Disgusting⦠but effective!
Just used this product for the first time today. The smell is absolutely horrid and definitely not great for people affected by strong smells or asthma â I am both of these and struggled to get through my shower and needed to use my inhaler afterwards. HOWEVER. THIS NASTY STUFF WORKS! I powered through my shower and was actually so impressed when I dried off and checked my scalp. The Psoriasis flakes and redness were totally subdued and any flakes that remained were just sloughing off in my hair â the most troublesome spots were completely clear and the major redness I had was a dull red, almost pink. Iâm so relieved.After reading about usage online it does say itâs better used specifically targeting the scalp and trying to minimize how much gets in your actual hair which is definitely easier said than done if you have longer hair. I used Native conditioner afterwards which smells great and unfortunately that didnât help the smell at all. So while Iâm definitely walking around with an invisible gas cloud, itâs a step in the right direction. If youâve read this far⦠donât give up, you will find a product that works for you, even if it smells like gasoline.

BE AWARE OF FORMULA CHANGE
Iâm extremely disappointed (actually Iâm REALLY effing pissed) that they changed the formula after so many years. My husband has found that this is the only product that eliminates his psoriasis on his scalp. He also has rosacea and this was the only product for the purpose of helping psoriasis that did NOT irritate his rosacea. In fact, if he used this shampoo on his face and in his beard, it would even help his rosacea.This company has now changed the formula to include eucalyptus and mint essential oils. Eucalyptus is a huge irritant to rosacea. The texture is completely different, itâs chunky now, the color is completely different, obviously the smell is completely different (like a sweet minty puke).So now anyone with rosacea and allergies to essential oils is completely screwed with no warning. My husband used this new formula and his face is breaking out in his rash and his scalp itches like crazy.Thank you for âfixingâ something that wasnât broken.Did they consult the doctors they claim recommend this? Or did they just want it to smell prettier?UPDATE:Now, my husband has be using this for 2 weeks while we try to find a replacement. And his psoriasis is BACK! Iâve added photos of his face where it can be seen. We have not shaved his head to prove my point, but Iâll let you know if he changed his mind on that. He is in absolute itchy agony on his head and chin.COME ON?! WTF?!PS. ZERO communication with the company as of yet. So they clearly donât care.

FORMULA CHANGE RUINED MY LIFE
I’m 99% sure all the positive reviews are for the original formula- don’t buy the new stuff. It’s worthless.After years of painful itching and cracking on my scalp and embarrassing scaling I tried this shampoo. It smelled like dog shampoo but it was instant relief and within a week I had the healthiest scalp I had ever had. For a year I lived a normal life without my scalp being a constant painful issue. CUE THE FORMULA CHANGE THAT RUINED MY LIFE. They changed it. It smells nice now but DOESN’T WORK. Cheap Head and Shoulders gives more relief at this point. I used the new formula for over a month hoping I just needed to wait for it to work all while my scalp was getting worse and worse. It’s cracked, flaking, itching, weeping and bleeding again.I’ll never use this formula/brand again and instead I’ll be hunting for some alternative. No other coal tar shampoo has worked like the original formula did though. So I’m not optimistic.I wish they had kept the OG stinky formula for those of us who needed it. I’m miserable now.

Works, smells horrible
This is a good alternative to Tgel that I use to use. It does however smell very, very strongly of tar. Tgel had a much less intense smell.

Incredibly strong odor
Itâs as effective as any other coal tar shampoo, but it smells like a tire fire. When I first used it, 2 hours later my wife thought I had been using paint stripper in the bathroom. My barber asked if I had been burning leaves. It seriously smells like turpentine mixed with mace.3 stars because it makes my head less itchy.

It works!
Pros:- It works! After only one shower!- If I use it every 3 days I have no issues whatsoever; no more beard flakes, no more itchy/painful scalp.- My beard is extremely soft after treating it with this.Cons:- Holy mother of god the smell. It smells like straight up gasoline.- I will probably develop some sort of cancer using this. It is COAL TAR. There is even a CA cancer warning on the label. (A related pro: my corpse will be beard flake free and look great.)- It does burn. To me, in a good way, like a strong peppermint shampoo, but yeah it’ll burn the whole time it’s on.So that’s it. I’ve used all manner of dandruff shampoos and oils, but they never really worked that well. To add to it, the smell was weird and medicinal, and it seemed to hang around for several hours after using them. Yes, this stuff also smells awful — like I’ve literally been drinking gasoline — but it doesn’t linger too long, and the product itself works really well. I contemplated knocking a star because of the smell, but ultimately decided against it. That should at least speak to the efficacy of this shampoo.Bottom line, I’ll be buying it again.

Works better than script
This works better than my prescription shampoo. There is not lingering smell and my hair doesn’t feel stripped afterwards.
