Pine Tar Shampoo for Seborrheic Dermatitis - 500ml Natural Dandruff Shampoo - Anti Dandruff Shampoo - Psoriasis Shampoo - Solution for Dry Itchy and Flaky Scalp Treatment

I bought this as common shampoo makes my scalp itch and flake due to scalp psoriasis. It works perfectly for what it is for and is the only shampoo I have tried that does not itch and actually helps. Yes, it does have a strong smell and on my first use this did bother me but after following the instructions and rinsing it very well I have found it is no longer an issue to have the smell linger in my hair.

Good quality shampoo for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, decent amount for the price, made with natural ingredients. I bought it for my husband and it seems to work well! His hair is shiny, soft and not greasy, without flakes. One drawback though is the smell of barbecue sauce, but it isn’t last long, you can smell it just during showers.

Like many with Seborrheic dermatitis I was shocked and taken by surprise at the decision by Neutrogena to stop making / selling our specialist T-Gel. The mission to find a good quality and affordable tar shampoo replacement lead me to this product. Naturally after nearly two decades using the same shampoo to keep the dreaded itching etc at bay there was a major apprehension at using something else. But it has all worked out ok... Because (drum roll) this works just fine (for me at least). So cutting to the important things: Pros: - It works just about as well as T-Gel, with no itching or scalp dry skin that I can notice. - It doesn't smell anything like as bad as some people are saying (although the ladies may not be as keen on the smell as men). Cons: - It does smell a reasonable bit of bonfire/burning wood, but it's really not terrible. Perhaps 40% pine and 60% bonfire. But it is NOT foul smelling, and I am becoming quite ok with it. - It doesn't lather up as well as T-Gel, so I think that even the large 500ml bottle won't last as long as a 250ml T-Gel bottle. It's a bit thinner and runnier compared to T-Gel. So get an Amazon subscription up and running to save yourself some money.

I suffer from scalp psoriasis and have managed it well before with the leading tar shampoo brand, however the price was the same as this product but for 150ml Vs this 500ml, it was a no brainer in terms of value for money. The shampoo obviously does have a strong tar smell to it. The closest smell I can describe this to is the smell of fire/smoke. The smell isn't unbearable but you need to be prepared that it's not a typical fruity shampoo smell. The product does lather up but not as much as mainstream shampoo. That said it does leave my hair (very short) nice and clean and doesn't leave it feeling to dry as long as it's rinsed off well. (Leave it in your hair/scalp 5 minutes before rinsing). For men I would recommend a good conditioner after use or some moisturiser if your hair is shaved like mine. It has certainly helped with my scalp psoriasis and have reduced the dryness and redness of the troublesome areas. Obviously the results and effectiveness will vary from user to user depending on your desired result but for a modest price for a large bottle, I would happily recommend that you try it.

I bought this as a polytar alternative. It soothes my scalp but is very strong smelling of pine. I can smell pine on my hair after it’s dry too, not overpowering but I’m aware of it. Will go back to polytar when I’ve finished this bottle.

Just wanted to say that this is a good product and does help with underlying dandruff. I use this as maintenance for my hair instead of treatment (Nizoral) and works well. The Coal Tar smell is not as strong or potent as described, to be honest I actually like the fresh pine smell. I use this 3-4 times a week and so far no one has noticed any strong smell from this shampoo. Will be buying more. Thank you.

This has the most disgusting smell which I can only describe as burnt hot dogs, no idea if it works as the smell was so awful it just went in the bin.

I had very itchy sculpt and my hair got greasy really quickly resulting in rapid hair loss. I’m allergic to popular shampoos from any grocery stores, however this shampoo solved all my problems. I heard of tar shampoos and their benefits, particularly in balancing hair Ph levels and this shampoo exceeded all my expectations. After about three washes my hair feels like I’m in my best youthful age again with strong, healthy, shiny hair. I love this product and grateful for developing such effective formula. P.S. I actually like how it smells. Many people said that it smells like BBQ sauce. There’s a tiny gist of it but for me it smells of pine bark, pine cones and birch tar soap. Most importantly for me, it smells NATURAL and after the wash doesn’t leave any strong lingering chemical smells. Highly recommend.

Habe die plötzlich Psoriasis/ Schuppen entwickelt und es war schrecklich wie es dauernd gejuckt hat. Musste wirklich so viele Produkte kaufen aus der Drogerie und Apotheke aber hat alles nichts geholfen! Dann hat mir Chat ein Produkt mit Teer empfohlen. Es dauert eine Weile bis es wirkt (mindestens 3 Tage dauerhafte Anwendung) aber jetzt ist es deutlich besser! Gott sei Dank... Schlimmster Geruch ever aber dafür kann das Produkt nichts so wie viele hier anscheinend denken. Es ist einfach Teer. Dann kauft eben kein Produkt mit Teer. Ich habe es nur 2h einwirken lassen und danach mit Shampoo ordentlich ausgespült. So komplett wird man den Geruch bei der ersten Wäsche aber trotzdem nicht los. Da muss man schon öfter waschen. Riecht wie als hätte man mehre Tage eine BBQ Party mit anschließendem Lagerfeuer gemacht. Tipp: am besten ein altes Handtuch um die Haare wickeln während es einwirkt. Dann riecht man es nicht mehr so stark. Also wer genauso verzweifelt ist wie ich mit seiner Kopfhaut Situation: Probiert es aus. Nase zu und durch!

Smells so bad like old moldy cheese

Es cierto que el olor es peculiar (como a madera quemada), pero no me resulta desagradable, solo raro. Me calma bastante el picor del eccema y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio (más cantidad por menos precio que los champús de farmacia).

Smells really bad

Excellent shampoo. Works great and stopped my itchy scalp. Highly recommend. C
