Q&A with Amit Saha: Dermal Therapy Sebum Control

Amit Saha, Head of Technical & Innovation at LaCorium Health, discusses Dermal Therapy Sebum Control range.

What products are in the Sebum Control range? 

There are three products in the range to be used in conjunction as a regimen of care. 

• Dermal Therapy Sebum Control Serum 60ml for oil control.
• Dermal Therapy Sebum Control Shampoo 175ml for deep cleaning oily scalp and hair.
• Dermal Therapy Sebum Control Dry Shampoo 120g for refreshing oily hair in between washes – the Dry Shampoo also comes in a travel size of 30g 

What is sebum and who should use the Dermal Therapy Sebum Control range?

Sebum is a natural, oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands that plays a vital role in maintaining scalp hydration and protection. However, an overproduction of sebum can lead to greasy hair, clogged pores, and even scalp irritation, which may result in acne, inflammation, and other scalp issues. Anyone who is experiencing any of the above should use Dermal Therapy’s Sebum Control range to help regulate sebum production, preventing these unwanted side effects. 

How beneficial is Dermal Therapy’s Sebum Control range for oily hair? 

Dermal Therapy’s Sebum Control Shampoo gently cleanses the hair and scalp to reduce oiliness and prevents excess sebum production using a unique oil control complex. It extends your hair wash cycle while also balancing and supporting a healthy scalp microbiome. 

Dermal Sebum Control Serum is the ultimate solution for managing oily scalp. This lightweight, leave-on treatment is designed to control sebum production and actively reduce excess oil from the root. With guaranteed visible results in seven days, it works to restore balance to the scalp microbiome and visibly reduce irritation. 

Dermal Therapy Sebum Control Dry Shampoo is designed to refresh hair between washes. This innovative dry shampoo absorbs excess oil while also actively reducing the sebum production that causes oily hair. It’s an invisible spray that’s suitable for all hair types. 

Do you have to use each product for effectiveness? 

Yes, the range is designed to be used as a regimen of care to achieve optimum outcome. 

What are the key ingredients in Dermal Therapy Sebum Control? 

Our Sebum Control range offers a novel approach to tackling oily hair from the root, preventing greasy build-up and scalp irritation for long-lasting freshness. The range is formulated with a triple active complex of Seboclear (Maclura cochinchinensis leaf prenylflavonoids), Sebocytine (Rosa canina fruit extract) and Symcontrol (Sphingomonas ferment extract) which helps reduce sebum production by blocking critical steps in the production cycle, addressing the root cause of oily scalp and hair. 

What are the other key benefits of using this range? 

Our unique oil control complex also visibly reduces irritation while restoring the scalp’s microbiome balance. It also decreases scalp regreasing rate to extend the hair washing cycle, controls inflammation and selectively inhibits C acne on the scalp to improve overall scalp health. 

What directions need to be provided for Dermal Therapy Sebum Control? 

Dermal Therapy’s Sebum Control Shampoo serum. Apply a few drops of the leave-on serum onto scalp after washing hair and massage gently, ensuring serum is evenly dispersed. For initial use, apply daily, for seven days. It’s recommended to apply to damp hair after washing. 

For ongoing maintenance, revert to normal hair wash cycle and apply to damp hair after washing. For best results, use in conjunction with Dermal Therapy Sebum Control Shampoo.
