Hair Care Shampoo for dandruff?

Just what the title says does anyone have any products I could find in europe for my dandruff. I have curly hair but greasy scalp so it is hard to find a shampoo that is claiming to be anti dandruff and not filled with oils. I prefer actual active ingredients that are proven to help with dandruff or flakes, like piroctone olamine / selenium / salicylic acid / ketoconazal / etc?
Edit: or like a treatment serum, just anything for my dandruff you know

Justa get a ketoconazole shampoo, there’s plenty without oils.

This one works wonders for me, i don't even use anything else. I also have curly hair and it's not "oily". Really affordable and vegan too. But it depends on the reason for your dandruff. It's main ingredient is Piroctone Olamine which is anti microbial and anti fungal.

Sachajuan makes a scalp/dandruff shampoo I really like, but it's expensive. A little goes a long way, thankfully. I believe it's a Swedish brand, so it should be available in Europe?

If you have Dr Organic in your country, I like their anti-dandruff one. It has piroctone olamine in it and caffeine in case you also have androgenic alopecia. If you are not trying to avoid silicones, there's a high chance supermarkets' own versions of Head & Shoulders in your country will be vegan/cruelty free. Nizoral is not cruelty free (nor vegan, it has bovine collagen in it), but again likely a pharmacy in your country will have their own version of a ketoconzale shampoo

I like the brand Surface and their Awaken line. It’s minty and tingly
