Neutrogena Therapeutic Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - 16 Fl Oz

Worked great. Does stink but it definitely was working

Muy bueno para las personas con psoriasis, les alivia y reduce muchísimo la picazón y el enrojecimiento.

I’m sorry to see this go. It was a great shampoo for my scalp.

I apparently used this product as a child but didn't remember it until I opened up the bottle. It has a very distinctive smell that you'll never forget. I assume that comes from the active ingredient of tar charcoal. I will just keep my review short and sweet and say that this product was for a time one of the only things that was able to calm my scalp when suddenly every big brand shampoo I owned began causing my head to break out into painful scabs. It doesn't smell particularly beautiful or floral like frilly Herbal Essences shampoos, for example, but I think that might be a good thing, as the frilly floral ones were causing my scalp to react. Even Head & Shoulders with pyrithione zinc was no longer soothing my skin. But I noticed an immediate difference in the way that my scalp felt after the first use of this T-Gel. In one week, everything had dried up and my scalp was healing nicely. You even become fond of its unique, earthy aroma. I continued to use this shampoo for a year or two, long after my scalp healed, as I was afraid of exacerbating another allergic reaction, but truth be told I actually just really liked this shampoo. I believe it recommends using it at least once a week, but I used it as frequently as every other day, or every two days, depending. I noticed this T-Gel also seemed to keep my oils under control, so I didn’t need to wash my hair as often. The only thing is that it is a gel, and lathering it into my long hair created a tangled mess. There is no accompanying cream rinse product that I know of, so I would follow it up with a conditioner applied to my ends, and there was no unpleasant allergic reaction for a time. Unfortunately, my scalp eventually seemed to become sensitized to T/Gel and it was at that point that I did my research and realized it actually contains irritating sulfates, despite being a shampoo for sensitive skin, so I had to switch to a sulfate-free shampoo (Argan Oil of Morocco), which has helped me recently. That being said, I still highly recommend this shampoo to anyone who is having some bad dandruff or allergic reactions but isn’t sure if the problem is sulfates. Unless you’re sure it’s a sulfate problem, this shampoo has a very therapeutic effect and could help you with breakouts. I will also say that it is not the most nutritive shampoo, so when I used it, I took to washing only my scalp and roots with the T/Gel. I’d then let it soak and go in with some other type of shampoo on the ends. I’d do the same with conditioner and avoid getting any products other than the T/Gel on my roots/scalp because for some reason my skin is just so sensitive in recent years. Like I said, if you try the T/Gel and it doesn’t help with your skin, try something sulfate-free.

Bought for my mother-in-law as was prescribed for her by a dermatologist and it worked for her.

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.

this is one of the best shampoos i have ever used for my scalp. my scalp used to be so god awful. there was huge flakes everywhere and id pick at them all the time whenever i was stressed which made it even worse. it was so embarrassing going out and having to wipe the flakes off my shoulders. it was so embarrassing having people point out the flakes in my hair. i honestly felt disgusting, but i tried out this product and before, i had previously tried nizoral. although nizoral helped me, it hadn't nearly helped me as much as this product has. this product flipped my life around and although i still have a few areas that are not completely cleared, i can confidently say that it has cleared up most of it and it is quite a holy grail. i feel so much better about myself, so much more confident. although the scent is a bit bad, its not intolerable and its not as bad as other drugstore shampoos i've tried. you can usually chase it away with your usual conditioner or even some hairspray. also the bottle is pretty good for the price and it has been about a month since i've had it but it's still going and it still has so much left. if you have as extreme flakes and scales as i had, please try out this product and give it some time. i hope it works for you as much as it has worked for me. best of luck.
