Coal Tar Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, Flakes Shampoo, 6 fl oz | Alleviates Symptoms from 1st Wash, Treats Psoriasis, Seborrheic Dermatitis & Itchy Dry Scalp, Fights Root Cause of Dandruff

Okay so I HAD to come back and review this! The previous reviews did not disappoint. I was skeptical to buy this but let me share my experience with this shampoo. It is a FACT that the smell is not pleasant but THIS PRODUCT DOES WORK! It took about 2 weeks to improve my symptoms and I was NOT disappointed. It does benefit leaving it longer during washing (5 minutes at most) and it also helps having a scalp exfoliator to really get into the scalp. I used it a least 2-3 times a week (a day or 2 in between washing hair). DO NOT OVERUSE! It is recommended to use a little conditioner as it's a little rough after the use as it does leave the hair stiff (also helps with the scent). After the wash, you can style as usual, if needed. Once symptoms improve, you can use it weekly to keep/prevent the dandruff away and refresh the scalp. A little extra and personal note, it did help improve my skin psoriasis symptoms on my lower neck. I definitely recommend this product to people who have psoriasis and/or bad dandruff. Especially of other dandruff brands no longer work on your hair. Also, keep the bottle upright at all times. It does tend to leak if the bottle is left upside down.

I have Seborrheic Dermatitis and use to use Medi-derm, which was awesome product to clear up my Seborrheic Dermatitis. The manufacturer quit making Medi-derm, so I have been looking for a shampoo product every since, nothing really worked. I found Medicasp shampoo and it is the closest product to Medi-derm that I have found to actually cleanse my scalp and take away the itch. I highly recommend this product if you have Seborrheic Dermatitis. I purchase 1 bottle and because it worked so well turned around and ordered more to have on hand.

I've had psoriasis my entire life. Nizoral helped with it, and then suddenly stopped working. I've been fighting with the worst flare up I've ever had for the better part of 4 months. I was going bald, my entire scalp was one giant scale, I was desperate to try anything. I saw some people recommending Coal Tar shampoo so I got this one. Happy to report that it cleared my flare up after only two washes. I've never felt such extreme relief in my life. It smells like a burning tire, but it works! It smells awful, no exaggeration. If you're sensitive open a window and blast a fan.

I gotta say this stuff does work good (see pics) but it smells like nicotine and moth balls, it's AWFUL! If you are like my and have long hair I would suggest you do what I do and just use this on you scalp and wash the rest of your hair with something else that smells good cause this will make you sick if you have to smell it on your hair around your face all day! That's why I gave a 4 instead of 5 cause they didn't even try to make it smell decent AT ALL.

"I had tried several products before, but this shampoo really makes a difference. I have noticed a significant reduction in dandruff in a very short time, just as it promises. My scalp feels much cleaner and relieved after every wash. It is a treatment that delivers what it says, and honestly, it has improved my hair care routine. Highly recommended for those looking for real results."

I bought Medicasp and found it amazing, it really works well and leaves the hair clean. The only downside is that it has a very strong smell, and even when I use another shampoo afterward, the scent still lingers a bit. Still, the product does its job.

My scalp has been itching for days. I ordered this shampoo yesterday, and waited to get it quick. I immediately took a shower and rubbed it in and waited about 8 minutes with it laththered up. A bunch of woosies said it smells bad. The thing is it takes away the itching, don't bitch, if you have the itch. The smell smells like a telephone pole,or a railroad tie,or a newly paved road, slightly, not overwhelming at all. I like the smell, and it doesn't last but a while. The main thing is, it's working, and medicine doesn't always smell good, but I was going crazy scratching my scalp, and making sores and scabs. I couldn't find any tar based shampoo anywhere in a store. Thanks Amazon, for having it and very good price. Take my word, this is medicine. My head feels so good now!

I will start by saying that even though the smell is horrible I am truly amazed at how well it helps with my daughter's scalp irritation due to psoriasis. This is great value for my money because out of everything we have tried and failed with, this actually worked and we started to see results by the 3rd use!!! Her hair remained soft, clean, and shiny!
