Skin feels tight and dry year-round and may feel worse after bathing or showering

Fine, small pores
Smooth skin texture
Generally few blemishes but may suffer breakouts from time to time
Oily skin
Caused by an overproduction of sebum, which can lead to excess oil, congestion, and blocked pores.
Characteristics:
Visible, excess oil on the skin, often causing a sheen
Large visible pores
Blackheads and blemishes
Combination skin
The T-zone down the center of the face is generally oily and the cheeks are normal or dry.
Characteristics:
Produces excess oil on the nose, forehead, or chin
Skin can feel tight or dry during winter
Enlarged pores in certain areas, including blackheads

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY ANOTHER ANTI-DANDRUFF SHAMPOO
Dandruff isn't dryness. It's a fungus, overfed.
A yeast that lives on every human scalp feeds on your scalp oil. When it overgrows, your skin sheds ten times too fast. That shedding is your dandruff, and here is exactly how to shut it down.
Meet Malassezia. It lives on your scalp right now.
A yeast called Malassezia globosa lives on every human scalp, yours included. It feeds on your natural scalp oil and leaves behind oleic acid, an irritant. Most scalps shrug it off. Dandruff-prone scalps overreact.
Oil (yellow) feeds the yeast (green). Its by-products irritate the skin, which sheds in visible clumps (white).
1
Your scalp produces oil
Sebum is normal and healthy. It is also the yeast's only food.
2
The yeast overgrows and irritates
Heat, humidity, stress and oily scalps let it multiply. Its by-products inflame the skin.
3
Your skin panics and sheds
Cells that should mature over a month are pushed out in days, sticky and clumped. Those clumps are flakes.
Dandruff is not poor hygiene and not dry skin. It is a fungal overgrowth, which is why it needs an antifungal, not another wash.
PART 02 · KNOW YOUR DANDRUFF
Which one is on your shoulders?
Dandruff shows up differently on different scalps. Find yours below. All four trace back to the same yeast, they just need different actives to clear.
Dry white flakes
Small, powdery, fall freely on shoulders. Worst in winter.
Oily yellow flakes
Larger, sticky, cling to the scalp. Often with odour. The yeast's favourite home.
Buildup dandruff
A film of product, oil and dead skin that traps flakes against the scalp.
Red, itchy patches
Inflamed areas with scale, the severe end of the same yeast overgrowth.
Four faces, one root cause. That is exactly why this formula carries 5 actives instead of 1: each type needs a different attack.
PART 03 · WHY NOTHING HAS WORKED
Why the flakes keep coming back.
✗ Rinse-off routines alone
A great wash clears today's flakes, but the fungus lives deeper. It needs hours of leave-on contact to stay in check, which a rinse-off step can't give on its own.
✗ Oiling the scalp
Oil is the yeast's food. A champi on a dandruff-prone scalp is a feast for Malassezia, which is why flakes often get worse after.
✗ Lemon, curd and home remedies
Acidic quick-fixes strip the skin barrier, which invites more irritation and faster shedding. They treat the symptom for a day and feed the cycle for a month.
Killing the fungus takes hours of contact, night after night. That is why this treatment is a leave-on overnight lotion, not a rinse-off.
PART 04 · THE FIX
5 actives. 8 hours on your scalp. Every night.
Ravel PRO Anti-Dandruff Scalp Treatment is an overnight leave-on lotion, made by dermatologists. Each of its 5 clinically proven actives attacks a different link in the dandruff chain, so no type of dandruff escapes.
India first: derma-grade Ketoconazole, the antifungal dermatologists prescribe in clinics, in a leave-on lotion. No other brand in India has put it in one.

KILLS THE FUNGUS · THE HERO
Ketoconazole, derma-grade
The gold-standard antifungal. Targets Malassezia at the source so flakes stop being made, and stop coming back.

CUTS OFF THE FOOD
Zinc PCA
Regulates excess scalp oil, the yeast's only food supply, so the overgrowth cannot restart.
N
REPAIRS THE SKIN
Niacinamide
Calms redness and rebuilds the scalp barrier that months of scratching and harsh washes broke down.
STOPS THE ITCH, INSTANTLY
Peppermint Oil
Cooling relief from the first application, so you stop scratching while the actives do the slow work.

THE NIGHT ROUTINE
Apply at night. It works while you sleep.
Non-greasy, no residue on the pillow, no smell of a medicated clinic.
01
Part your hair and apply directly onto a clean, dry scalp.
02
Focus on the areas with flakes, itching or buildup.
03
Massage gently for 30 to 60 seconds until fully absorbed.
04
Leave on overnight. Do not rinse. Use daily; the fungus gets no nights off, so neither does the treatment.

No more black shirt anxiety
I would check my shoulders throughout the day, every day. Within a month the visible flakes reduced dramatically, and by week 8 my scalp looked noticeably cleaner. I wear black without thinking twice now.

Finally beat the sticky flakes
Shampoos would work for a few days and the flakes would come right back. This tackled the oily, sticky buildup that returned every week. My scalp stays clean for longer and the itching has almost disappeared.

The itching stopped first
The biggest change wasn't even the flakes, it was the itching. Within a couple of weeks I stopped constantly scratching. By the second month the dandruff was barely noticeable.

Actually keeps it away
I've tried medicated shampoos, salon treatments, everything. Most reduce dandruff temporarily but never stop it returning. This is the first thing that has kept my scalp consistently clear. Three months later, still clear.

GOT QUESTIONS?
Honest, scientific answers.
Yes. This is a derma-grade cosmetic concentration, co-developed and reviewed by dermatologists and patch-tested for 48 hours. It is the same molecule dermatologists rely on for dandruff, formulated for daily leave-on use. If you have an active infection or broken skin, see a doctor first.
No. It is a fast-absorbing, non-greasy lotion. Massage it in for 30 to 60 seconds and it disappears; nothing transfers to the pillow.
Itching typically calms within the first two weeks; peppermint cools from night one. Visible flakes drop around weeks 3 to 4, and the independent panel showed up to 94% dandruff reduction by week 8 with nightly use.
Especially for that. Oily scalps are where Malassezia thrives, so the formula pairs the antifungal with Zinc PCA to regulate the oil that feeds it and Salicylic Acid to dissolve the sticky flakes.
Yes. It is applied to the scalp, not the lengths, and is sulphate-free and colour-safe. Keep your usual shampoo; this works independently of it.
Use it nightly for 30 days. If your flakes and itching have not visibly reduced, email us for a full refund. No forms, no questions. If this cannot clear your dandruff, you should see a dermatologist, and you will have paid nothing to find out.
The fungus is on your scalp tonight. So is the fix.
Apply before bed. Cooling relief tonight, fewer flakes by week 3, a clear scalp by week 8.
