Denorex Therapeutic Maximum Itch Relief Dandruff Shampoo & Conditioner, Formulated with Menthol to Relieve Scalp Irritation, 10oz

I used to use this for a dry scalp as needed and it was great. Now I have allergy issues that cause crazy scalp itching. I searched a long time to find this again. It does make your scalp tingle and has a strong tar smell while applying it, but doesn't smell after. It is still a great product even if much more expensive now. I just ordered a 2nd bottle.

The “coal tar” version of Denorex is the ONLY thing that has ever worked on my scalp psoriasis (even over prescription oils and such). My psoriasis was in “remission” for many years, and just started flaring up (stress/immune related), and I couldn’t find the “therapeutic“ kind (the coal-tar formula). ANYWAY, this is it. Smells the same, works great. My only complaint is the price.

I’d used it for years. Never had a problem till they changed the formula.

I’ve used this shampoo before and loved it. It has been one of the few shampoos I am able to use to really control my psoriasis. I was happy to see it was listed under subscribe n save so went with it. Sadly my first order came a few days late and my second order was delayed weeks then my third order was taken off due to no longer available. The shampoo does burn the scalp which means it is working. The flakes are controlled for days after use. If you have thick hair or lots of hair you may need to apply extra shampoo as it Originally comes out not so thick...your hair sucks/absorbs up the shampoo quick.

After a few uses, the itch has almost gone away. Need a few more applications.

This has helped my psoriasis on my scalp more than I ever hoped. I was worried it would dry my curls out too much and I would be left with unmanageable frizz. Instead of s frizzy mess, my curls were left hydrated and I now have “good hair days” everyday! The benefits on my scalp would, however, be absolutely worth looking like Donn King. The scale has decreased dramatically, the itchiness has completely subsided, and spots are decreasing slowly in size. This shampoo has really been a blessing.

I've had scalp issues for ages. It's not sold in CA because some lawyer sued about the tar. I've used it for almost 45 years. I only need it once or twice a month. Be careful of being in the sun 24 hours after using this product or you could get sunburned. I always wear a hat. It does leave the hair very clean and itch free. The smell is better than a lot of the other tar shampoos. It's going to smell some.

I’d triggered my scalp by using a shampoo that dried it out. A couple uses with this and the itch was gone! If my scalp starts to feel itchy, I use this a couple times, and then I don’t need to use it again for weeks or months. For me works great on an as-needed basis.
