Neutrogena T/Gel Extra Strength Therapeutic Shampoo with 1% Coal Tar, Anti-Dandruff Treatment for Long-Lasting Relief of Itchy, Flaky Scalp due to Psoriasis & Seborrheic Dermatitis, 6 Fl Ounce

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! LolEdit 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.

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% clearedits 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.

YOU HAVE TO GET THISI have had dandruff for like 10 years and I also had redness and flaking around the nose and mouth and it was annoying and terrible. Dandruff on my hair was everywhere and it’s annoying asf. I’ve tried all the shampoo and head and shoulder literally does nothing so don’t use that at all. At first I thought this product didn’t work but I would say about 5-6 times of use then I saw that there was NO DANDRUFF AT ALL. This product is magic and it worked great for me. Also to the people complaining about the smell, for me I could care less about what it smells like because at some point you’ll get so frustrated with dandruff that you’ll put anything to get rid of it. You’ll only need to use for at least 2-3 weeks and won’t have to use it again. MAKE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PILLOW SHEETS AFTER EACH SHOWER. Also when using the shampoo I did it two times, so first add shampoo and lather it on and then wait like 5 min so wash your body then rinse and then do it again.also if you have redness and flaking around the nose and mouth just put some shampoo there but try to avoid getting it in your mouth .Enjoy not having this crap again.

I have short straight Asian hair. I have been having dandruff, and itchy, irritated scalp. I have tried three different anti-dandruff and seborrheic shampoons. I would say this one is the most effective after using each of the three shampoons exclusively (almost daily) for at least two weeks. My scalp is not itchy or irritated and with the least amount of dry scalp and flaky skin 24 hours from the last wash.The only drawback is the scent when you put it on first. I have not been able to get used to it yet after two weeks. But my partner does not seem to mind, and in fact, says it smells nice. So there is that. The scent of the tea tree shampoo is obviously better, but T-Gel works a little better.
