Product Info
A gentle shampoo for a sensitive scalp
Healthy skin has a pH of 4.5 to 5.5, making it slightly acidic. This natural acidity protects your skin from harmful bacteria and other substances, so when this balance is disturbed – for example, by heat, cold, diseases, cosmetics or stress – a sensitive scalp can result. Eucerin DermoCapillaire pH5 MILD SHAMPOO is specifically designed to maintain your skin’s natural pH level, and effectively cleanses your scalp and hair to prevent dryness and irritation. It washes away dirt, pollen and allergens, and gives your hair a healthy shine and a soft, supple feeling.
