Performance notes
Since this formula targets oily and flaky skin specifically, it's built to help regulate excess oil production and reduce visible flaking and odor over repeated use, rather than delivering a one-time deep clean. This isn't veterinary advice, so if dandruff or odor persists it's worth having a vet check for an underlying cause.
What buyers say
