Damatol Medicated Hair, Scalp & Skin Treatment (110g)
Damatol Medicated Cream is a household name and a trusted antiseptic formula used across Nigeria for generations. It is specifically formulated to treat and prevent common scalp and skin conditions like dandruff, ringworm, and eczema. Manufactured by Victory Chemical Industries Limited in Lagos, this medicated hair cream provides a cooling sensation and soothing relief for irritated skin.
Damatol is widely regarded as one of the best anti-dandruff hair creams in Nigeria due to its effective antifungal properties.
