Like all coal tar formulas, thus doesn't have the best scent, but it's also not the worst. I am happy to put up with that because it does a nice job controlling my dandruff symptoms.

Amazing product. If you suffer from seborrheic dermatitis than this is life changing. My teen used this and within a week and it has cleared up. Gentle on scalp.

Holy moly, does this stuff stink! I have no idea why the product description mentions its "pleasant aroma," because its aroma is anything but. It smells like a freshly paved highway on a hot summer day. That said, I love its lightweight, soft lather. I just used it for the second time today and so haven't yet noticed any discoloration of my hair, and I can't yet tell if it's helping heal the small patches of seborrheic dermatitis I've been fighting for a couple years now. Time will tell. Plug your nose!

This shampoo definitely helped minimize my horrible seborrheic dermatitis. It did start to stain my light blonde hair overtime though so be aware of that if you have light hair. The smell is weird, it truly smells like tar, but you get used to it. Use a good smelling conditioner on top.

I hope this shampoo continues to work as well as it has in the short time that I have been using it. So far, so good! I'm a bit skeptical because I've been down this road so many times. This is my last attempt at getting my dry, flaky scalp under control before going to see a derm.

Started using this on my son and I am so glad I did! I have tried everything to get rid of his psiorsis on his scalp. This is the only thing that has helped! Scent isn't as bad as some of the others Tar shampoos.

My boyfriend suffers from severe dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis in his scalp with big red flaky patches. He was getting embarrassed about it and his hair was even thinning in some places because of it but this stuff has really helped him unlike regular dandruff shampoo you get at Walmart. The redness and inflammation has dramatically improved. It doesn't smell like a dozen roses because it is tar based but it works and that is what counts! Make sure to leave it in a few minutes before rinsing.

Years ago my doctor recommended using this product for psoriasis. About a month ago I needed something new for my scalp and remembered this so I ordered two bottles of it. So far it is working well with my prescription that I use. The itching is not as bad as it was so I am very thankful for this product.

I had dry scaly patches on the back of my head that would itch terribly and dry skin would flake off every time I would scratch it. I tried just about every dandruff/dry scalp shampoo out there and none worked until I found this Tar Gel Shampoo. Please understand that you must be patient with this product. My psoriasis on the back of my head was pretty bad so it took about a month to completely clear up. I use it daily and could not be happier with the results! No more scratching and Flakes!

I've used for years and works great to help maintain psoriasis on my scalp. I have super sensitive skin and it is good for that also.
