Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by avoiding them from forming their own protective covering. Salicylic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as keratoplastic, which works by removing dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slowing down skin cell's growth. This effect decreases scaling and dryness, thus relieving itching and cracking related to dandruff.
