## Description

Original strength dandruff shampoo controls the symptoms of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. This shampoo provides long-lasting relief from flaking and itching.

Review: FREAKING AMAZING!!! WOW!!! - I never ever give reviews but this product was that great that I had to do it. I have had really bad dandruff and tried so many different dandruff shampoos and nothing would work or only worked for a bit. The only thing that helped was T-Gel but they stopped making it so sellers are charging an arm and a leg for it now and they are usually not even the original formula so I was devastated by that until I decided to give this shampoo a shot. Freaking works! Didn’t leave me 100% because my dandruff is that but it made an enormous difference and my hair looks so freaking healthy now. I can’t believe it. it’s a big bottle and super affordable. I definitely owe this company big time. I have a big following online and if you need a promotion or anything from me let me know I would do it completely free of charge because I am that thrilled with this product!
Review: Great for psoriasis and thin hair - I this shampoo for my grandmother, who has very thin, fragile hair and struggles with psoriasis. After trying several other brands that were supposedly “better” and much more expensive, this one has worked by far the best. It significantly helps control her psoriasis and, just as importantly, it keeps her hair looking as full and healthy as it possibly can given her condition. The scent is completely acceptable for a coal tar product, especially considering how effective it is. This has made a real difference for her comfort and confidence. Excellent results at a great value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it take the color out of my hair?**
A: I don't believe it will strip color but the bottle says it can temporarily discolor your hair. I have white towels and I've never had the shampoo discolor my towels after leaving my hair wrapped up in a towel for a long time.

**Q: Porque lo an retirado del mercado**
A: es fuerte, y se escama el cuero cabelludo

**Q: How is the smell compares with neutrogena t-gel, does it have the same tar fragrance ? is the smell stroger or weaker ?**
A: The smell is the active ingredient coal tar. I have been using this for a month now and the smell is slightly less pungent. This product works as well as the Neutrogena.

**Q: The product description reads 0.5% coal tar but the pictures say 2.5%. Which is it? Very misleading**
A: Coal tar cannot be added directly to the product and must be mixed in as an extract. The product contains 2.5% Solubilized Coal Tar Extract which amounts to 0.5% total Coal Tar.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Folliculitis relief
*by K***I on November 6, 2025*

This is literally the only thing that will keep my folliculitis under control. It does have a strong odor, but I find that rinsing well and following with a good conditioner takes it away for the most part. The color does yellow my blonde highlights, but I just use some purple shampoo afterwards to tone them back out. It also works well for my boyfriend who has super thick hair and gets dandruff on a regular basis. It also helps relieve scalp itching.
