## Overview

True+Real Therapeutic T+plus Tar Gel Shampoo delivers a potent 1% coal tar formula clinically proven to reduce severe dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis symptoms.

Dermatologist-approved and comparable to leading brands, this 6oz shampoo is designed for twice-weekly use by teens and adults seeking professional-grade scalp care without breaking the bank.

## 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why can't I find 1% coal tar shampoo all of the sudden? Supply chain? The brand version is $35 now, whats going on?**
A: I noticed that as well. I went to a big box chain website and they were always out. Keep looking on Amazon because it does become available and you can buy it.

**Q: Does it have a chemical fragrance? Is fragrance listed as one of the ingredients.**
A: Yes, there is chemical fragrance in this product. I would recommend avoiding and purchasing something that doesn't have fragrance.

**Q: Please tell me this isn't getting discontinued as well? Neutrogena discontinued their T-Gel line, and the 0.5% isn't strong enough for me.**
A: I hope not. Better to ask the seller

**Q: How many percentage of neutar?**
A: Well, you do disclose the amount of coal tar on the bottle. It’s the active ingredient after all. I think the real answer is that Neutar is a trademark of J and J.

This product contains 4% solubilized coal extract with 1% effective active ingredient which is similar to the extra strength T Gel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
