A winner ..thanks heaps
Put this in my hair,the smell is like monkey vomit and people steer clear of me. Perfect as it's reduced work place interactions by 70%.. Even when my scalp isn't itchy I will continue to use it as its bought so much peace in my life. Show detailsGarbage, dried my skin out and made it worse
Had mild dandruff so picked this up, it caused eyebrow and beard itching and flaking. Discontinued use and back to normal Show detailsExcellent
My teenage son been using for years. He prefers this to other brands. The $13 bottle lasts 6mths +. It is a nice smell (similar to coal tar), which evaporates as soon as hair is dry. Keeps the grease out of his hair and off his face (no pimples face/forehead). This product is completely SAFE to use and the majority of hair products have preservative in them that retards microbial growth, so try not to pay attention to the scare tactics of some people about this product. Show detailsThe best for dermatitis on your scalp
This is the best thing I’ve come across. It got rid of all my sons dermatitis on his scalp. It was so bad that now he is free from it cause of this shampoo. I tried so many other products that the dr recommended to me and I gave it to a friend of mine when we didn’t need it anymore. It was for her and her daughter and she couldn’t believe it worked as she tried many other things for her and her daihjyer And nothing has stopped the itch or gotten rid of their psoriasis on the scalp. I’m about to purchase this for other son as I’ve noticed some has poped up on his scalp fingers crossed it helps for him also. If I could give more starts for this product I definitely would.

Not only does this stuff smell horrific, but it also has DMDM, which is a leading ingredient to cancer Show detailsIt works!!
I have used T gel as a shampoo. Excellent!! I have eczema/psoriasis all my life. I started using T-Gel for 3 months as a soap to control my dry & ichie skin. Omg!! It working! Not itching! Please make a soap for us. I have had this condition all my life. T gel shampoo as a soap has really helped me! I please contact me via email to discuss. [Email Address Removed] Thank you very much Show detailsLove it. Saved my life. Can't live without it
Very mild on very sensitive facial skin, not like other shampoos that cause stinging. Totally controls dandruff. Lovely clean tar smell. Have been using it for 25 years. Show detailsGreat for hair loss
Really reduces hair loss for me, amazing as I almost getting bold ! yeah smell is not great but who cares when your hair stays on your head not a brush ! Show detailsThe only shampoo that works!
After having dandruff issues for a very long time I found this product and so relieved it’s working. I have tried everything else in the market from cheap to high end products! This stuff works wonders. Show detailsPsoriasis #1 hair solution
This shampoo saved me almost my whole life, since I discovered it. It does clean through the hair, soothes the itching, and helps to calm down the flare, thanks to this shampoo I was able to live normal life. However, I know that the 'Original formula' that is sold in the US is different from the 'Therapeutic formula' that is sold elsewhere, Original is darker and more thick and I think helps me more... Unfortunately now I live in another country and can't find it here. Show detailsThank goodness for this product
I felt it necessary to share my experience with T-Gel as it (and the conditioner) have been a blessing for me. I have Hashimoto’s, a thyroid and auto immune condition. Around the same time I was diagnosed with that (a year ago), I developed really bad psoriasis on my scalp. My scalp was flaking excessively, was very itchy, sometimes I had sores and, at it’s worst, I could basically peel small sections of my scalp off. My whole scalp was so irritated. Over a six month period, I tried a few different anti dandruff/psoriasis shampoos: a couple of ... Read morenatural options and another medicated one. None of these provided me any improvement at all. They may be great products for others but did not work for me. Two weeks ago I bought T-Gel and my scalp has been getting better with each wash. The peeling and sores have virtually gone and the flaking has reduced a lot. Overall, my scalp feels less irritated. I am so relieved. A few people have commented about the smell and it is unusual however it’s not bad and I don’t care given I am getting relief. So for anyone with symptoms similar to mine who isn’t having any luck with other treatments, please try this product.Works to manage slight flare ups
I’ve used this for as long as I can remember for psoriasis on my scalp. Used regularly it does help manage the inflammation for me, however, recently I needed medication to manage a bad flare up. I will still use it when needed as it’s worked for years. It doesn’t smell great so be sure to use a nice normal shampoo and conditioner to counteract that. Show detailsEasily available and effective
Suffered from severe psoriasis since my teen years, this product works wonders and actually helps tackle psoriasis. While it is rather pricey for a shampoo - $13 as of October 2021, it is readily available from Coles / Woolworths and does the job!Ignore the cheaper, Redwin Coal Tar Fragrance next to it on the shelf. While that one is 1/3 of the price ($4), it contains zero coal tar, compared to T/Gel which has 0.5% w/v coal tar. Show details
It’s was ok but I needed to use it for at least a month
Smell is not pleasant and it dries your scalp but in saying that I have used every shampoo on the market and it one is the best one out there for me Show detailsGrey / Blonde hair turned ory
My blonde and grey hair turned orange after one use and it dud not wash out as of one week .I am at my colorist right now getting help.
What a surprise Show details
Questions & Answers
Can you color your hair when using T-Gel?
I know it may lighten the color a bit after washing your hair.
Thank you!
Hi Lynnie. I colour my hair and it hasn’t been too much of an issue. The colour perhaps doesn’t last as long as usual (although really not much of a difference). And worth it to me as the benefit from T-gel has been major.
Thank you so much. I’ve just started using T-Gel and it works great and it seems to work fine with hair color. Many thanks again for your input!
