True+Real Coal Tar Therapeutic Plus Tar Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 0.5% Coal Tar, 16 Fl Oz, Original Strength

Had T-Gel recommended to me once ages ago as a kid for my dandruff. Lately head and shoulders has not been cutting it, so I went on the hunt for the T-gel I used to use. Somehow the brand stuff (Neutrogena I guess) is just outrageously priced and isn't widely available anymore from what I could find, so I landed on this product. Worked wonders after first use, just like I remember from my younger days when I used it. Still has the ick smell, so I just use some scented shampoo after use with this and then my hair smells fine. I use this about once every week or two for some dandruff patches on the front of my scalp and it keeps it in check.

The product is amazing at a fraction of the price of big box brands. I also think it's great it's run by women. I will be a lifetime customer to support these women. The smell isn't too bad for coal tar but people need to realize coal is not a pretty smell at all but the product works incredibly well for psoriasis. You can honestly compare this to Nutrogenas T gel which has been discontinued. THANK YOU T + R. YOU ARE AMAZING.

This is the only shampoo I can find ANYWHERE that gives as good of a clean as this does! I bought a smaller bottle of this years ago and used it only periodically, but never could find a shampoo that did what I needed it to… until I swapped back to this one!I love the smell of it and how well it lathers! You don’t need a while to get a good clean, either! It works well at keeping flakes away and is great for those with an oily scalp/hair! You won’t notice any difference in texture from your normal shampoo either! It’s a perfect viscosity and it doesn’t slide off your hand like overly watery shampoos. I’ve even noticed my scalp itches less than usual after having made the swap back to this product!I know some shampoo bottles are also really fragile to the point that, if you drop them, the cap breaks off or something internally breaks apart—not this one! Yeah, it’s plastic, but at least it’s not some CHEAP plastic!When I run out, I will be buying AGAIN! 11/10

This is a nice shampoo. It’s just about as effective as the brand name, maybe slightly less. The scent and color are almost identical but this one’s a bit thinner. It still helps a lot, though, with providing a deep clean that strips the buildup from your hair and helps with dandruff and soothes my psoriasis. I’d recommend it.

Having come from using Neutrogena's T Gel tar shampoo, I'm somewhat partial to its slightly fuller smell, but the price of this brand impresses, and my girlfriend is as happy or even more happy with this one, claiming that my hair now smells like a fresh walk in the garden, and that sounds pretty good, too. 🙂 As efficacy goes, I've never found that the itch relief has been substantial from either, but it at least seems no worse than the familiar brand on that front, and might be doing something benign for me. I'll take the wins, and it's always nice to be supporting a women owned and operated business, either way.

It's wonderful to find a True+Real product with the same ingredients as the original manufacturer at less than half the price. Why wouldn't I buy it? As a retiree, thank you for saving me important dollars.

Finally, something that works!! Please don't ever stop selling this.

It works. It really does. BUT....with a price. It says it right in the title, but you might think the scent is mild. Nah. It is seriously strong. I'm an idiot for not researching a little more. It has a very strong scent that didn't go away fully until I had washed my hair around five times over five days. It worked really well, but the scent gave me a massive headache, and my patients could smell it at work the next day so I felt like I had to explain why I smell like straight coal tar.
