Key Benefits
Knix KZ is a strong therapeutic shampoo with two actives that provide antifungal and anti-inflammatory benefits, reducing dandruff, itching and redness.
Ketoconazole 2% helps treat several conditions, including dandruff, fungal infections and inflammatory conditions like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. When paired with zinc pyrithione, it helps inhibit Malassezia growth, a fungus responsible for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
Zinc pyrithione carries anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties along with antifungal action. As fungal load is reduced, scalp inflammation settles, excess sebum production is controlled, providing relief from itching and scalp redness.
The two actives follow two different mechanisms to combat fungal growth, providing broader coverage against fungal infections than either active alone.
Knix KZ reduces fungal load and supports a healthier scalp environment and hair growth. Ketoconazole also demonstrates anti-androgenic properties and helps promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.
Instructions
How To Use
Apply to wet hair and scalp 2-3 times a week, or as directed by your dermatologist.

Wash the shampoo completely from your scalp without leaving any residue
Use a gentle conditioner to lock in the moisture.

It is a broad-spectrum antifungal medication that works by compromising the structural integrity of fungal cell membranes by inhibiting the enzymes that produce ergosterol, which maintains cell membranes in fungi, resulting in fungal cell death. It also has anti-androgenic properties and helps reduce hair shedding associated with both fungal scalp inflammation and DHT-related follicle shrinkage.
Anantifungal and anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits the growth of the fungus Malassezia, responsible for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, directly reducing scalp inflammation and scalp flaking. It also has antibacterial properties and is effective against other scalp bacteria.

PIYUSH KUMAR SINGHVerified
Given the condition of my scalp, I didn't think it would heal easily. I had severe pimples that would fill with pus, along with red bumps and dandruff. Old pimples left behind black spots; the area was painful to the touch and extremely itchy. Visually, it looked as if my scalp was rotting away. I shaved my hair down to a 'zero' length and started using this shampoo. To be honest, I probably used it only 3 or 4 times over the course of a week. Yet, even with just that much use, new pimples stopped appearing. While I did notice pus in a few pimples, it was a significant improvement compared to before, when almost every pimple would fill with pus. The irritating, itchy red bumps are gone now. When I run my hand over my scalp, it feels quite smooth—whereas before, it was very rough and painful to touch. So, I want to say that I am satisfied with this shampoo; I even liked its smell and color. The term "medicated shampoo" initially made it sound boring, but the scent really changed the game, and the results were visible quickly. Thank you URoots♥️.. unfortunately I can only give 5 stars 😭
Naveen Iyer
When shampoo alone isn't enough
Tried 2-3 different ketoconazole shampoos with partial results. The dermatologist suggested a scalp solution instead because contact time matters. Switched to Knix KZ, dandruff fully cleared in about 6 weeks.
Yash Sehgal
Fungal scalp issue completely resolved
Was diagnosed with seb derm 2 years back. Tried steroid creams, regular medicated shampoos, nothing fully cleared it. Apply Knix KZ 20 mins before wash twice a week and it actually worked. Scalp is clear for first time in 2 years.
Harsh Bhatt
Targeted scalp solution, more powerful than shampoo
Important to know - Knix KZ isn't a shampoo. It's a solution you apply directly to the affected scalp areas before your wash. The med sits on scalp longer that way which makes it stronger than shampoo. My dandruff that no shampoo touched was gone in 5 weeks.
Tushar Wadhwa
Scalp ki problem root se khatam
Scalp pe bahut tareeke ki problems thi - itching, dandruff, kabhi kabhi redness bhi. Knix KZ solution ne 6-7 hafte mein sab theek kar diya. Shampoo se zyada strong treatment hai kyunki direct scalp pe lagta hai.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is Knix KZ safe for hair?
Yes, when used as directed. Knix KZ is a paraben-free medicated formulation intended for use every 3 days for up to 4 weeks. Like most antifungal shampoos, it can leave hair feeling dry, which is why following up with a gentle conditioner is recommended. Do not exceed the recommended frequency or duration without your doctor's advice.
Q2. Can I use ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione shampoo together?
Yes, the two active ingredients complement each other and provide added benefits to control fungal growth, reduce dandruff and provide relief in conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema and fungal infections like ringworm. It helps in reducing both fungal and bacterial growth on the scalp, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
Q3. Can I use ketoconazole alongside minoxidil treatment?
Yes. Ketoconazole shampoo can help create a clean scalp environment, allowing better absorption of minoxidil and improving the outcomes of treatment. It can also help with scalp irritation commonly associated with minoxidil.
Q4. Can I use Knix KZ as a daily-use shampoo?
Knix KZ should be used 2-3 times per week or as directed by the doctor. Excessive use can dry the scalp and worsen the condition. Do not use it for more than the recommended period of time. For daily use, a mild formula like Mildy AHF should be preferred, which is gentle on the scalp.
Q5. Can I use ketoconazole shampoo for chemically treated or coloured hair?
Yes, with care. Do not leave it on longer than 3-5 minutes, as extended contact can cause slight fading of hair colour. Follow each wash with a conditioner formulated for coloured hair to restore moisture, as medicated shampoos are more drying than cosmetic ones.
Q6. Do I need a prescription for ketoconazole 2% shampoo?
Yes, ketoconazole 2% concentration is a stronger one and should not be used without a doctor’s prescription. Higher concentrations have a risk of scalp irritation and therefore require medical supervision.
Q7. What are the side effects of using ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione shampoo?
Common side effects include scalp irritation, hair discolouration, and reduced curl definition in wavy hair, itching, burning sensation and contact dermatitis. Individuals with a history of allergic reactions should use it under the doctor’s supervision. Avoid contact with the eyes and mouth.
