I like the packaging, no leaking. The price is good. This is a good tar based shampoo that really works well. Thank you

Have bought this shampoo for yesars and does a good job. The only downside is now it is quite pricey and takes awhile to get it as it comes from the Uk.

The first time I bought Tarsum, it worked! Prior to that, I had tried almost every brand of psoriasis shampoo sold by Amazon. I’ve suffered with scalp psoriasis since childhood. As I grew older, psoriasis would present itself in my ears, on my eyelids, on my knees, elbows, ankles with smaller patches elsewhere. While I’ve never had a severe case of psoriasis on the rest of my body, the major area of concern was my scalp. After the first application of Tarsum, I immediately felt a change. No more itching or burning! After the second application, my scalp felt and looked NORMAL. No more flaking! I can wear dark colors with confidence! I was thrilled. Since I purchased my first bottle of Tarsum about 5 years ago, the manufacturer no longer makes the larger size; the bottles are now almost half the size they once were, but I buy it because it works. I also used a skin emulsion, Cutar (also sold on Amazon) for the psoriasis on the rest of my body, but it didn’t seem to work as well on my skin as Tarsum does on my scalp. The directions on the Tarsum bottle state to put the shampoo on the scalp for 5 minutes before showering after which you can shampoo/condition with your regular products so there is no lingering tar scent. I thought: why not do the same on the other areas of my body that are affected by psoriasis that I do on my scalp? The result is that Tarsum removes the red, flaky patches from the rest of my body as well as it works on my scalp. I apply the shampoo on my legs and arms and anywhere else I see patches, and after 5 minutes or more, I shower it off and then use my regular soap, rinse again, and then follow up with my regular moisturizer after I dry off.. Tarsum works on my body better than the Cutar skin emulsion, or anything else I’ve used, so now it’s Tarsum for everything that has to do with psoriasis. It is the ONLY product that absolutely works.
To think I spent HUNDREDS of dollars every year on prescription solutions that really didn’t work. I buy a $25 bottle of Tarsum and all my psoriasis is GONE.
I know psoriasis has no cure, but at least now I don’t have to look like I’m in need of one.

I purchased this after researching different dandruff shampoos to try, I found this shampoo after going down a tiktok rabbit hole. I previously used Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo but I didn’t feel totally ‘flake free’. I like that you can ‘spot treat’ your dandruff with this shampoo and leave it on for 20-30 mins before you shower. Ive been using this once a week and it has been keeping my flaky, itchy and dry scalp under-control. The downsides to this shampoo is that it smells terrible. It smells like a mixture of mothballs and fresh asphalt- it is truly horrid. The upside is that my dandruff has been more manageable. If only the smell was more bearable!

Ok so I’ve tried like everything other than going to a dermatologist for my scalp issues. From flaky skin, inflamed follicles which would feel like pimples on scalp and hair loss, patchy Hairloss and bad quality hair so I just shaved my head. After trying this product I put it on my dry head like it says and rubbed it in and left it in. Didn’t wash till next day. Head smelled like a gas can but scalp felt great. Well now I use as a shampoo daily and also dilute in a spray bottle with water and use during the day. Spray my face and beard and head. No more flakes or inflation anywhere and hair is growing in thick, can feel the new whiskers under longer hairs. Hope this review helps out.

As a post menopausal woman with continual hot flash events, I have had issues with the back of my scalp near the neckline. I think the heat and sweat has caused the itchy and scaly scalp that I have been suffering with. I have tried two other shampoos that come highly recommended, but nothing beats this. I am still working to completely rid myself of the symptoms, but I think a few more weeks of using this and I will be successful. I will definitely be buying this again.

Not sure you need to pay this much for this amount. Pretty sure you insurance co-pay is less or an OTC product will do as well.
