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

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.

This is a wonderful non- steroid shampoo for scalp psoriasis. I used prescription steroid shampoos for three years with minimal results. One week after using this shampoo every other day for one week, my scalp was healed! I can wear dark shirts again. I don’t constantly scratch my head. Only problem is the odor of hot tar on my scalp. It’s pretty bad, but if you use a nice smelling conditioner afterward, it will help. My hair isn’t dried out either.

Omg this works! I have seborrheic dermatitis and my derm recommends I switch off different ingredients that work every 1-2 months. This by far works the best on me!

This is a good product at a good price but I don't understand why it was necessary to emphasize Women owned. Can you help me with that?

57, partly gray and DONE with having a sandy, itchy scalp! I really hope this review helps you find your answer: I have tried so many methods and products to deal with the granules (like sand) that form on my scalp and cause itching. Expensive salon products, moisturizing my scalp, letting it air dry, baking soda, apple cider vinegar…NOTHING worked, until my new dermatologist told me to try alternating 1 shampoo with coal tar for 3 weeks with another shampoo with salicylic acid for 3 weeks. True+Real has coal tar and appears to be very similar to Neutrogena’s T-Gel, but T+R has a higher concentration of coal tar. I’m still in my first 3-week session with True+Real, washing every 2-3 days. Wow! What a difference! I used to start getting sandy buildup by the evening when I wash in the morning. By day 3, I was an itchy wreck, with oily hair to boot. Now, my hair stays clean and shiny for 3 days and I kinda, sorta start to feel a little itching by that time. I’m sure if I shampooed every other day, there’d be minimal symptoms. Dermatologist said to wash every day - that’s not gonna happen, but I do wash/rinse/repeat and let the shampoo sit on my hair for the 2nd application while I do other “shower things.” So far, so good!! I’m eager to see what happens when I switch to the salicylic acid shampoo starting this weekend. Tips: 1. It does smell like monster truck tires, at first, but that scent dwindles at it dries. If you’re going somewhere and don’t want any trace of that scent, wash it the night before. 2. Do make sure to do 2 shampoo cycles, letting the shampoo sit 3-4 minutes on your hair during one of them. My hair stays clean so much longer!!) 3. BE CAREFUL not to get it in your eyes. It does sting, if you do, as packaging warns.

Perfect shampoo and great smell overall!

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

A lot of coal tar/pine tar shampoos have a very low level of the active ingredient, and don't really work all that well. Seeing that this product is listed at only 1% had me concerned, but apparently there are different ways of measuring the active ingredient and these guys are using the more conservative method. Bottom line, this product contains more coal tar than any of the other reasonably priced alternatives I could find on Amazon at the time. And it works as well as I would expected it to, considering its claimed potency. I'd love to see an even more concentrated product from the same manufacturer, but at this time I would buy this product again without question. I've been disappointed by other products in the same category, but this one actually works.

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
