Sebum Regulating Line
For oily scalps and dull weighed down hair, which can lead to thinning. From trichologist recommended brand CRLab.
Tired of greasy hair the day after washing?
CRLab’s Sebum Regulating line has been formulated to better combat seborrhea and help the scalp to get rid f the presence of oily dandruff. Sebum is essential for the protection and correct metabolism of our hair and scalp system, but in excess it can lead to some serious problems. In some cases, sebaceous hyperproduction can be associated with thinning of the hair.
Clinical Efficacy Tests:
After 6 weeks of treatment, there was a reduction in redness, flaking, and vascular dilation of the scalp, with a concrete clinical improvement in 100% of subjects. The subjective symptoms (itching and unpleasant odor) associated with seborrheic dermatitis have been reduced or eliminated across the board.
The Problem? too much oil
Seborrhea is a scalp anomaly that occurs with an increase of sebaceous glands production and/or with an alteration in the quantity of sebum produced, due to the intervention of endogenous factors such as hormonal changes, digestive or psychosomatic disorders. The resulting unpleasant greasy scalp, in some cases, can lead to hair loss.
Causes of seborrhea:
1. Excessive Sebum Production
2. Altered Sebum Quality
3. Localized Micro-Inflammation
4. Abnormal Levels of Malassezia Furfur
Oily dandruff is characterized by yellowish and thick dandruff scales, due to the presence of excess sebum. The itching on the scalp is intense, and can drive hair loss.
The Solution:
The CRLab Sebum Regulating line normalizes the sebaceous secretion and helps to remove impurities and the excess of sebum on the scalp. This helps to restore physiological balance and maintain a healthy scalp flora. The line also provies the right nourishment for the hair bulbs, encouraging new growth. Climbazole and Piroctone alamine combat the presence of dandruff.
Our blend of powerful actives target the primary sources causing sebum overload by working to:
1. Regulate Sebum Secretion
2. Purify and Tone Scalp
3. Selective sebum cleansing
4. Increase Antioxidant Activity
5. Soothe the scalp
6. Reduce Itching
7. 5α-Reductase Inhibition
