When should Pouxit Flash be used to treat lice and nits?
Pouxit Flash Anti-Louse & Nit Spray Lotion is a treatment designed to eliminate parasites from the scalp in adults and children ages 2 and up. Have you spotted lice in your child’s hair? This lotion works against lice and nits in just 5 minutes, with a short application time that makes it easier to treat young children.
Its new formula contains 99.4% dimethicone. It works physically by suffocating the lice and preventing the development and hatching of nits—the eggs attached to the hair. This mechanism allows for treatment without neurotoxic insecticides, without affecting the parasite’s nervous system.
The manufacturer claims 100% effectiveness against lice and nits after a single 5-minute application, as measured in in vitro tests conducted at the TECNALIA laboratory in May and June 2025. These results reflect laboratory conditions: at home, careful application and following the instructions are essential.
The spray format makes it easy to distribute the product throughout the hair. Its fragrance-free formula is suitable for people who wish to avoid scented products. A fine-toothed stainless steel comb is included to assist with removing the parasites after treatment.
To round out your kit, the effective Pouxit Anti-Lice and Nits Comb also helps inspect the hair and facilitates the mechanical removal of lice and nits. An additional comb may be handy for family checkups, even though one is already included in this box.

Our expert advice on Pouxit Flash
We recommend that you take the time to examine the hair before treatment, then follow each step in the instructions: a short application time does not mean you can skip careful application. Sit in a well-lit area and ask for help with combing, especially at the back of the head. Also check the hair of other household members and treat anyone with an infestation on the same day. If live lice remain, consult your pharmacist before repeating the treatment.
