FAQ
Can this shampoo be used on dry scalp?
It is recommended to use after washing the scalp with water to ensure the coal tar solution can effectively interact with the skin. For dry scalp, it is best to use in combination with a moisturizing conditioner after rinsing.
Is the coal tar in this shampoo safe for long-term use?
The 4% coal tar concentration is within the standard range for scalp treatments. Long-term use should be monitored, and users are advised to consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist or worsen.
Does this shampoo cause any staining or odor?
Coal tar may leave a slight residue or odor, which is normal. It does not typically stain hair or clothing. The smell may be noticeable but fades after use.
Stewart Jackson –
Used this shampoo for my mother who has severe dandruff and psoriasis. After two weeks, the scaling reduced significantly and the scalp felt less itchy. It’s effective but needs to be used regularly for best results.
Austin Gibson –
My 14-year-old son has seborrheic dermatitis. The shampoo helped reduce flaking and redness. It’s a bit strong at first, but after a few uses, the scalp feels calmer. Would recommend for chronic scalp issues.
Leonard Graham –
It works for mild dandruff, but the smell is strong and the texture is not very pleasant. Not ideal for daily use, but useful during flare-ups of scalp conditions.
Edward Campbell –
After using this shampoo for three weeks, my scalp has been much less itchy and the flakes are almost gone. The 4% coal tar seems to be effective for managing psoriasis symptoms.

Good for treating eczema on the scalp. It doesn’t dry out the skin like some other medicated shampoos. Still needs to be rinsed well to avoid residue.
