Neutrogena T/Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis, 4.2 fl. oz

If you need to get rid of Psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis this is the shampoo for you. Does not smell great, but works like a miracle.

My Story: I have relaxed hair that is about midback length and my scalp had never really given me any problems. UNTIL THIS PAST SUMMER THAT IS. I went from having pretty much no scalp irritation to having an extremely itchy and flaky scalp. I'm still not sure what triggered the issue, but my mom does have seborrheic dermatitis so maybe it finally kicked in for me. ANYWAY, my scalp had gotten to the point where I was afraid to touch my hair in public, lest some flakes loosen themselves and I spent my first month of school wearing my hair pinned up (after being carefully arranged and inspected for visible flakes at home). As you can expect, this grew old very quickly. So I started searching for a solution and I stumbled upon the review page for this product. I was kind of worried about my hair drying out, but I couldn't deal with my scalp situation for much longer so I went ahead and ordered. Now, to further emphasize how uncomfortable my scalp was, I need you to understand something. I only wash my hair once a week during the weekends because it takes a couple of hours to wash/condition/dry and I'm swamped with school/work during the week. BUT my scalp was so uncomfortable that I ended up washing my hair shortly after the shampoo arrived in the middle of the week. That's how serious it was. AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT. While I was washing my hair, I felt the shampoo tingling against my irritated scalp during the first wash. After gently scrubbing my scalp (note that I said my scalp, not my hair-I will explain this later) for the first round of shampooing, I applied a second round of shampoo to my scalp and left it on for a few minutes before rinsing and applying a moisturizing shampoo & conditioner. It has been almost a week and my scalp feels amazing. I have pretty much no flakes (I've seen maybe two small ones? and I think they were just random remnants that got lost in my hair) and my scalp is itchy no longer. Plus I CAN WEAR MY HAIR DOWN AGAIN. Summary:If you are tired of dealing with scalp issues, I definitely recommend that you give this a try. Based off of how much I used, I imagine that the bottle will last me 2-3 months (with 1 wash/week). If you are worried about your hair being dry after using this here are some tips- 1) Don't apply this shampoo to the length of your hair. Inevitably, there will be some run off when you are rinsing, but during your actual application try to concentrate on putting the T-gel on your scalp. When I was done with my two rounds of the T-gel, I did one wash with my regular moisturizing sulfate-free shampoo that I applied to the length of my hair. 2) Make sure you use a good conditioner with this product. I used my usual Motions Herbal Fortifying Conditioner and I left it in for between 30 to 40 minutes like I usually do. After these these steps, I went through my regular routine (leave-ins etc.) and I experienced no dryness. The smell of the t-gel is almost like a spicy herbal smell, but it was tamed by my conditioners.

I suffer with a flaky scalp. I have tried everything you can imagine and nothing helps or is consistent. This is my go to shampoo when my scalp is flaky. It has helped so much that my scalp is not as flaky as it once was. I see a lot of people do not like the smell which is understandable. It doesn’t bother me too much and isn’t so overpowering that I can’t get through my washes. I would say use your regular shampoo as well afterwards to help ease the smell. Overall this is a great product and it is worth the price.

I'd been struggling with a desperately itchy scalp, and bits of skin flaking off when I scratched (no dandruff though) for around a year or so. Head and Shoulders wasn't doing anything, so after doing some research I picked out this shampoo to try. After maybe only two washes my scalp stopped flaking entirely, which was great. And it did soothe the itchiness somewhat, but didn't make it go away for good - I'd still get itchy again within a few hours. Ended up going to the doctor and getting prescription shampoo and it worked like a charm for the itchiness. I'd suggest giving this shampoo a go, it might work for you, but if symptoms persist, go to your doctor or dermatologist. The cost if insurance doesn't cover it all is annoying, but the peace of mind is worth it. Yes, the shampoo does smell like rubber. Yes, it's pretty strong. But like other reviewers have said, the smell doesn't linger in your hair, so you yourself won't smell rubbery post-shower.

I've had scalp issues since I was a kid, I've tried over 10 different medicated shampoos over the years and found T-Gel to be the best. Not thrilled by the smell, but its not a problem given that if fixes my scalp issues.

A dermatologist recommended this, and I've been using it off and on for years ever since. The only thing that has changed is the fragrance - it is stronger than ever, but the tar is now somewhat masked by heavier fragrance. This is not a complaint, though. Just a fact worth noting; the fragrance definitely lingers long after my hair is dry. There are better scents out there, but T-Gel is so effective that it is forgivable. When the itching and flaking flare up I'll use this as my only shampoo for 2-3 weeks. I wash my hair about every other day, lest this stuff turn my hair to straw. It is very concentrated, so I use only a conservative amount (less than a silver dollar) and really work it into my scalp - think vigorous scrubbing with fingernails. Leave it on a few minutes, rinse, and then repeat once more. The relief and reduction in flakes and itching are immediate. Also, even though my scalp is on the oily side, I always use a very strong conditioner (I swear by L'Oréal's Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture) on the ends ONLY and leave it on for a good couple minutes before rinsing. With T/Gel shampoo, a conditioner is a must, especially for long hair. I've tried Head & Shoulders, Selsun Blue, Kerastase Dandruff, Paul Mitchell Tea Tree...you name it. They all smell lovely, but none of them come close in efficacy to T/Gel. Can't live without this.

I have a lot of thick Asian hair and I have dandruff and occasional psoriasis that comes and goes. My psoriasis got irritated during the transition into summer so I decided to try special shampoo. I saw this one had a lot of reviews so I got the small one. Overall, it may have helped my psoriasis (I say may because I ended up altering some of my eating habits and my sleeping pattern changed which could have affected the results) but my dandruff has persisted. I was warned of the smell and man did it smell! I know some people mentioned the scent wasn't that strong but for the first 3 uses, it was very potent most likely because I have nothing that smells remotely like this. However, after using it around five times I came to expect the powerful scent. I didn't mix this shampoo with any of my other shampoos, and in the beginning of the week I only used the shampoo and not any conditioner. I only wash my hair about three to four times a week and I can usually spot flakes by the second day of not washing. After using the shampoo for a little over a month I still see little flakes, but my hair is a lot shinier. I was surprised by how shinny my hair was after the first few washes. Overall, this product seems to have helped my psoriasis but for some reason my dandruff persists. I would recommend getting the smallest size and trying it out for a month or so just in case it doesn't work for you.

So I guess this qualifies as an "off label" use but i use this primarily on my face to treat acne breakouts. In fact what I really like to do is squeeze out some of the T/Gel into a cup and then add a few drops of tea tree oil. Then i apply the gel to my face and let it sit for about 10 minutes before getting in the shower. That works well on my skin but everyone is different. As for the smell I really like it for some reason. Then again I always liked the smell of gasoline, turpentine, freshly paved roads, etc. If those are unpleasing smells to you then this might not be your shampoo. For me coal tar, or something else in the bottle, certainly SEEMS to help keep my skin clear. I never really had bad dandruff so I can't evaluate it on that basis. On the downside 4 oz goes really fast. I can use an entire bottle in 2 weeks if I'm showering regularly (you are supposed to apply, rinse, apply, rinse). Lastly, it is only .5% coal tar so I'm not too concerned about using it pretty liberally.

From chronic to mild dandruff issues, it works on every type of scalp. It isn't as harsh or abrasive as other options available in this range of products and is suitable for most hair and scalp types. Helped me get rid of my dandruff in just 3 washes.

Works well with the first use. Need to continue to use consistently to have the full effect. Can make skin dry around the face so ideally switch up with other shampoos or use moisturiser after as it could depend if the ingredients can be sensitive as it is for myself.

When my prescription shampoo after a year didn’t make a difference I tried the T-gel and was very impressed. I noticed an immediate difference with the itchiness and after a few shampoos the scaly patches were greatly diminished. In less than two months the dry patches were pretty much gone. For some reason I can’t find this in stores anymore. Probably one of the weird COVID shortages. It was a good deal more expensive here but the only place I could get it. Even at the higher price it’s worth it. And it does last a long time. I do highly recommend it.
