|---|---|---|---|
| Scale Appearance | Thick, dry, silvery or powdery scales; often extends beyond hairline | Thinner, greasy, yellowish or white scales; typically stays on scalp | Dermveda’s keratolytic and anti-inflammatory botanicals (sulphur, turmeric) soften and reduce both thick and greasy scales. |

Ultra Scalp Psoriasis Serum: Targeted herbal therapeutics for steroid‑free scalp relief.
Dermaveda Ultra Scalp Serum is designed asa non‑steroidal option for people who need frequent, long‑term management of scalp psoriasis and severe flaking without the thinning, rebound, or sensitization concerns associated with chronic steroid cream use. Instead of relying on corticosteroids, it combines sulfur for antifungal and soothing benefits with turmeric and neem to support antioxidant protection and barrier comfort, making it suitable for ongoing daily application on sensitive, psoriasis‑prone scalps.
🌿 Why Choose Dermveda Ultra Scalp Psoriasis Serum?
Dermveda combines Sulfur, Curcuma longa (Turmeric), and Wrightia tinctoria (Sweet Indrajao) to target chronic skin conditions like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. Clinical studies support their synergistic benefits:
-
Sulfur acts as a gentle keratolytic and anti-fungal agent. Research by Pasternack & Nedorost (2017) confirms its effectiveness in reducing oiliness, fungal growth, and inflammation in facial and scalp seborrheic dermatitis.
-
Curcumin, from turmeric, significantly reduces inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and IL-6, helping manage plaque psoriasis, as shown in Antony et al. (2008). It also promotes skin barrier repair and soothes redness and itch.
-
Wrightia tinctoria, validated in a study by Vijayan et al. (2007), offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory relief. It effectively reduces scaling and erythema in psoriasis and eczema patients.
This natural blend provides a safe, non-toxic alternative to steroid creams, with long-term suitability for sensitive skin.
