Product Description
Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo For Flaky, Itchy Scalp (1x 250ml) — Approved Treatment for Scalp Issues
Seeking relief from an itchy, sore scalp due to psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis? The clinically proven Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo is the answer. The T/Gel shampoo was especially developed with dermatologists to work in three ways; reducing flakiness, alleviating itchiness, and calming scalp redness. The active ingredient Neutar™ Solubilised Coal Tar extract is clinically proven to help fight dandruff. Neutar has also been shown to relieve itching, reduce the symptoms of psoriasis, break up oils and remove flakes and a keratolytic to loosen and exfoliate skin cells. The lightly fragranced formulation can therefore help in the treatment for itchy, flaky scalp disorders such as dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis, leaving your hair shiny and manageable.
Regular use of the flaky scalp shampoo for up to 6 weeks will help treat these problems. The T/Gel shampoo can be used by adults and children aged 12 years and over.
Application instructions: Apply liberal amounts of shampoo and massage into the scalp to form a rich lather. Leave the lather on the scalp for several minutes. Rinse and repeat the application once more. The shampoo should not be used more than two or three times a week. If there is no improvement after 6 weeks use, contact your doctor or pharmacist. If irritation develops, stop using the shampoo and contact your doctor if necessary. Use this medicine only on your scalp.
