Review: Highly Recommended! - This shampoo is invaluable to me. It clears my scalp problems and even clears my skin when used as a body wash. Good price. Highly recommended!
Review: It works the best for scalp issues; been around forever! - This is the best stuff ever for dandruff, psoriasis, eczema, etc. Same formula my grandpa used to use 50 years ago. A simple product, been around for decades, still works amazingly, and it is tried and true. I am sensitive to a lot of products, but not this one! It does have a unique odor. I personally like it because it reminds me of grandpa. Most people don't mind it and it does fade when hair is dry. However, some people can't stand it, so buy small sample first!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this shampoo have added fragrance? like, a floral smell? i don't mind the coal tar smell, but i hate floral/shampoo fragrances.**
A: it does not have a floral fragrance.  Smells the same as T-Gel, the brand name coal tar shampoo that it is supposed to replace.  Looks the same, formulation is the same.  I'm very happy with the product.

**Q: Does this contain fragrance?**
A: It is definitely not fragrance-free. It has a somewhat medicinal fragrance.

**Q: Does this contain fragrance?**
A: Yes

**Q: What is a good non-irritating shampoo to use in addition to this, for those who wash daily?**
A: You could alternate Pantene shampoo with this, but I wouldn’t use both of them together.
