The reason the prices are so high is because this shampoo has been discontinued by the company that makes it, which is a shame because it works great unlike the other product they came out with to replace this shampoo with. Yes people are price hiking it up because Amazon allows it and it’s no longer easy to find in stores or online. If you find it in your local stores, buy all you can and hoard it because the prices on Amazon will just continue to go up. Sadly!

It works for my very greasy scalp

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

No more greasy itchy scalp. As far as moisturizing, or leaving your hair soft or shiny, it’s a no. My sister suffers from scalp psoriasis and says it has help improve her scalp psoriasis symptoms. I use for greasy scalp.

So the smell is awful but not puking awful. It’s bearable. On the other hand my kids say it stinks and that they can smell while I’m using it in the shower. My husband says he can smell it through the bathroom door too, but that when he smells my hair after my shower, the smell isn’t as strong. At first I hated the smell and I was going to give it 1 star, but after 9 weeks of using it, I honestly believe it’s worth 4 stars. Overall it does what it claims to do. A lot less flakes, like 98% less flakes and it really helps with my greasy scalp. I’ve tried many other shampoos for greasy scalp and they would end up drying my scalp causing it to flake and itch. I use this shampoo every 3rd wash and I wash my hair 3/4 times a week, depending on my scalp grease. I gave it 4 out 5 because the smell is very strong while you are washing it. Also the smell lingers in your hair for about 6 days (2 days of washing it with a different shampoo) but people won’t be able to smell it unless they get up close. I would recommend just using it once a week. I find that my Kirkland brand conditioner really helps to fade away the stink of this shampoo.
By the way, don’t use any other shampoo immediately after this shampoo. The first time I used this, I was horrified by the smell so I used my husbands head and shoulders shampoo to get the smell out, but sadly it didn’t. It left my hair very dry and my scalp extra flakey. Also the first time I used it, the fumes made my eyes water a little. I ended up using it a second time because it got rid of my next day greasy scalp. My hair doesn’t get as greasy anymore. Now that I’m using it by itself with no other shampoos immediately after, and then conditioning my hair, (about 3 inches away from my scalp) I don’t mind the smell. I will continue to use it.
One more thing, my sister says she found another shampoo that gives you the same results minus the smell and it’s called Dermatest PSORIASIS. She buys it at Walgreens. I’ll buy that one after I use this one up.

The smell though

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

So this legit smells like hot asphalt. Buttttt it does exactly what I needed it to. I waited to write a review until I had used it for a week or two.

My hair has been different since having kids. I dont know why and I dont know how. I had been trying dandruff shampoo and it never even made an impact. Then I got this like thick scaly section of scalp and my hair follicles hurt. I tried a clarifying shampoo that sort of maybe helped? Anyway, this stuff helped! Like I said, it smells like waiting for 15 minutes for some guy to change the sign to slow while they redo the roads. And anyone saying it doesn't is bonkers. Smell aside. First time I used it I freaked because when I rinsed it from my hair my hair felt like straw and I was like oh lord what did I do. But literally the second I put conditioner in it it was back to normal. I did spray some leave in conditioner in it too (mostly to combat the smell). So after my hair dried it looked and felt wonderful. The weird scaly part of my scalp is repairing itself and my hair follicles dont hurt. My scalp is not nearly as itchy as it was and I'm not seeing much if any flaking. It's a pretty large bottle and not a very thick shampoo.

The takeaway:
Yes, it smells, you'll smell it off and on all day.
Yes, it works fantastically.

Personally I'll live with the smell, I might even grow accustomed to it. It's worth it.

There's no gimmick here, this shampoo works!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm familiar with Coal Tar products as I've used a coal tar ointment in years past for psoriasis on arms legs and torso.

I've found no shampoo that works well for the scalp though and have tried, Selsun and Head/Shoulders products and others.

Cot tar works by reducing skin cell production which in Psoriasis, skin cell production accelerates to product excess skin cells and cause the flaking and redness we all know all to well if we have this condition.

After just using the first time, the results were VERY noticeable and scalp itch and general flaking was reduced dramatically to the point where I did not notice it at all.

I use this Neutrogena every other day and only need to shampoo once allowing it to remain on my scalp for 2 minutes or more before rinsing. Other users might need to shampoo twice as this is what is directed on the label.

The scent is not that bad at all. Coal Tar is by nature a petroleum byproduct and has that similar smell like fuel oil or diesel fuel, although not anywhere as intense as those.

Neutrogena does it well here by masking that order as well as possible using a mild fragrance that is pleasing and not overwhelming and does not leave you smelling like you are wearing aftershave or perfume.

I'm sold on this and as long as I can use this and it is available, it is the best way to naturally (no Rx!!!) get control and relief of scamp issues due to skin disorders that produce itchy and flaking scalps.

5 Stars all around for this product!

Excelente producto

Cumple con su función, excelente para la dermatitis seborreica grasa o seca y la psoriasis de piel cabelluda. Había intentado varios shampoos dermatológicos y no me hacían tan bien efecto a comparación de este desde la primera aplicación. Como ventaja es que su aplicación se limita a dos veces a la semana, a comparación de otros que requiere de uso diario las primeras semanas para hacer su efecto. En su contraparte, tiene de desventaja que huele fuerte y no agradable pero yo lo uso los días que se que estaré en casa y no me molesta el olor

Increíble!

Reviewed in Mexico on July 14, 2022

Había estado batallando algún tiempo con la caspa y no sabía cómo tratarla, así que en la búsqueda de un tratamiento me encontré con esta opción y decidí darle una oportunidad.
Ha sido la mejor opción! Me encanta la sensación de limpieza que deja en el cabello, no me deja el cabello reseco o tieso cuando acabo de bañarme como algunos otros shampoos para la caspa. Eso sí, lo uso 2-3 veces por semanas como indica el envase y también 2 veces por semana aplicó una mascarilla para el cabello para mantenerlo suave.
El olor es algo fuerte, pero a mí en lo personal no me molesta y hasta me gusta jaja si no te agrada el olor, creo que puedes usar una pequeña cantidad de otro shampoo para que se elimine el olor un poco.
Me gustó el precio porque se me hizo económico a comparación de otros que son del mismo precio y contienen menos cantidad.
