ACM Novophane DS Shampoo is an anti-dandruff gel shampoo that combines piroctone olamine and salicylic acid with niacinamide, panthenol, and inulin. It gently removes dry dandruff and restores comfort to the scalp.
ACM Novophane DS is an anti-dandruff gel shampoo designed for scalps prone to dry dandruff—those fine white flakes that break off and fall onto the shoulders. Its formula combines piroctone olamine, an anti-dandruff agent, with salicylic acid, which gently exfoliates the scalp’s surface. It also contains niacinamide, panthenol, glycyrrhetinic acid derived from licorice, and inulin, a plant-based prebiotic. To compare textures and formulas based on dandruff type, our selection of anti-dandruff shampoos brings together the top products on the shelf.
Its primary function addresses what’s visible: the shampoo gently removes dry dandruff with each wash. The lather loosens the flakes clinging to the scalp, and rinsing washes them away without the need for vigorous scrubbing. The hair regains a clean appearance, and dark clothing no longer reveals the problem.
The second aspect concerns comfort. A scalp prone to dandruff feels tight, becomes red, and reacts to shampoos that are too harsh. Novophane DS restores the scalp’s comfort and soothes redness, with a cleansing formula that cleanses without further drying out an already fragile area.
It is designed for moderate dandruff conditions—those that recur periodically: when the weather turns cold, with heating, after a period of fatigue, or following a switch to a shampoo that doesn’t agree with your scalp. It is suitable for both men and women, regardless of hair length, since the treatment primarily targets the scalp.
We recommend using it in combination with Klorane Extra-Gentle Daily Shampoo. Novophane DS is not meant for use with every wash: between applications, an extra-gentle oat milk shampoo takes over to cleanse the hair without irritating the scalp or undoing the treatment’s effects. The anti-dandruff treatment works on the designated days, while the gentle shampoo maintains your hair on the other days.
Directions for Use
On wet hair, work the shampoo into a lather by gently massaging the scalp, leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use it 2 to 3 times a week during the intensive treatment phase, then 1 to 2 times a week for maintenance.

At the counter, the step people most often skip is letting the shampoo sit: they lather it up, rinse it out immediately, and the shampoo hasn’t had time to work. Leave the lather on while you wash your body, then rinse thoroughly. And resist the urge to scratch, rub vigorously with a towel, or dry your hair with very hot air: these actions perpetuate irritation and trigger the flaking that the shampoo is designed to soothe.
When following the treatment regimen, evaluate its effectiveness over a three- to four-week intensive phase, not based on just two washes. Once your scalp is clear, don’t stop using it all at once: switch to a maintenance regimen and keep it within reach. Resuming the intensive phase at the first signs of flare-up is easier than starting over with a severely affected scalp.
How can I tell if my dandruff is dry or oily before choosing ACM Novophane DS Shampoo?
Dry dandruff is fine, white, or grayish; it flakes off easily and falls onto the shoulders, often on a tight, itchy scalp. Oily dandruff is thicker, yellowish, and sticks to the hair and scalp, often on hair that gets oily quickly. Novophane DS is suitable for both types.
Should I choose ACM Novophane DS Shampoo or Novophane K?
The two shampoos are not intended for the same severity of dandruff. ACM Novophane K Shampoo for Severe Scaly Conditions 125 ml is designed for thicker, more stubborn flakes, with a more intensive formula containing cade oil, whereas Novophane DS is intended for everyday dandruff.
Can I use ACM Novophane DS Shampoo on color-treated hair?
Yes, it is safe for colored hair. Its cleansing base contains a sulfate that may, over time, slightly dull the most delicate colors: waiting 48 hours before using it for the first time after coloring and focusing the shampoo on the scalp rather than the lengths will minimize this effect. Applying conditioner to the lengths completes the routine.
