We get a few emails about dandruff requesting the best products to get rid of it. We recommend Neutrogena T/Gel, which has a coal-tar extract as its active ingredient. We also hear great things about Head & Shoulders intensive treatment. Both treat an itchy, flaky scalp without a harsh chemical smell. Photo courtesy of Pricegrabber.

After having a very long combat with dandruff on a family member, I have to say Selsun Blue was the only one that worked after trying all the others. And it’s cheaper!

Dandruff Home Remedy
having suffered thru an outbreak of dandruff these past two years, I must have tried a half dozen shampoos, including several prescribed ones by my dermotologist. A friend recommended t-gel to me, and while reluctant to try it due to the smell and color, i finally did, and saw a remarkable difference after only 1 use!! my head no longer itches, and the flakes have reduced itself quite a bit…i wholeheartedly recommend this product!!
I have been using T-Gel for awhile now. I have bad scalp psoriasis. It does work well…if you leave it on for 10 minutes, and then another 10 for the conditioner. It has worked really well for me. Except…I have one major complaint. Since using it on a frequent basis….I now have psorasis on may back !! I never had it before using the shampoo…I never even EVER had back acne ! AT ALL. now…my shoulders and upper back are all affected with psoriasis. I used to be able to hide my embarassing problem under my hair…now, I can’t eaven wear a halter top or a dress because I’m so embarassed of my skin condition ! Psoriasis looks disqusting to people who don’t understand it. I have it, and it looks disqusting to me…If you have dandruff, I would highly reccomend it…If you have severe scalp psoriasis…I wouldn’t, unless you want to have it running all down the back of your body too.
I’ve never tried Neutrogena TGel but I’ve always used Selsun Blue or Denorex.
