Psoriasis Treatment Shampoo: 5 Options

Finding shampoos that work in your haircare routine can be difficult. From my experience, some products just don’t do me justice and leave my scalp and hair feeling more dry. Finding a psoriasis treatment shampoo can be even more challenging with different types of conditions.

Psoriasis is a skin disorder that causes thick, flaky, and often itchy patches of skin, often caused by cuts, infections, or stress. Your immune system responds and rapidly grows skin cells that are red and inflamed. One of my closest relatives suffers from psoriasis, and I have seen firsthand the stress, trauma, discomfort and embarrassment this condition causes people. We’ve narrowed down some top products that can help combat psoriasis.

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo

Tea tree oil is known to be an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. Lathering this in your scalp daily can reduce the redness and flares of the skin. It helps remove the dry and dead skin cells and softens the outer layer of the skin. This reduces itching and helps control the overproduction of the inflamed cells.

Phillip Kingsley Flaky Itchy Scalp Shampoo

Flaky scalp can also be associated with psoriasis conditions. Controlling the oils that the scalp produces while adding moisture is essential. This product is known to reduce the amount of flaking with just a few washes.

Aveda Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo

This shampoo is known for reducing the amount of sebum in your hair and reducing the oiliness of the scalp. This helps treat seborrheic dermatitis, which has many similar features to psoriasis. Not only does this shampoo lock in moisture, but it controls the oils so it doesn’t irritate the skin that is affected with psoriasis.

Paraben-Free Scalp Activating Shampoo by Sebamed

This paraben-free shampoo is balanced at 5.5 pH, the pH of healthy hair and scalp. Soap can be harsh to sensitive skin and be damaging and drying. Psoriasis can often cause hair loss due to constant itching. This product helps combat hair loss and produces thicker-looking hair.

Extreme Dry Skin Relief Shampoo by Sebamed

This shampoo includes urea, which helps peel away dead and dry skin. Psoriasis forms a dry, red layer, and this shampoo removes dry layers and moisturizes the scalp. It is proven to provide intense hydration and is formulated at the healthy level of 5.5 pH.
