True+RealCoal Tar Therapeutic Tar Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 1% Coal Tar, 6 Ounce

True+Real Coal Tar Therapeutic Shampoo is an effective and affordable option for those suffering from persistent scalp conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, or severe dandruff. Its active ingredient, 0.5% coal tar (equivalent to 2% in other formulations), has been clinically proven to reduce flaking, relieve itching, and decrease inflammation.From the first application, you can notice a significant reduction in itching and dryness, and with consistent use (2 to 3 times per week, as directed), your scalp begins to look healthier, with fewer visible flakes. It also has an easy-to-apply texture and lathers well enough to distribute evenly.As with most coal tar shampoos, its scent is somewhat strong and distinctive, but this is to be expected with a therapeutic product of this nature. Some people may also notice a temporary darkening of light or color-treated hair, so it is recommended to rinse well and alternate with a cosmetic shampoo if desired.Highlights:✔ Effectively relieves itching and flaking.✔ Good value.✔ Dermatologically approved formula.What could be improved:✘ Strong, medicinal scent.✘ Can dry out hair if not used with an appropriate conditioner.✘ Not recommended for prolonged daily use without medical advice.Conclusion:True+Real Coal Tar Therapeutic Shampoo is an excellent alternative for those looking to effectively manage scalp conditions without overspending. Ideal for intermittent treatments and as part of a dermatologically supervised routine.

Works very well for dandruff itchiness/flakes. It is somewhat expensive though and the bottle is small. It also has a strong smell unique to the tar, but I got used to it. I bought a similar tar dandruff shampoo from Amazon Essentials with a higher concentration and it had the same smell. That shampoo was too watery though. This was better so I'm probably going to stick with this unless I can find a cheaper alternative.

Really good stuff. Works as good as Neutrogena T-Gel (which has been discontinued for over a year now.)

Packaging was good, works well but prefer T gel

I bought this because for the first time in my life this year, I've had intense burning, itching, and dry scalp. My hair was falling out like crazy. To the point I was vacuuming every day. I had to throw my pj's in the dryer after sleeping all night. Vacuum my side of the bed. I used this with another shampoo and left it on my scalp for 5 minutes before rinsing. It did burn a little but my husband has used it before and said it does burn or tingle the first use. Today I used it again with tea tree oil and peppermint oil. I left it on 5 minutes and rinsed it and it feels so calm on my scalp. No burning no itching no tingling. I feel so relaxed for the first time in months. I'm using this along with the Berk's shampoo that has Rosemary in it with some other ingredients. I will shampoo every day for a week and then every other day. Hopefully then I can shampoo only once a week. I'm hopeful this will work. 2nd use and already feeling better.

Worked well for those who have a dry scalp

Not sure how this product works yet but as soon as i opened it the top was completely broken and put back on backwards so Ive been struggling to put it back on to where its a normal easy to use cap.

Decent shampoo
