Arata Anti-Dandruff Serum (Tonic) for Women and Men | With Glycolic Acid & Piroctone Olamine | Up to 100% Dandruff Reduction | Reduces Flaking & Itching - 100ml

Ans. The AD tonic is meant to work as an intensive leave-on treatment for severe dandruff. It contains Glycolic Acid, which exfoliates flakes and buildup for a clearer scalp. Piroctone Olamine targets the root cause of dandruff thanks to it’s anti-fungal properties, and Cutibiome CLR helps restore the natural microbiome of your scalp.

Ans.

Dandruff is typically caused by excess sebum and an overgrowth of a fungus called Malassezia. This fungus causes large, oily flakes that may appear yellowish or white, and stick to the scalp. You might also notice itching and inflammation.

A dry scalp on the other hand is when the scalp does not produce enough sebum, leading to moisture loss and itching. This is characterized by small, dry, white flakes that easily fall from the scalp and hair. 

Treatment will differ depending on your condition. Anti-dandruff products that contain anti-fungals will work well for dandruff caused by an oily scalp, while using scalp-soothing ingredients will work well for flaking due to a dry scalp. The Arata Anti Dandruff range helps tackle both, thanks to a formula that’s enriched with Piroctone Olamine (an antifungal), and Cutibiome CLR (to balance the scalp’s microbiome and soothe the scalp).

Ans. This tonic should be used twice or thrice a week. If you have a sensitive scalp, we recommend starting slow by using it only once a week. We don’t recommend using it daily, since it contains Glycolic Acid, which can lead to over-exfoliation if used too often. On the days you’re not using the tonic, you can use the Arata AD Shampoo to maintain a clean and dandruff-free scalp.

Ans. The tonic should be left on overnight - this gives the actives enough time to absorb deeply and work on the root cause of your dandruff.

Ans. The tonic should be applied to a clean and dry scalp.

Ans. The tonic is designed to be applied directly to the scalp, and you should avoid your strands during application.

Ans. You’ll notice a visible reduction in dandruff and itching from the first use itself - but remember, consistency is key. You must continue to use the product frequently in order to fully keep dandruff at bay.

Ans. Yes, the tonic is suitable and safe for all scalp types - whether oily, dry or sensitive.

Ans. The Arata Anti Dandruff tonic is sulphate and sodium-chloride-free, the two most common ingredients that can strip coloured or chemically treated hair. This allows the tonic to be hard on dandruff, but easy on treated strands.

Ans. No, dandruff cannot be cured permanently since it is a recurring condition caused by a microbe that's always present on the scalp. However, you can reduce the flaking and itchiness with proper treatment and hair care habits. The Arata Anti Dandruff tonic will let you enjoy up to 100% reduction in flakes and itching, but you need to invest time in consistent usage to help you maintain these results.

Ans. In addition to using an anti-dandruff treatment, you must invest in a hair care routine that helps you maintain a healthy scalp environment. Whether that’s using a scalp massager to clear up flakes and buildup, or ensuring you don’t go to bed with wet hair - small habits can help you manage your dandruff more effectively. Dandruff-prone scalps need to be washed more frequently, so don’t be scared of shampooing 3-4 times a week - preferably with the Arata Anti Dandruff Shampoo. Avoid oiling your scalp, since dandruff-causing fungus feeds on oil and sebum, leading to worsening of symptoms. For severe dandruff, pair the Anti Dandruff Tonic with the Anti Dandruff Shampoo for best results.

Ans. Children usually have a more sensitive scalp than adults, so we would not recommend this tonic for kids. It contains exfoliating ingredients like Glycolic Acid, which can be too strong for their skin. Instead, we recommend you use the Arata AD Shampoo if your child suffers from dandruff. And if your child has persistent dandruff or scalp issues, it is best to consult a dermatologist.

Ans. It's always best to consult with your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before using any new products during pregnancy. This is because most actives, whether that’s in our product, or other products in the market, have limited research on their safety during pregnancy.

Ans. Yes, we recommend a patch test, particularly for sensitive skin, since the tonic contains exfoliating acids.

Ans. All Arata products are cruelty free and vegan, including the Anti-Dandruff Tonic.

Product colour may change over time due to the use of natural ingredients, but the efficacy remains unaffected. We recommend a patch test, particularly for sensitive skin. For external use only. Use as directed for best results. Avoid contact with eyes. If the product comes in contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation develops and persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.
