SALVE Cosalic Shampoo Solution (200 ml / 6.76 fl oz) Pack of 2 with Salicylic Acid & Coal Tar for Dandruff-Prone and Psoriasis-Prone Scalp

Salicylic acid and coal tar are two of the best medications for scalp problems, and this shampoo contains both.

The product is strong and if you leave it undiluted on your head it seems to over clean maybe as it does not control the problem. If you leave it on too short a time it does not control the problem. My "goldilocks" zone is about 90 seconds, just enough time to wash my remaining body. There are comments about the screw top. It comes with a plug, if you pierce the plug it is a squeeze bottle . I use a sharp knife and make a small x. An ice pick also works. This definitely works for me

The product works, however, be careful when opening the bottle as it is thin like water. I expected it to be thick like regular shampoo but it was not. Because the bottles are twist off caps with large holes for it to pour out, it wasn't really possible to pour it into your hand without wasting a bunch. So, we transferred it to an empty pop-top water bottle which released it slower and we could put it directly on our head.

Nice

It has a rubber plug under the cap. You have to poke a hole in to use it. But if you squeeze the bottle too hard it will pop out. It's a very poor design. I've wasted more than I used. I couldn't tell that it help my scalp psoriasis at all.

works good

Doesn't work

Very good 👍. Use only a small amount it works for me. Helps control itchy scalp

Very slow to work but finally feeling like I am getting a better result now,on second bottle now

I've been looking for a substitute for Alphosyl since it was discontinued. My psoriasis has become really bad since Alphosyl went out of production & I've used all the usual suspects without success. This product hasn't worked a miracle but its gradually getting things under control again. It comes sealed in a bottle with a thick stopper that needs to be pierced with a stiff pointed object to access the contents. Take your time making the hole so it doesn't squirt in odd directions. Its more of a thin lotion rather than like a regular shampoo, you don’t need a lot similar to Alphosyl. Don't expect miracles but it is definitely helping me after spending a fortune on other brands that in some cases made things worse. Hope it can work for you too.

I used this when I was in hospital with sepsis recently. My psoriasis had flared because my body was attacking itself. The problem with this 8s I didn’t know that the inner stopper didn’t have a hole in it. I pressed on the bottle and lost half of it instantly! Anyway as I spent several days in hospital I lost about another quarter of the shampoo. It is a very light liquid and seems to be lighter than water and it slops everywhere. You don’t even need to pour a little to get a lot out of the bottle. I don’t think I will be buying anymore of this. I don’t have one bottle left and will look at what the stopper in the top of the bottle doesn’t have a small hole in it. I might have to make my own hole. But whoever makes this stuff need to relook at the packaging of the bottles because for £20 you Almost lose a bottle of shampoo before starting. I only got this as Polytar wouldn’t arrive on time and of course Neutrogena Therapeutic shampoo is no longer available!

Given 4 stars, though would rather give 3.5 if that was an option. Great to have the 2 ingredients I'm looking for in the same product, though doesn't work quite as well as a mixture of the 2 shampoos I used previously (MG217 Coal Tar & MG217 Salicylic Acid Shampoos). The consistency of the shampoo is also quite thin, so you pour it into your hand and half of it falls on the floor. Also the bottle is a screw cap which is a bit of a pain rather than a squeeze bottle which would be a lot better.

Excellent product for years i have been looking for the write write product and know i got at last it's brilliant product no irritation people try it for self i thing it's brilliant product look forward to buying more soon Cheers
