Max Control & Essential Oil Bundle
All-day, long-term control of flakes and itch — a medicated shampoo to cut through the buildup, paired with a nourishing oil-based serum for daily hydration.
Two prescription treatments. One complete scalp routine.
Bundle the Max Control Shampoo with the Essential Oil to get all-day, long-term control of flakes and itch — with the nourishing benefits of an oil-based serum.
Max Control Shampoo
Specially formulated to treat a dry, itchy scalp. Combats yeast overgrowth and pairs high-strength salicylic acid to cut through scale, with a light steroid to suppress inflammation, offset salicylic acid irritation, and directly stop the itch.
The Essential Oil
An oil-based combination of a low-potency topical steroid, an antifungal, and a vitamin D derivative — providing all-day treatment for an itchy scalp. The perfect way to address hot spots while keeping your scalp and hair hydrated.

How to use the bundle
Two simple routines that work together — the shampoo a few times a week, the oil daily in place of a regular hair oil.
Max Control
Apply to wet hair and work into your scalp.
- 1
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then rinse it out completely.
- 2
You can use your own shampoos and/or conditioners before or after applying this medication.
- 3
We recommend using this product three times a week — adjust based on your hair type and routine. Even once every two weeks helps; if applying once a week or less, let it sit on your scalp for 10 minutes.
The Essential Oil
Best applied at least once a day in place of a regular hair oil.
- 1
Apply in the morning or evening to any areas of your scalp that commonly develop itching or flaking.
- 2
Use enough to provide a thin, even coat throughout the scalp.
- 3
Reapply throughout the day as needed — to the whole scalp or just to hot spots — to maintain a hydrated, flake-free, itch-free scalp all day long.

What patients are saying
Real patients, real results — 5-star reviews from people who finally stopped the flakes and the itch.
simple and effective products
I have been using many OTC and prescription products to help with my itchy and flaky scalp for several years, but recently, the products stopped working and my flakes returned. I came across Allura Medicinals during my research and saw that they offered a bundle shampoo and serum, so I figured I would give both products a try. Their shampoo pretty much simplified my scalp regimen to a single shampoo that does it all (and it smells great!). For me, I use the serum mainly on an as-needed basis since the shampoo has been working so well. My scalp has been flake free for several weeks now and my hair feels refreshed. Also, I thought the whole process was simple and timely. My initial consultation was quick and efficient, I received my initial products within the same week, and I can easily manage my subscription. Highly recommend!
Fantastic Product! Highly recommend!
I have had seborrheic dermatitis for years and nothing has really helped much. I got the bundle with the Essential Solution and the Max Control Shampoo, which has truly been a game changer for my scalp. Very simple to use and a very easy process. I didn't experience any irritation from using the shampoo or the solution. Just some tingling which I expected from a medicated shampoo. The smell wasn't overbearing as some medicated shampoos are. It was such a relief to see flakiness and irritation fade away within just a few uses, and I loved that the results keep improving over time. Thanks!
Great products
I bought the shampoo and oil combo. Both products seem to be working well and they smell good. I think the oil will last forever, so that's a must buy. The shampoo is also pretty good, but a relatively small bottle (I imagine I'll need a new one every month or so). The shampoo also needed a good shake before use, it does say that on the bottle but it's not obvious and you really notice the difference. All in, very good and would recommend.
Outstanding product that really works!
I've struggled with dandruff for a while, and this medication made a noticeable difference within the first week. My scalp feels cleaner, less itchy, and the flakes are almost gone. Easy to use and much more effective than other products I've tried, highly recommend!
