This shampoo provides long-lasting relief from flaking and itching. Review: It works. My experience. - To get to the point it works. Here is my experience: I have owned this shampoo for 9 days now. To give you an idea of my situation I have a lot of dandruff. I may have psoriasis but I never got it medically diagnosed. It was at the point where flakes just kept coming down like snow. I know, gross. It was also at a point where instead of just itching, I would by habit scratch off small pieces of skin build up on my head, mostly the back of my head. This was obviously not good. I had learned to live with it for a bit until I finally decided to make a dermatology appointment to have it checked out. Well I had to wait about a month for the appointment and I was about week away from it when I decided to look up some shampoos and came across this one. I read some reviews and thought I’d give it a try. I’m not kidding when I tell you it took one use to feel a difference. I was really surprised because I thought no way would this work. The smell isn’t even that bad, I don’t know what people are really complaining about there. But I was not feeling the urge to itch. The flakes were practically gone. It was unreal. It has me in a much better mood. Things I will note and my recommendations: People complain that the packaging was horrible. I will say that the shampoo did come in an extra plastic bag in the box but nothing was wrong. I would recommend filling your palm with the shampoo and use that amount per wash. The shampoo is very foamy. I would spread it across my head and massage my scalp with my finger tips. I would leave it in for about 8 minutes before washing it out. The shampoo is also more watery than other shampoos. Results: much less itching, much less flaking, seems like my hair feels drier, fluffier almost, which to me is ironic but it’s nice. It has also put me in a more positive mood. Completely worth the money and I will continue to be buying this. I also canceled my dermatology appointment due to this shampoo. It really is a life changer, or at least so far. I’m showering every day mostly and I have skipped a day or two of showering and can feel on the second day slight itching is occurring but showering always makes it better for the rest of the day and most of the next. Thanks for reading. Hope this helps. Review: Fantastic! Staph Aureous helper, Reduces Itch, Leaves hair soft and shiny! Worth Reading - I have a staph aureus infection from scalp to under my feet. I am being treated by doctors of course, but this is a severe problem. It can be lethal to the person. The itching is maddening . And the infection leaves abrasions, rash sores, even some lumps on my head. This shampoo works very well. It relieves itch. Of course its temporary. The disease is not cured yet. But it removes some every shampoo and relives the itch enough to not lose my mind. I have bought dozens of items for hair, scalp and skin. This one works well. I plan to keep using it even after the infection is gone. The tar smell goes away fast. I recommend this highly. How did I get this deadly infection? Front End loaders, washers and dryers. They had no ability to clean themselves.. Buy clothes, sheet, pillow cases, towels, and much more had to be disposed of. The machines were buoying up bacteria, mold and fungas in them. There is NO safe brand of these. Get rid of them. I( drilled holes in mine and pounded out the controls with a hammer and screwdriver so the used appliance dealers would not retrieve them from the junk yard. Years back all the manufacturers were sued in a class action suit. EVERY brand with NO exceptions. You can google this. I did not notice my notification on it. It was only 35.00 regardless. They admitted no wrong doing and no recall. On 20 million machines. I am fighting for my life now. Close to death several Times and pulled through. Get rid of them! Nothing is worth this. If you cannot buy new machines, rent to own. Settle for a cheap pair. I bought top loaders and they have a huge barrel in them like the front loaders do. The deadly things growing in the machines were both in the washers and the dryers. Get rid of them. I have been sick now 15 months. Often can barely walk. I will answer any questions you send.

I have white towels and I've never had the shampoo discolor my towels after leaving my hair wrapped up in a towel for a long time. **Q: Porque lo an retirado del mercado** A: es fuerte, y se escama el cuero cabelludo **Q: How is the smell compares with neutrogena t-gel, does it have the same tar fragrance ? is the smell stroger or weaker ?** A: The smell is the active ingredient coal tar. I have been using this for a month now and the smell is slightly less pungent. This product works as well as the Neutrogena. **Q: The product description reads 0.5% coal tar but the pictures say 2.5%. Which is it? Very misleading** A: Coal tar cannot be added directly to the product and must be mixed in as an extract. The product contains 2.5% Solubilized Coal Tar Extract which amounts to 0.5% total Coal Tar. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works.

I have used the name brand tar shampoo for years and picked this up to try since it is significantly cheaper. It is almost as good as the name brand at a significantly lower cost. Why do I say almost? Well, it smells the same and has the same drying feel to the hair (use a good moisturizing condition or even a different shampoo on the ends of your hair). BUT the shampoo is just a little less thick than the name brand and doesn't seem to have an effect that lasts as long. With the name brand shampoo, I can wash my hair with it every other day - sometimes even go three days without washing with the tar shampoo before the itching starts to come back. With this shampoo, I start itching before the end of the second day without using it and definitely can't go three days without using it. So, while it is cheaper per ounce, I have to use more of it. I'm likely to go back to the brand name for that reason. However, if your problem is not as severe as mine (for instance, you only need to use the brand name once or twice a week), this might be good for you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/91058996-true-real-therapeutic-plus-tar-gel-anti-dandruff-shampoo-original](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/91058996-true-real-therapeutic-plus-tar-gel-anti-dandruff-shampoo-original) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
