Description
RID Daily Defense only belongs in the prevention slot. It is designed for households that want a routine support product after treatment or during higher-risk periods, not for families dealing with confirmed live lice right now.
That makes it useful in a catalogue sense, but only if the row stays honest about what it is not. This is not a substitute for a treatment product.
Officially positioned for daily lice defence rather than treatment
