MG217 Psoriasis Shampoo with 3% Coal Tar, 8 floz, Anti Dandruff and Seborrhei...

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 — 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 — the most troublesome spots were completely clear and the major redness I had was a dull red, almost pink. I’m so relieved. After reading about usage online it does say it’s 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 didn’t help the smell at all. So while I’m definitely walking around with an invisible gas cloud, it’s a step in the right direction. If you’ve read this far… don’t give up, you will find a product that works for you, even if it smells like gasoline.

This shampoo is the ONLY product to give my scalp relief from flakes and itchiness. I’ve tried products with zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, ketoconazole, and selenium sulfide. I’ve tried medicated creams, oils, sprays, shampoos and conditioners. Nothing has given me relief until now. It does not smell good at all. But the trade off is well worth it.

This is 3% coal tar which is good but it is smelly. I had a bad flare up and decided to try this. It helped but man the smell. I have used coal tar shampoo on and off for 40 years. This is the strongest I remember. Washed my hair, rinsed and repeat leaving the second lather on for about 15 minutes under a shower cap. This softened the scales and most were removed after a rinse and a comb through with a wide tooth comb and another rinse. Applied conditioner to ends and rinsed. Same night I rolled over in bed and could smell the tar shampoo on my pillow. I was surprised the smell transferred. Two days later I washed my hair with regular shampoo and still couldn't get the smell out. My husband said he could only smell it if he was right next to me. I was meeting some old school friends and there was bound to be hugging so I was desperate to get the smell out. I used Dawn dishwashing liquid followed by a vinegar rinse. Then a day later a wash with regular shampoo and a deep conditioner. I will use this only when I have a bad flare-up. Good product but not for everyday use unless you are a loner. ;)

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.

Very good, you can see the effect very quickly

It may work for some, but did not for me. It irritated my scalp, and the smell was pretty strong.

Works great. Makes hair feel soft and clean.

This works
