OTC Anti-lice

OTC anti-lice is the leading brand in the market for lice control products and treatments. Its mission is to definitively and effectively get rid of nits and lice.

These insects live in the hair and feed on human blood. Although they are very small and fast, it is possible to see them with the naked eye and they are characterised by their grey colour. It is easier to see their eggs, the nits, as they are white in colour and are firmly attached to the root of the hair. OTC lice products are designed to kill them all.

On the other hand, they have no wings, so they cannot fly, so they are spread by direct contact and, although they are associated with poor hygiene, they prefer to breed on clean hair. They can also be transmitted by sharing headgear such as hats or combs and through clothing, sofas, etc. although this is more unusual.

How to kill head lice?

To effectively eliminate lice and nits there are many types of substances specific to each case and skin type. The most common are permethrin and dimethicone, both of which are included in the OTC anti-lice formula.

The first of these, Permethrin 1.5%, is the most effective treatment against head lice thanks to its great antiparasitic power, especially lice and nits. It acts by paralysing the insect, resulting in its death. It is recommended for skin that is not very sensitive and for children from the age of two.

For more sensitive and atopic skin, Dimethicone is used in the composition of the products, which acts by creating a film that suffocates the louse. As it is gentler, it can be used on children from one year of age.

OTC Lice Products

For a simple way to get rid of lice and nits, OTC' s anti-lice products are the most suitable because they are easy to use and highly effective. Thanks to its antiparasitic effects and its formula with 1.5% concentrated Permethrin, OTC Lice blocks the nervous system of the insects and they die immediately. The easiest way to get all the necessary products is the OTC Kit 1 2 3 which contains lotion, conditioner and repellent spray. The ingredients are skin-friendly, so they can be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women as well.

Treatment begins by applying OTC lotion to dry hair, making sure to cover the entire scalp and leave on for 15 minutes. Afterwards, wash the hair with a cosmetic shampoo and remove the lice and nits with the help of a comb or nit comb and apply the conditioner that releases the parasites. In addition to acetic acid, which removes nits from the hair, it moisturises and nourishes thanks to Vitamin E.

OTC anti-lice spray with a new pleasant scent protects and repels parasites while there is still a risk of contagion in the environment. For correct use and effective protection, it should be applied after every wash. And finally, to prevent recurrence and ensure complete disappearance, it is recommended to repeat the complete OTC lice treatment after one week.

OTC insecticide-free

For skin that is more sensitive to chemicals and needs special care, OTC has designed a range of specific insecticide-free products.

Instead of adding Permethrin, these products use Dimethicone, a silicone that creates a coating that immobilises the louse and suffocates it. They do not contain alcohol and can be used on children from one year of age.

OTC lice treatments without insecticide can be purchased separately or in a 1 2 3 kit, in the same way as those containing Permethrin.

How to diagnose the presence of head lice?

The main symptom to look for to know if head lice are present is the continuous itching of the scalp, caused by the saliva left by the insect when it feeds.

The main areas where they are found are the nape of the neck and behind the ears. To be sure, it is advisable, before using any product, to thoroughly examine the root of the hair with the help of the OTC lice comb and pass it lock by lock. Then clean the comb on a white surface if possible to better see the greyish colour of the lice.

OTC anti-lice reviews

Lice infestations are most common in the spring and summer months, especially among children. The school environment makes their spread faster, but OTC anti-lice has very satisfactory opinions in the elimination of the pests, both in the treatment of children and adults, due to its ease and effectiveness.

Head lice can live up to 35 days, from the time they are nits until they become adults. At this stage, the females lay 4 to 8 eggs a day at the root of the hair, secreting a sticky substance that makes them stick to the hair and make them immune to water and ordinary shampoo.

Thanks to the content of OTC's permethrin insecticide, the insects are killed instantly, making it easier to remove them with other products and a comb.
