This shampoo really seems to be helping with my daughter's scalp issues. It cleans well, leaving her hair soft with no unpleasant smell.

I've been looking for a product like this for a long time and have tried several brands such as MG217, Dermarest, Nizoral, Neutrogena, and others, but I've never seen anything like it. Within a few uses, my scalp has completely transformed, it has completely calmed down, there is no itching, and the swelling and redness has greatly decreased. I also enjoy that it has a light natural scent, unlike certain medicated shampoos. It contains a lot of natural peat mud, which makes it almost black, yet it foams and feels like regular shampoo. I am totally satisfied with this shampoo.UPDATE : I have been using this shampoo for a while now and am a loyal customer ! Besides being good for your scalp, it leaves my hair so nice and soft ! Thanks for making this product !

I did not have high expectations for this shampoo since I had tried so many different brands (Nizoral, RoyceDerm, Dermarest etc) within a year or so and nothing seemed to work. With this one, I felt a positive change from day one. My scalp is much calmer and does not itch anymore, the red spots seem to be diminishing as well. The fact that this shampoo is natural and has an cool blackish dark brown color, nice aroma and texture, and lathers quite well also gives this shampoo some additional plus points. I cannot recommend this shampoo enough.

It is gentle on my scalp, leaves my hair clean and shiny, and does not smell like a tar pit. The fragrance is gentle and soothing. I will definitely be buying it again.

Although the smell is pleasant and feels nice to apply on the hair, making hair soft; it causes dandruff. I feel self conscious when I wear black after using this shampoo. I was hoping it would be like a tar shampoo but it isn’t.

I’ve been using this for over a month now twice a week and haven’t noticed a difference at all. To be honest the only thing I like about this is it relieves my itchy scalp almost immediately. But then as it sits per instructions my scalp gets itchy again. Definitely wasn’t worth the risky $30 experience ):

Veramente deludente, usato più volte per provarlo un po' e non scrivere subito una recensione negativa, ma esperienza negativa già dal primo utilizzo e riconfermata le volte seguenti. In casa non è piaciuto a nessuno, non toglie prurito né forfora, anzi sono tornati finché non abbiamo ricomprato lo shampoo abituale. Prurito già poche ore dopo l'utilizzo, peggio degli shampoo normali senza indicazione antiforfora. Per il resto profumo gradevole ma non rimane sui capelli, è nero solo appena esce dal flacone poi la schiuma è bianca normalissima, quindi non è vero che sporca ovunque come avevo letto. Due stelle solo perché la consegna è andata benissimo, sennò meriterebbe anche meno.

Smells great. I'll continue to use until it is gone, but as far as helping my psoriasis it just doesn't do a thing. Bought this in conjunction with the scalp serum. Neither work for me. I did a poor review of the scalp serum earlier and the company offered to give my money back but I declined. With psoriasis it's just hit and miss if a product will work and I know that when I purchase. So wanted these products to work but they are not for me.

I’ve used this shampoo for 2 years and it’s the only thing that has helped with my scalp psoriasis. I even use it as a body wash and it has really eased the flaking and itching.

Read More

This set is a little pricey but TOTALLY worth it if you're struggling with psoriasis on your scalp. I have moderate plaque psoriasis and nothing was working. I tried salicylic acid soaps, I tried hair masks, I tried oiling my scalp, I tried creams-nothing was working and I had horrible itching, build up and flaking no matter how much I washed with professional grade haircare.When I tried this shampoo and conditioner it soothed the itching and helped get the build up to budge with gentle scrubbing from a scalp massager, before I'd have to rub hard to get the build to budge. For me I noticed even better results letting both the shampoo and conditioner sit for 5 minutes.Not only that but it really helps my hair too. I have coarse hair, a lot of hair, and curly hair. It's hard to tame my hair and find products I can use without making my hair a huge fuzzy poof. But this set makes my hair so happy, shiny, smooth and brings out it's natural curl. It's so lightweight and leaves my hair feeling soft

It seems to keep my scalp from itching as badly. I have tried so many shampoos for dermatitis. none of them work! this one so far seems to keep the itch more tame. It itches a little but not so i want to scrape my scalp off.The ingredients are not as natural as I would like. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is something that I dont like to use but its better than SLS. Parfum is not a natural scent, i would prefer an essential oil for scent. Its close to being all natural but not quite close enough to win 5 stars from me.Its expensive for the tiny bottle. I will have to decide when the bottle is gone, if its worth paying for on a regular basis.The scent is really light, so the parfum isnt too strong at least.The soap is dark brown which is awesom, it shows theres a nice amount of peat in there. it doesnt sud much but thats a good thing, too much suds means too many chemicals. suds doesnt mean clean.overall i think this is a good choice for people looking for getting rid of that itch but the bottle could be bigger for the price.I have been washing my face with it too as i have dermatitis on scalp and face. time will tell if it actually works. so far it seems to work good but not great but i havent found great yet so good is a good start!I will be trying dead sea mud on my scalp in additon to this shampoo to see if they help eachother out or not. dermatitis is quite the battle!

I just wanted to write a review for some of those who may be "thinking" about getting this product. I have really bad scalp psoriasis and NOTHING, I mean nothing would work. My scalp is always itchy and irritated, sometimes open wounds from scratching so much. I came across this product on tiktok I believe and I immediately looked it up and read the hundreds of reviews about how amazing it is and how fast it relieves the 'itching" so without hesitation I purchased this product.Once I received it in the mail I ran straight to the mailbox and grabbed it and took a shower that night. While I followed directions, my scalp was still irritated. Sometimes things are worse before they get better, so I thought. Unfortunately, this product ended up not being for me. Which I was really sad because of all the reviews saying that its such a relief with "their bodies".Just always remember that its going to be a risk when trying new products and everyones bodies are different. We all react differently. Read the ingredients and make sure you don't have any allergies to anything and follow the directions. I hope it works for you!

OK, if you suffer from scalp psoriasis as I do, then you know the heartbreaking journey we go through trying to find some thing that will stop the itch and the plaques and the ugly redness, without having to resort to an injectable biologic.I don’t know about you, but I would rather deal with the visible signs of psoriasis, than risk immune suppressing meds that often lead to cancer or tuberculosis.How anyone can possibly choose to play with their immune system is beyond me, but I digress…So, on my search, I’ve tried every prescription shampoo, ointment, salve, liquid on the market, based on sal acid,, coal tar , zinc or antifungal, like Nizoral ,or even homeopathic and mesotherapy solutions without much relief, but lots and lots and lots of dollars wasted and a great deal of sadness.So, the shampoo and conditioner are not miraculous to be sure, however, they don’t smell like medicine or perfume, They are luxurious in lather and in smoothness and they do a pretty darn good job of keeping the itch at bay and maintaining a healthy scalp, certainly better than a lot of the other doctor prescribed or self- chosen medication’s or solutions.Give this one a try and if you are sensitive as I am to propylene glycol ingredients, this one will not cause your scalp to react even MORE adversely as so many of the other solutions on the market will do .I guess the main take away is, there are no miracles that will actually cure scalp plaque psoriasis., but this is certainly a good solution to a fairly unsolvable problem.

The pump is a nightmare. Needed a large quantity of the shampoo. Yes it stopped the itching, but it dried the living daylights out of my hair. While if I had used polytar it would have been wash and go. Yeah, I'll be going back to polytar.

Buying Guide

Psoriasis is a common skin condition that can cause a red, flaky, and itchy scalp. Here are a few tips on choosing a specially developed shampoo for your psoriasis symptoms. The most relevant consideration in psoriasis shampoo is its ingredient content. Look for mild, natural ingredients designed to soothe and heal the scalp, such as salicylic acid, which can help reduce scalp inflammation and itching. Additionally, natural peat mud can help reduce irritation and improve the overall health of the scalp. Always avoid products that contain coal tar, as this compound can be harmful to sensitive skin. Second, focus on shampoos formulated for psoriasis. Generally, this means formulas may use extra-strength ingredients or feature a thicker, heavier consistency. A good deal of psoriasis-friendly shampoos omit sulfates and other harsh cleansing agents. Third, remember that psoriasis shampoo must be easy to use. Look for clean rinsing shampoos with rich lathering action. Some shampoos may come with a nourishing conditioner to make them more effective. Another consideration comes down to preference - some shampoos boast organic formulas with no artificial ingredients, but some do not. Determine whether an all-natural formula is a deal breaker. With so many psoriasis shampoos available on the market, it is difficult to determine the best fit for you. However, by evaluating the ingredients, formulation, and ease of use, you will make a more informed decision and choose the right product for your needs.
