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

It's real, it works, and it takes all the itching and flaking away. You don't need much of it either - one bottle lasted several months. It made my scalp feel great too. My only quibble would be that tar shampoos never smell great, and this is no exception. However, its smell is mild compared to most.

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'm so sad that a major company that used to sell tar gel shampoo at grocery and drug stores doesn't seem to make it anymore. I guess there was a coal tar shortage some years back? Anyhow I can't get it from that company anymore. Thank goodness I can buy this product here; it's very effective and a good deal.

I've used coal tar shampoo for years, both T-Gel and the Equate generic. I don't mind smelling like a freshly coated driveway. It's been difficult to find any of these products on the shelf, and that goes double if I want the extra strength versions or the generics. At least this stuff is available at a reasonable price. That said, this product seems to have some sort of added fragrance that doesn't play well with the coal tar scent. It ends up smelling less like plain coal tar and more like shampoo that had been recovered from a house fire. I'm not going to stop using it, but maybe I shouldn't have bought so many bottles. FWIW, the bottles came taped shut and wrapped. I had no issues with leakage in transit. EDIT (about a year later): Considering how availability has only gotten worse since my review, I can no longer regret buying as many bottles as I did. The smell might not be the same as the old stuff, but I'm used to it and I can't care if it still works. I'd buy more if I could.

Works great fir sebhoreac dermatitis. It does smell but does the job. Will buy again. Great price too.

I love this product and need to get more and than more . It really works 👍❤️

This was ok, didn't work for me but it is still a good product.

This shampoo helped me alot with my dandruff

Se supone que es el concentrado pero tristemente no se acerca al de Neutrogena.

Muy buen producto, siento que ha ayudado bastante con mis problemas del cuero cabelludo tiene un olor raro pero imagino que por los componentes nada que moleste, es mejor que otros que me han costado mucho más dinero. Lo volvería a comprar
