This stuff works! It smells like literal ASSphalt and the smell unfortunately takes days to leave my hair, even after washing. But this shampoo put in work and dissolved my scales in 5ish minutes. I've added it to my routine, usually use it every few weeks for buildup, and a salicylic shampoo once a week for maintenance. Seems to be working so far!

If you suffer from scalp psoriasis, give this a try. It really works! Psoriasis cleared up after a week using this and itching stopped.

I have used this product for about 25 years for plaque psoriasis on my scalp. This, along with a prescription solution has kept it manageable. The new formula doesn't seem to work as well, although, today I used it with a scalp brush and it seemed to work more like it used to. I wash my hair every 2-3 days, so hopefully I'll see more progress in the next few days.

I’m not a stranger to tar based shampoos. I’ve been using them for the better part of 20 years. TGel was always my go to and honestly I’m about to drop the $60-$70 after this experience. I knew it would smell. Between the reviews and past experiences I knew it would. I was not prepared for the gagging event that just took place in my shower as I attempted to wash my hair with this liquid motor oil tire rubber paint smelling concoction that came out of this bottle.Did it work? I couldn’t begin to tell you because that one experience was enough for me to never use it again. I would rather suffer with the itchy psoriasis on my scalp than ever use this again.I fear that it is going to take me a lifetime to get this smell off of my hands just from trying to contain the liquid long enough to get it in my hair. It literally runs out of the bottle like water. I can’t even begin to imagine the length of time for my hair to smell even remotely decent again.Edit to addThe towel I used to dry my hair I had to wash multiple times to get the smell out.The vomit worthy smell of my hair stuck around for days…DAYS after just once use.My pillow case… yup just threw that away.

Best shampoo I have used for a 10 year battle with scalp psoriasis. Tried everything else. THIS ONE WORKS!!!

Seems to do the job, BUT....So watery/hard to control and THE SMELL!!It's not nice. Doesn't seem to linger long but out of the tube.......Decent product but not sure why they can't get the consistency better and/or add some fragrance.....

Husband uses it 2-3x per week. It works but doesn't smell nice. Great price, cheaper than grocery chains

This shampoo is the ONLY product to give my scalp relief from flakes and itchiness. I’ve tried products with zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, ketoconazole, and selenium sulfide. I’ve tried medicated creams, oils, sprays, shampoos and conditioners. Nothing has given me relief until now.It does not smell good at all. But the trade off is well worth it.
