What specific cleansers do people use daily for facial seborrheic dermatitis?

While the search results don't mention many specific brand names, they do highlight key ingredients that work well in daily cleansers. Here's what MySebDermTeam members and dermatologists recommend looking for:

Helpful ingredients to look for:
* Salicylic acid (anti-inflammatory and helps with scales)
* Pyrithione zinc (antifungal and antibacterial)
* Ketoconazole (antifungal)
* Sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur (antibacterial)

A MySebDermTeam member shared success using a salicylic acid cleanser twice daily, noting remarkable improvement in just four days. Another member found relief washing their face with anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole.

The National Eczema Association has a directory of approved gentle cleansers that might be worth checking out. Your dermatologist can recommend specific products based on your skin type and whether you need a prescription-strength option.

Important tips:
* Always test new products on a small area first
* Choose fragrance-free, alcohol-free options
* Use gentle, hypoallergenic formulas
* Avoid harsh soaps with sulfates

What works varies from person to person, so working with your dermatologist to find the right cleanser for your specific needs is key.
