## Description

Extra strength dandruff shampoo controls the symptoms of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. This shampoo provides long-lasting relief from flaking and itching.

Review: “Real relief for your scalp” - True+Real Coal Tar Therapeutic Shampoo is an effective and affordable option for those suffering from persistent scalp conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, or severe dandruff. Its active ingredient, 0.5% coal tar (equivalent to 2% in other formulations), has been clinically proven to reduce flaking, relieve itching, and decrease inflammation. From the first application, you can notice a significant reduction in itching and dryness, and with consistent use (2 to 3 times per week, as directed), your scalp begins to look healthier, with fewer visible flakes. It also has an easy-to-apply texture and lathers well enough to distribute evenly. As with most coal tar shampoos, its scent is somewhat strong and distinctive, but this is to be expected with a therapeutic product of this nature. Some people may also notice a temporary darkening of light or color-treated hair, so it is recommended to rinse well and alternate with a cosmetic shampoo if desired. Highlights: ✔ Effectively relieves itching and flaking. ✔ Good value. ✔ Dermatologically approved formula. What could be improved: ✘ Strong, medicinal scent. ✘ Can dry out hair if not used with an appropriate conditioner. ✘ Not recommended for prolonged daily use without medical advice. Conclusion: True+Real Coal Tar Therapeutic Shampoo is an excellent alternative for those looking to effectively manage scalp conditions without overspending. Ideal for intermittent treatments and as part of a dermatologically supervised routine.
Review: smells strong, but very effective - I have been using the extra strength Equate brand for several years, and this appears to be identical, judging from the back labels and actual results. It keeps the eczema at bay by slowing scale formation and I alternate with salicylic acid shampoo which breaks down the scale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smell is Strong
*by D***E on January 10, 2026*

Will rid Dandruff but as for those tiny bumps on scalp not so much. I just purchased Selsun Blue it worked great. What I don't like of this product is the smell, you will smell like a roadway paver of that asphalt smell, must come back with a better smelling product or have ones look at you as you past them by.
