True+Real Coal 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.

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

Packaging was good, works well but prefer T gel

Decent shampoo

I like the fact this is double strength compared to what is usually available at stores.

I use this maybe 1-2 times a weeks and still have pretty bad outbreaks on my scalp. Nuetragena TGel was the best coal tar shampoo but sadly they don’t make it anymore. I will continue my search.I will say disregard reviews regarding the smell. It’s a coal tar shampoo, it’s not gonna smell like roses. If you have gotten to the point where you need to use something like coal tar for your psoriasis or breakouts, the smell is the last thing you should be worried about. Just hope you get some relief.

Works better for the name brand at a big discount.
