Ionil-T Therapeutic 1% Coal Tar Shampoo - 8 oz

Growing up I had eczema and somehow got a wingworm that took my hair out in one spot. The dermatologist told my mother about this shampoo and since this we have been using this wonderful product. Now there are a few thing you will want to know about this...first thing is that this soap is very thin; it pours our like water and does not soap up really well in the first washing.But if you are like me, then you will rinse your hair out and do a "second washing". During the second wash you will notice that the soap suds extremely well, but the second thing is that it does strip the hello out the oils in your hair. So ladies, you will definitely want to deep condition your hair and use a light oil on your hair after you wash it in this shampoo. It is a great product and will help your hair to grow or atleast it did with mine and works excellent for getting rid of dandruff. I just wish they still made the Ionil plus conditioner - now that was the bomb!!! It worked great and smelled like bubble gum. So glad amazon carries Ionil since I can no longer find it in the stores.

Before reading very long, you will find that the lead character, Ralph Albano, is a hilarious small time crook who fumbles and bumbles his way through a crime. He steals a car only to find an elderly woman sleeping in the back but this is a long ways from where he stole the car. What will he do now? Read this fast moving mystery and laugh all the way.

This is the only OTC dandruf shampoo that has ever worked for me. I use it once per week as directed on the back of the bottle (leave in for 5 minutes then rinse) and my dandruff stays under control. Yes it smells awful, but you don't reak of it after.

I've had psoriasis for about 30 years. I used the Ionil -T products for years at the suggestion of my dermatologist, and they worked well. I went to this plain shampoo (no conditioner) as the price started going up, and used it for a long time. Then, when the price on this stuff doubled in 12 months, I started looking around, and found this deal on Amazon for two 16-oz. bottles of the Beta-Tar gel shampoo Betatar Gel Shampoo, Dandruff Shampoo, 16 Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2) for less money than one bottle of the Ionil-T. It's twice the strength (2% coal tar) and lathers a WHOLE lot better than the Ionil-T ever did. I've been using the Beta-Tar product for about a year now, and I am very pleased with the results for my scalp psoriasis. Check out my review at the product site.

Despite the fact that on the label somewhere it states that it contains chemicals known to cause cancer, I took the risk but I didn't get the expected results. After using it for a few weeks 2-3 times a week, it seemed that I am on the path of finally getting rid of my flakes and dandruff. Later on, it came all back. Not at much as before but still enough. I haven't used any other hair cleaner or any sprays or mousse while I used this product. I wouldn't buy it again. The smell is also pretty bad.

Works wonders

This is an exceallant product. The best I have found for controlling dandruff in over 40 years of using dandruff shampoo. It is long lasting and effective even when not used on a daily basis.

No latter build up which leads you to believe it does not work. It works alot better for me than blue selson or shoulders and head. Worth the extra money.
