Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo Original Formula, Anti-Dandruff Treatment for Lasting Relief of Itching Flaking Scalp as a Result of Psoriasis & Seborrheic Dermatitis, 2 x 8.5 fl. oz

I got this next day and was willing to pay extra and it was beyond worth it. Ive used items such as head and shoulders, prescription ketazole, and whatever other brands i could get my hands on for my severe flaking. during the wintry dry months my scalp gets very dry, and i have very overactive oily glands. this resulted in severe flakes across my entire scalp, the top part of my forehead and in/around my ears. nothing was working and decided to try this based on reviews. this thing cleared my issue upwards to 85% in about 4 straight days. the first day was night and day. half of it was gone and i didnt wake up with severe flakes. the next day used it again, it cleared it even more. third straight day it was nearly done working. by the fourth day it was essentially 90% cleared its not 100% but its been 2 weeks and out of 14 days ive only used it about 6-8 days, the first four nights (4) then every other day after than (another 4). whatever is in this stuff or whatever this stuff uses - it worked like a miracle. i could actually say i can confidently go out without people noticing a single dry flake on my head because it works that good. the scent is strong but you get used to it. the value is great. and the moisturizing isnt that good but its well enough you can use it everyday and you will notice it will not dry out the hair like other shampoos do. just read other reviews suggestions about good moisturizers and using this on and off sparingly to keep the flakes away. this thing is well worth every penny and im so glad i took a chance on this. it turned me into neutrogena fan.

Ok so this smells so freaking awful. But like it works!!! I noticed a dramatic decrease in the flakes in my hair after the first use. The large flakes we mostly gone and there were a few small ones left. After my second use about 2 days later, there were the occasional small flakes left. But like so little that no one would notice it unless they were trying really hard. And I have black hair! I also noticed how soft my hair was after my first use. In addition, by my second use, I realized that I hadn’t lost as much hair as I usually do (in the shower and out). The first time I left it in my hair for about 5 min. The second time I left it in about 10 min. After rinsing it out, I followed the advice of another reviewer and used a different shampoo and then a conditioner (Renpure coconut fragrance) to try to drown out the smell. With the conditioner I left it in for at least 5 min and it helps. I think I can still smell it slightly, but it’s not as over powering without the extra steps. After a several more uses, I think I’ll be able to switch to the regular strength one for once a week. We’ll see how that goes. Anyway, I’m so thankful someone recommended this to me because I actually don’t feel so self conscious about my hair now when I’m out in public. I used to be so embarrassed about my hair. The awful smell is worth it! Lol Edit 3/15/2020: used the product for the third time (about 5 days since the second use). It still works great! Barely any flakes noticed, but afterward I also noticed I was losing more hair again (about the same amount as before I started using this product). But to be fair, I did only leave it in for only about 5 min (compared to the 10 min on my 2nd use) because I was pressed for time. So that may have played a role or maybe the length of time between use played a role or maybe it was just pure good timing that i lost less hair in the 2nd use.

The product solved my head skin itch. I love it, and would like to buy it again.

I use the Neutrogena T/Gel Extra Strength Therapeutic Shampoo with 1% Coal Tar to treat my seborrheic dermatitis. I don't have a severe case, and only need to use it twice a month. (mine is like cradle-cap in infants). It works! I have naturally curly, 3B/3C hair. I use this only on my scalp, since that is the area I am treating. I wet my hair and scalp, then massage this to my scalp. I use a different shampoo for the length of my hair. I let this sit in my hair for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse out. If I need to wash my hair again, I use my regular shampoo. I only use this on my scalp because I've found this shampoo is too harsh on the length of my hair, and dries it out leaving it brittle and harder to manage. I also don't want to waste the product, since in all fairness, it is meant to treat scalp conditions. This method has worked for me! I haven't tried it myself, but I have also heard you can use this to treat seborrheic dermatitis on the face, (around the nostrils, and on the eyebrows and forehead) which I also have had in the past. Do a test patch first. I keep this stuff on hand!
