Full Marks Solution Information
What is Full Marks Solution?
Full Marks Solution is an odourless, toxin-free, 5-minute treatment that has been clinically proven to eliminate head lice and eradicate eggs leaving even sensitive scalps itch-free.
Each 200ml bottle of Full Marks Solution comes with its own lice removal comb and contains two active ingredients, cyclomethicone and isopropyl myristate that offer powerful, fast treatment of head lice.
What is Full Marks Solution used for?
This product is a fast, effective treatment for the elimination of both head lice and their eggs in just 5 minutes.
Simply wash out each treatment with shampoo and use plenty of conditioners to soften the hair making it easier to thoroughly comb through the hair to remove the lice and their eggs.
How does Full Marks Solution work?
The active ingredients in Full Marks Solution, cyclomethicone and isopropyl myristate kill head lice by coating the surface of them causing them to dehydrate and quickly die. The fine-tooth comb can then be used to remove eggs that are attached to the hair.
For best results, the treatment should be used again after 7 days to ensure that any eggs that survived the first application are killed before they are mature enough to lay their eggs.
