Good bang for the buck tgel substitute.
Finding actual t-gel in a store has become hard for me as of late. This does a good job as a substitute it. Not quite as good for me, but very close, and it’s far less expensive, so it’s a very good bang for the buck.

Works Great.
Works just as well as the name brand. Sure it has a slight smell due to the active ingredient, but it’s worth it as it really works.

Excellent Medicated Shampoo
These is an excellent shampoo of you need a “coal tar” shampoo. This works for me unlike Head & Shoulders or Selsun Blue which use different techniques. Occasionally the bottle cap leaks. However, it is an excellent price point, and I keep older caps around in case I get a leaky cap. Good Pleasing Scent, Keeps my hair in good condition with the flaking and itching.

Good Product
Effective for itching, lathers well, but PU!! This stuff stinks to high heaven! Not too surprising since it’s got two of the worst smelling substances on the face of the earth – coal and tar. I am taking away one star because of the smell, but so far, it seems to really stop the scalp itch.

IT’S GREAT FOR DRY SCALP
I used to use Neutrogena but they decided to stop carrying the coal-tar product. I tried a couple of other brands before landing on this one, and this is the best alternative to Neutrogena. The smell is not too strong and definitely doesn’t linger after you’ve rinsed your hair. It really helps to calm down my itchy scalp and doesn’t dry your hair out. I highly recommend.

Does the job
I use this shampoo twice per week and it definitely stops the itching of.my scalp. No, it doesn’t smell good…it’s TAR! There is a warning that it can discolor light hair, mine is white and no problems yet. But it does the job. No added dryness. It doesn’t take much to lather nicely, so the expense to me is worth it.

Works well

Love the product, hate the push tab top
Great, effective shampoo! Will buy again. The worst thing about this is the top. Dispensing the shampoo is so difficult and extremely messy. Shampoo oozes from all around the push tab, making it slippery and hard to handle. Because of the poorly designed and flimsy push-in top, you wind up wasting the product. My only solution was to put the shampoo in a $1 plastic squeeze bottle. Not wasting product and is much easier to use.
