Therapeutic Plus Coal Tar Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Extra Strength 1%, for Seborrheic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Itching and Flaking Scalp, 6 Fl Oz, Pack of 1

This shampoo is a great option if you suffer from dandruff. Same Ingredients as the name brands but half the price. It doesn’t smell good but it treats dry scalp quickly! I incorporate this into my showers 2x weekly in the winter months and see great improvement with my scalp health.

This has been amazing. I used to work in dermatology and would get samples of T Gel and loved it. After I left, I would buy it at Walmart and it was somewhat pricy. Eventually it stopped being on the shelf. S Tal didn’t work for me. I went to a dermatologist to get Ketoconazole and that didn’t work. When I saw the Amazon brand I was skeptical because it was 1/4 the price of T Gel. 10/10 would recommend. It works so well for me and I am grateful I’m not spending $36 on the name brand. It smells awful (as did T Gel anyways), but it works.

This therapeutic shampoo is very good for hair loss and dandruff. I highly recommend it. It helped me a lot with seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp. I noticed improvement after using it consistently and my scalp feels much better now.

I have had great results with MG217 3% coal tar shampoo but it's been out of stock for a while. About a month ago, I decided to try this and have had mixed results. I really wanted to like the Amazon Basics shampoo as it is substantially cheaper than other brands. I used this 3-4 times per week for the last month and it works pretty well. However, it doesn't completely get rid of my flakes. I expect if I used it daily, it might do the trick but I think I need something stronger. The MG217 on the same schedule did eliminate my dandruff. The MG217 has a strong tar smell but I find the Amazon Basics doesn't. Some reviews have complained about the smell but it didn't bother me. The bottle size is too small. After a month, I'm half empty. MG217 is a very thin shampoo (think brown water). This Amazon shampoo is a thicker gel. Both lather ok but I much prefer the Amazon. Overall, I like it but I wish they had a 2% version.

As effective as popular brand

Very good quality for the price! I have scalp psoriasis and it works very well. Other brands can be pretty pricey

I really wanted to love this Amazon Basics Therapeutic Plus Coal Tar Shampoo, especially since it’s at a great price point compared to the name brands. On the positive side, you can tell the formula is potent and high-quality. It definitely feels like a "therapeutic" grade product, and for some people with severe scalp issues, this strength is probably exactly what they need. ​However, I found the formula to be a bit too strong for my personal needs. While I was looking for a deep clean, it didn't quite leave my scalp feeling as refreshed or "clean" as I had hoped. Instead of soothing my irritation, it felt a little overwhelming, and I didn't see the results I was looking for after several uses. ​I also noticed that the shampoo is definitely on the heavier side. It has a thick consistency that lingered a bit too long, and I struggled to rinse it out completely. If you have very thick hair or a sensitive scalp, just be aware that this is a heavy-duty treatment. It’s a solid product for the price, but it just wasn't the right match for my specific scalp type.

The smell bothers some people (according to my family it smells like fuel before my hair dries) but it doesn’t bother me and it helped clear my dandruff up completely! Zinc shampoo could never 👎
