STRONG MEDICATED SCENT - THIS IS NOT A SALON SHAMPOO. Coal tar has a distinct tar/medicinal smell during washing. It rinses out and does not linger in dry hair. If scent is a dealbreaker, Berk's Select uses the same 3% Salicylic Acid and 1.5% Sulfur without the coal tar.
THREE ACTIVES, NOT ONE. 0.5% Coal Tar slows the scalp-cell turnover that creates flakes, 3% Salicylic Acid lifts and washes away the scale already there, and 1.5% Sulfur clears the buildup underneath. Most dandruff shampoos rely on a single active.
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE DRUGSTORE SHELF. If zinc and selenium formulas stopped working, or never did, coal tar is a different mechanism rather than a stronger version of the same one.
FOR STUBBORN, RECURRING SCALP CONDITIONS. Formulated to control the flaking, scaling and itching associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Use at least twice weekly: lather, leave on five minutes, rinse thoroughly.
NO UNNECESSARY EXTRAS. Three actives in a straightforward base, and nothing else along for the ride. No dyes, no parabens, no added fragrance.
