Anti-Flake Relief Shampoo

Great product if you suffer with very dry scalp.

I have been using this for 5 years, it is the only anti-dandruff shampoo that works for me. Clears up my very severe dandruff in a week or two and then doesn't return as long as I use it 2 times a week. expensive but you get peace of mind,

I've dealt with flaky scalp (mostly near my forehead area) my entire life. As a tween i began trying everything. From head & shoulders & neutrogena, to higher-priced salon-only shampoos. I've tried raw egg, i've tried an oil i concocted myself from essential oils & jojoba when i worked in a natural bath & skincare store (that helped a lot but was nonetheless OIL and didn't get rid of it fully). THIS SHAMPOO IS THE ONLY THING that works. I'm pretty sure it's the blend of both the coal tar (which I'll grant you, isn't the healthiest solution but it's the one that works), and the zinc, as well as the other essential oil ingredients. I only use it in the front of my hair. I wet it all, apply a little, then other shampoo to the rest of my hair & rinse. Then reapply & really get it rubbed into my scalp (it of course lathers much better the 2nd time) and let it sit for 3-5 minutes while I scrub the rest of my body, then rinse & condition. i've found i DO have to do it twice, or it doesn't really 'take'. But I never have flakes. Ever. Until I have to wash my hair and I'm without it. It IS a little drying to my chemically treated hair, but not bad at all (my hair is long, fine & there's 2 tons of it, so i need all the moisture i can get). But that's why I use another shampoo on the rest of my hair (as well as the fact that it's coal tar, I try to minimize how much of my scalp absorbs that). FYI the II version DOES NOT WORK for me AT ALL. It's so hard to find this original version & I pray they make it forever!!

I’ve had scalp psoriasis for 40 years, since I was a kid. This is a godsend. It works and whilst it’s got a herby, slightly medicinal smell, it’s nothing like the orange creosote shampoos I remember from my youth. It’s expensive, but so effective that a bottle lasts me a long time, as I can use normal shampoo inbetween bad bouts. I’ve got coloured hair and can testify this is colour safe. I rarely write reviews, but can’t praise this enough.

Would previously have given this product 5* but I think the formula has been changed, colour and viscosity has changed and it is taking longer for the desired result.
