SALVECosalic Coal Tar Solution Itch Relief Dandruff Free Shampoo/for Psoriasis & Seborrheic Dermatitis - Instant Result - 6.8 Oz(Pack of 2), Natural

I've been looking for a substitute for Alphosyl since it was discontinued. My psoriasis has become really bad since Alphosyl went out of production & I've used all the usual suspects without success. This product hasn't worked a miracle but its gradually getting things under control again.It comes sealed in a bottle with a thick stopper that needs to be pierced with a stiff pointed object to access the contents. Take your time making the hole so it doesn't squirt in odd directions. Its more of a thin lotion rather than like a regular shampoo, you don’t need a lot similar to Alphosyl.Don't expect miracles but it is definitely helping me after spending a fortune on other brands that in some cases made things worse. Hope it can work for you too.

Given 4 stars, though would rather give 3.5 if that was an option. Great to have the 2 ingredients I'm looking for in the same product, though doesn't work quite as well as a mixture of the 2 shampoos I used previously (MG217 Coal Tar & MG217 Salicylic Acid Shampoos). The consistency of the shampoo is also quite thin, so you pour it into your hand and half of it falls on the floor. Also the bottle is a screw cap which is a bit of a pain rather than a squeeze bottle which would be a lot better.

Good

👍

Had a severe dandruff and itchy scalp,I'd tried other things with no success.Ive used this twice and the difference is unbelievable, so I highly recommend it.As for people saying they lose half of it down drain ect as its liquid,one person even said lost half a bottle removing stopper!.It comes with a stopper, the stopper is designed for you to pierce centre. Imagine an old fashioned vinegar bottle ,then you sprinkle a tiny bit directly on your scalp.No wastage at all,just people that don't follow instructions, though I realised before I even saw the instructions. Some people are just a bit silly 🤷‍♀️
