Medicated Shampoo 8oz - 5% Coal Tar

This is the only product that actually helps! My scalp is clearing up after years of itching and embarrassment. Yes it smells awful, but use another shampoo afterwards and think of the positives of a better scalp. The product is extremely runny so be sure to keep the bottle upside down to make sure it doesn’t leak.

Definitely recommend this item for severe scalp psorasis or eczema -- it's the cleanest my scalp has ever looked -- but with caveats. First, only buy this as last resort. If you haven't already tried things like T-Sal, Nizoral, Delsum, etc, don't get this yet. Because it has the highest percentage of coal tar active on the market, the scent is extreme. You will smell like a vat of napthalene from across the room, no way around it. You cannot use this shampoo and then go to work same day. It's necessary to help a medical condition but I wish it weren't. It will also stain your shower surface if you don't put something underneath it because of the low viscosity...I wish they'd make the bottle opening on the top to avoid this. Will also dry your hair out quite a bit, so I pair with a mild conditioner. It works way, way better than the usual 1% coal tar shampoo for skin inflammation, though.

I had terrible flaking and itchy scalp and was super embarrassing. But ever since I started using products with Coal Tar I haven’t had any issues. Most of the products I started with have been discontinued. So I found this product and had been using it for a few years. And this is the best shampoo for Dandruff and also has a conditioner. Love and worth the extra cost. The bottle lasts twice as long. You only need to use a small amount and lathers up very well. 5 stars +

I do think its helping, but it's very runny, making it difficult to make it to my scalp without losing a portion of it. Also the lid on the tube leaks. Money down the drain - literally.

This is my first time purchasing this product, which was recommended by my dermatologist for my scalp psoriasis. It’s too soon to tell if it will help long-term, but I did notice a significant reduction in itchiness after showering. The scent is strong, but I don’t mind as long as it helps calm the itching. I’ve tried almost every product out there and am running out of options, so I’m hopeful this continues to help.

Folks, this is an EXCELLENT shampoo for those like me who suffer from one or more of the following symptoms: Seborrheic dermatitis, red inflamed scalp, scaling, sensitive scalp that's allergic to certain ingredients in the shampoo, and/or mild to severe dandruff. This shampoo is well formulated: it uses the ammonium instead of sodium variation of sulphates. Ammonium is gentler on the scalp than sodium is. In addition, it has NO artificial fragrance and uses minimal ingredients. It lathers well and rinses off well. Does it smell of Tar? Yes, it does, but Tar is needed to fix the issues in your scalp, so why make it a big deal? No other OTC Tar shampoo works for me except this one. I add a drop of Rosemary oil in the shampoo and that hides the tar smell. Deal with the smell of Tar, but don't walk away from this shampoo just because of that: the benefits far outweigh the one, IMHO, minor disadvantage. One final point: I rotate between this shampoo and Nizoral (2 days followed by 1 day, respectively) to reduce my exposure to Tar. Overall, an excellent product. Try it for 2 weeks without questioning...if it helps you, stick with it.

Works better than other products I have tried. Lathers well and leaves no unwanted odor. I'll continue to use it.

I almost didn't believe my eyes, so I ordered it right away. It really is 25% coal tar solution, so that's 5% active coal tar! I've been using coal tar products since I was in my 20s, and I'm now in my 50s. They're the only thing that works. Salicylic acid makes a lot of promises, but nothing is delivered. Just a few applications of a decent concentration of coal tar and you're dealing with healthy skin once more. I guess I have an AI to thank for the recommendation. I had given up looking for this. It doesn't smell horrible, like other products do, it doesn't stick to your skin and reek either. Your skin and hair is soft after using it. Your hair may be flyaway afterward, so be ready with an anti frizz product. Or just wet your hands, put a tiny amount of moisturizer there and spread that on your hands before running your hands over the area. High quality product, I highly recommend it.
