DHS Tar Gel Shampoo Scented 8 oz

I used this for years because it’s doctor recommended for my psoriasis and it works great!

It's awesome. Smells like medicated shampoo with a touch of lemon. Little goes LONG way.

Very useful features

Like a lot of people I'd imagine, I was looking for an alternative to Neutrogena T-Gel now that it's discontinued, & saw people talking about this one in a Reddit thread. I have to say, I think it's actually better than t-gel. I have seborrheic dermatitis, so my dandruff is more of the thick, oily dandruff that tends to be patchy & builds up. This does a better job at clearing that up, & it lasts longer between washes not only for the flakes/buildup, but also with my hair getting oily. Usually with the t-gel, I'd get about 2-3 days before the buildup & greasiness would get bad (I try not to wash my hair everyday), but with this I get about 4-5 days. I'm only giving it 4 stars because it doesn't eliminate the flakes entirely, but to be fair, I don't think anything would.

This straight up smells like asphalt in a bottle. Not a slight smell. It is potent. It smells like the exact smell when someone has their driveway done, and you put the liquid form from this bottle onto your scalp and wait a few minutes. Hence the “coal tar.” I am currently on the step of waiting a few minutes but I just thought there should really be a review that points to the very potent smell. Guess I’ll find out if it works and update after.
