Dermarest Medicated Psoriasis Shampoo & Conditioner, with Salicylic Acid & Zinc Complex, Fragrance-Free, 8 Fl Oz

I have very long hair, all the way past my waist. I haven’t been to a doctor yet to diagnose what was going on with my scalp, but I’m pretty sure it was psoriasis. I did a lot of research trying to find the best product and this kept popping up. I ordered this at the end of November and it was delivered on the 28th. I have used only this as shampoo with every hair wash applying it on the scalp, massaging it in, and let it sit for several minutes. I follow it up with my ordinary conditioner and hair oil, but I apply both only to the ends of my hair making sure to work it in well and allowing that to sit for a bit. In just a month, this had ALMOST entirely cleared my scalp of large scales and controlled the itching. The longevity of the product seems sufficient as I am still not even through my first bottle and have three bottles left! Everything, so far about this product has hit every need I had. Bottle size, speed and its ease of use. I could NOT recommend this enough. Keep in mind, you won’t be clear from the first wash, but continual usage helped me! I am grateful for this product.

I have struggled with pretty bad psoriasis since I was a teenager. I never knew what it really was until I was about 18, so I kept using you regular cheap shampoo and conditioner, and it absolutely wrecked my scalp. I was constantly dealing with head pains, scabs, deep wounds and bleeding all the time. I was also super insecure about this, so I never let anyone touch my hair or scalp, wouldn't even go to the hairdresser for years. Finally at 22 I started using shampoo for psoriasis to see if maybe it would help me. What a god send. After some months my scalp completely healed. It worked pretty much overnight, and I have never went back to normal shampoo again. I started using the Neutrogena one for a year, until I found this product. It has more product, even if a bit pricier, I still get more out of my buck. It's incredibly effective, doesn't really have a smell or weird color. It foams up really nicely which I enjoy. When you want to use it as a shampoo and conditioner, I would suggest leaving the shampoo lather on while using a brush to detangle, if you wash your hair out before brushing, the hair will be too dry. It really is amazing how this has cured my bad psoriasis. I myself have to wash my hair everyday so that I don't get any scabbing at all, but everyone is different. Test it out and see what works for you. 100% recoomend.

This shampoo was effective enough for me, having used it regularly over a respectable time, and considering it's an over-the-counter shampoo that advertises itself as "Medicated Shampoo" on the product container. In my case, it only provided temporary relief, and it did so over intermittently short periods. I'm not convinced the "medicated" claim is sufficient in strength to be a fair selling point, but in my experience, this shampoo works no better or worse than any other product I've tried. It's less expensive than some, doesn't have an overpowering or lingering scent, and my hair's texture isn't as dry as when using some others. I can't fully recommend this product, as in my case I've found other shampoo solutions which address the advertised treatment of symptoms to be more effective.

A project that really does what it says it does . Cleared my psoriasis. It really helps relieving itch

This helps keep my scalp psoriasis at bay. It’s not a cure—there is no such thing—but it seems to prevent the psoriasis from coming back for a week and reduces the itching. Note that this is a shampoo for your scalp, not your hair. Using it on your hair would be an expensive waste. I massage the shampoo into those parts of my scalp that are affected, let it sit there for several minutes, then add my regular shampoo to wash my hair. Used that way, it’s not too expensive. I wash my hair just once a week, so if you do yours more often you may not have to use it every time.

I have psoriasis and I am usually a little flaky. Nothing terrible, but it gets worse depending on my diet and sometimes I just want to eat bad things (in my case, red food coloring is a huge trigger) like maraschino cherries and thai iced tea (red food coloring is in a surprising number of things.) This shampoo does clear the flakes but after using it consistently for a few months I think I over did it. I started using it once a week, switching back and forth between my regular shampoo, but then I got lazy and just started mixing it in with my regular shampoo. I wash my hair every other day so it was a lot. I think this stripped my scalp because it became insanely itchy over time and eventually started breaking out. I almost never get itchy bumps on my scalp so I knew something was up. I treated it with an antibacterial ointment meant for folliculitis and switched to a calming shampoo and everything resolved. I would still recommend this product but don't over-do it. Save it for bad flare ups or special events. I've also since tried another psoriasis shampoo and I've had just as much flake clearance but none of the itch, so if your scalp is sensitive maybe skip this one and try another.

Awesome stuff. Cleared up the problem very quickly.

My scalp has become increasingly sensitive to the point of blisters/sores from most shampoos. This shampoo did not irritate it.
