Piroctone olamine and pyrithione are both active ingredients commonly used in anti-dandruff shampoos and other hair care products. However, there are some differences between the two.

Piroctone olamine, also known as octopirox, is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that is effective against a variety of fungi that can cause scalp conditions such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It works by inhibiting the growth of these fungi and preventing them from spreading. Piroctone olamine is also known for its ability to reduce inflammation and soothe the scalp.

Pyrithione, on the other hand, is a zinc salt that is also effective against fungi that can cause dandruff and other scalp conditions. It works by disrupting the cell membranes of these fungi, leading to their death. Pyrithione is also effective against bacteria, making it a good choice for people who have a combination of dandruff and bacterial scalp infections.

Overall, both piroctone olamine and pyrithione are effective anti-dandruff agents, but they work in slightly different ways and may be more effective against different types of fungi.
