The medicinal scent feels manageable
She says doctors recommended T/Gel for her daughter years ago. In her experience it calmed the scalp and reduced visible flaking; availability and price are now her main concerns.
- yuniseya_2439Oct 31, 2025
A small amount lathers well
She reports that a little shampoo goes a long way and helped with an itchy scalp. She preferred the non-floral medicinal scent and recommends giving the routine time to work.
- alexandraj99_2328Sep 3, 2025
Useful as an occasional reset
She describes the shampoo as thick with a strong medicinal scent. She uses it occasionally rather than daily and notes that it can feel drying on her flaky scalp.
- Daneivys G.Recent public review
The strong scent fades quickly
She says the formula lathers well, cleans deeply, and leaves her scalp feeling calmer and less itchy. The medicated scent is strong at first but fades after washing.
- Melissa M.Recent public review
Helpful when a flare-up needs attention
She says it helps bring dandruff and psoriasis flare-ups back to a manageable level on her thick, wavy hair. Because of the price, she keeps it for occasional use instead of every wash.
- Jaleesa S.Recent public review
A repeat purchase for scalp discomfort
She says T/Gel helps soothe dryness, irritation, and itching. She had purchased it previously and planned to buy another bottle for her scalp routine.
- Pat77Feb 5, 2018
The Original Formula is the one she returns to
She says she has used the Original Formula for years and found it more suitable for her scalp psoriasis routine than the shampoo-and-conditioner combination.
- Walmart customerAug 23, 2020
Skipping several washes changed the result
This reviewer says T/Gel helped keep scalp psoriasis under control over years of use, while symptoms started returning when several washes were skipped.
- Walmart customerOct 14, 2020
Less itching and flaking after starting
After trying several other shampoos, this reviewer reports that itching, flaking, inflammation, and scalp discomfort were noticeably reduced during the first couple of weeks.

Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Use caution when exposing treated skin to sunlight because sunburn sensitivity may increase for up to 24 hours. Stop use and ask a doctor if the condition worsens or does not improve after regular use.
Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact Poison Control immediately.
