After a few uses the redness went down and my scalp stopped flaking like before, really relieved.
Joseph M.Honestly helped with stubborn dandruff when regular shampoos failed, gave me visible results without a medicated smell.
Anthony J.Noticed less visible dandruff in two weeks; scent is mild and it rinses clean. Makes styling easier because there’s less flaky residue.
Ryan A.Coal tar solution 4%. That's the number on the front of the bottle, and it's why people go looking for Polytar rather than reaching for whatever's in the supermarket aisle.
Polytar Scalp Shampoo is a medicated shampoo listed on the pack for psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, eczema, itchiness and scaling, and dandruff. It's the option for scalp problems that keep returning despite ordinary washing.
Use Polytar once or twice a week for up to four weeks. Massage it into the scalp, rinse and repeat, allowing a total contact time of three to five minutes. Only continue beyond four weeks on the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.
That contact time is part of the directions. Polytar isn't designed to be lathered and immediately washed away — massage it in, rinse and repeat, allowing three to five minutes total contact with the scalp.
Polytar is a medicated 4% coal tar solution shampoo for psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, eczema, itchiness and scaling, and dandruff. That makes it a useful option when you're dealing with more than the occasional loose flake.
Polytar is for adults and children over 12. Don't use it if you're allergic to coal tar or its ingredients, on infected, open or damaged skin, or during the first trimester of pregnancy; seek medical advice if pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid the eyes and stop use if irritation develops. Coal tar can increase sensitivity to sunlight, so avoid strong sun and sunbeds, and don't combine it with UV phototherapy unless directed by a doctor. It may stain fabrics or temporarily affect hair colour. Keep fabrics that have contacted the product away from smoking and naked flames, as residue can make them burn more easily.
