MG217 Psoriasis Shampoo with Coal Tar, Therapeutic Scalp Treatment, Controls Itching, Scaling, Flaking, Scale Buildup, Psoriasis Scalp Treatment, .5% Coal Tar Shampoo and Conditioner, 8floz

The smell is pretty bad, like when my dad used to give the dogs a flea dip in the spring and summer. But it works really well. My husband’s scalp has been irritated and red, terribly flaky and itchy for quite a long time, but after using this a few times his scalp looks and feels much better. We actually cancelled a dermatologist appointment because there was not much for her to look at any more. It is stinky, but after you rinse your hair does not smell. It’s good, effective, the price is right, and I’m ordering a second tube.

O que uso

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.

I've tried a lot of different tar shampoos, and I like this one the best. It works if you leave it on for a good five minutes. You will feel relief. The only other tar shampoo that works for me is the DHS one, but this one costs significantly less and does the same thing.
