Lyclear Extra Strong 100ml

Lyclear Extra Strong Treatment for Head Lice and Scabies

You can effectively treat head lice and scabies infestations with this medicated treatment. The formulation contains dimethicone, which works by coating the lice and their eggs, causing them to suffocate. This physical action means that resistance is unlikely to develop, making it a reliable choice for persistent infestations.

The 100ml bottle provides sufficient treatment for multiple applications or family use. You should apply the treatment to dry hair and scalp, ensuring complete coverage from roots to tips. The treatment works on contact and does not require the lice to feed, making it effective against all stages of the lice lifecycle.

How Dimethicone Works Against Parasites

The active ingredient creates a silicone coating that blocks the breathing holes of lice and scabies mites. This physical mechanism of action differs from traditional insecticides, as it does not rely on neurotoxins. The treatment immobilises the parasites within minutes of application.

Unlike chemical treatments, this approach does not cause resistance issues. The dimethicone also coats the eggs, preventing them from hatching successfully. You will need to leave the treatment on for the recommended contact time to ensure complete effectiveness against both adult parasites and their eggs.

Suitable for Adults and Children Over 6 Months

This treatment is appropriate for most family members, including young children from 6 months of age. You should supervise application in children to ensure proper coverage and prevent accidental ingestion. The treatment is suitable for all hair types, including chemically treated or coloured hair.

The following groups can use this treatment safely:

• Adults and children over 6 months old
• People with sensitive skin conditions
• Those who have not responded to other treatments
• Individuals requiring repeat treatments

If you are treating multiple family members, you should treat everyone simultaneously to prevent re-infestation. Consider exploring our head lice collection for additional prevention and aftercare products.

Why Choose a Silicone-Based Treatment

Silicone-based treatments offer several advantages over traditional pesticide formulations. They do not contain harsh chemicals that can irritate the scalp or cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The lyclear extra strong formulation is also less likely to damage hair fibres compared to chemical alternatives.

The treatment rinses out easily with regular shampoo, leaving no residue on the hair or scalp. You can use normal hair care products immediately after treatment without waiting periods. This makes it particularly suitable for people with busy lifestyles or those who need to return to work or school quickly.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

You should store this treatment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent the contents from thickening. The treatment remains effective until the expiry date printed on the packaging when stored correctly.

Do not freeze the product, as this may alter its consistency and effectiveness. Keep out of reach of children when not in use. Check the expiry date before each application, and dispose of any expired product according to local guidelines.
