About Lyclear Extra Strong Shampoo

Lyclear Extra Strong Shampoo is a clinically proven non-insecticide head lice treatment designed to kill head lice and help eliminate eggs in one application. The formula works physically by suffocating and dehydrating lice rather than using traditional chemical insecticides, making it suitable where resistance may be a concern.

This easy-to-use treatment is applied to dry hair and also washes the hair during treatment, meaning no additional shampoo is required afterwards.

Lyclear Extra Strong Shampoo is suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over.
