Best for Irritated Scalp

I use Neutrogena T/Gel when my scalp is super irritated and dandruffy. I don't use it consistently because it is very drying to the hair and leaves a lingering odour of coal tar in the hair. I typically use it when my scalp is bad and then alternate with a moisturizing shampoo. For my issues, this seems to work. I wish it wasn't so drying, but I assume that's related to the therapeutic properties of the formula.

Miracle Worker

I've dealt with a dry itchy scalp caused by seborrheic dermatitis for years now. There are times when the flare ups are worse than ever. I've tried pretty much every medicated shampoo as well as natural cure you can think of. Nothing has worked as well as this shampoo to keep the flakes at bay. It has a super strong smell but you get used to it and even begin to love when you realize what it's doing for your poor scalp.

It works but increases hair loss

Like all medicated shampoo it has a not so pleasant smell and leaves hair feeling dry, however it does stop the itching after the first use. I normally lose 3-5 strands of hair after each hair wash, but every time I use this shampoo I lose 15-20 strands of hair. Right now I’m using it two times a week, but if the hair loss doesn’t improve I might look for another shampoo.

Neutrogena T-Gel Therapeutic Shampoo

I am really excited & truly satisfied with this new product! I immediately saw results, stop feeling itchy or dry skin. I liked the packaging being simple and clear - makes clear that this is a clinical product. I would like this shampoo to have more intense/freshness scent instead of being so plain.

This worked for a short period of time for me, but then my scalp got even more dry and flakey. I needed a product that would actually help in exfoliating my scalp and this wasn't cutting it. I had a scalp exam done which showed my hair was thinning, which was related to my blocked hair follicles. I also couldn't stand the mothball smell and it dried out the rest of my hair. I'm glad that it worked for others, just wasn't the right product for me. What did work was phyto exfoliating shampoo and Alterna scalp facial, although they are also much more expensive.

using this on my 9 year old for crazy out of control dandruff.


Works after a few uses very effectively!

I find one thing that bothers me is the smell of the shampoo. I also noticed that after not using it for a few shampoos, I used a L'Oreal one to see if she would get dandruff. She didn't because the T Gel was still working! How I know? I smelt it on her head as if I had just put it on! So it does work even after you don't use however be prepared to smell weird.

Very effective though. I spray her top of her head with a body mist to take away the smell and it works.

Have dandruff and itchy flakey scalp on and off. This is the best for dealing with it. 1 treatment and your good! It is quite tar-like and has a strong odour, but works perfectly!
