What does coal tar 0.5% do for dandruff and scalp conditions?

Coal tar is an established dermatologic ingredient that helps slow excessive skin cell production and reduces flaking and scaling. At 0.5%, it targets the surface factors that contribute to visible dandruff and irritation without being overly harsh on the scalp.

• Supports reduction of redness and itching related to irritated scalp
• Used as part of a short, repeated regimen for maintenance

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Wet hair, massage the shampoo gently into the scalp, and leave it on for several minutes before rinsing; repeat if desired. Using the product twice weekly or following a physician’s instructions provides balance between symptom relief and scalp health.

• Apply to wet hair and massage into the scalp thoroughly
• Allow the shampoo to sit for several minutes to act on scales
• Rinse well; repeat once if needed and use twice weekly

Is this shampoo suitable alongside other scalp treatments?

This coal tar shampoo can be incorporated into a broader scalp-care routine, but check compatibility with other medicated products. If you are under a treatment plan for psoriasis or severe dermatitis, consult your healthcare provider to coordinate therapies.
