Review: Using For 2-3 Years Now (12th Bottle - It Lasts!) - It took me many attempts to find a reliable shampoo that could help control my dermatitis that didn't have harsh chemicals like selenium sulfide and zinc. This is the only shampoo that comes close to a "natural remedy" that I have been able to find that actually works on dermatitis/dandruff. I cannot emphasize on how much money I spent looking for a shampoo like this. I have extremely thick coarse hair and this shampoo is great for that type of hair. If you've been on the search as well and have finally found this shampoo, then congratulations. - This shampoo does have a slight medicinal smell to it which is 100% attributed to the charcoal. - There is no lingering odor after rinsing like there is with selenium sulfide or zinc dandruff shampoos. - The conditioner that pairs with this shampoo smells incredible and 100% natural I recommend it. - A single bottle lasts longer than many off the shelf shampoos I've purchased. - One bottle tends to last 2-3 months for a single user. Review: After years with dandruff, this shampoo got rid of it in just a few washes - This shampoo was bought for a relative with shoulder length curly, African American hair. She said: Dandruff I’ve had for years is completely gone after a few washes! I’ve used a lot of products that never helped. Only complaint is once I’ve started using it, a slightly weird smell develops near my scalp after a few days. It has reduced a lot though. So maybe it’s just build-up on my head gradually being worked on? I’m using apple cider vinegar and a Shea Moisture mask/conditioner as my conditioners. Not sure if that mix is the issue, but I rinse everything out. Nevertheless, I will continue using this shampoo since it works flawlessly for eradicating dandruff. 11/8/25: Editing to add that it’s been almost 4 years now and still using this. There are no more weird smells after using it, so it has definitely done its job cleaning my hair. No more dandruff! My hair is growing strong and healthy. Every now and then I use another cleansing shampoo, but I love this shampoo. I think the difference for why this works so well for dandruff compared to others is the combination of coal tar and the anti-fungal, Ketoconazole. ## Features - HAIR AND SCALP REJUVENATION: Herbal Extracts gathered from around the world plus 0.5% Coal Tar may promote healthier scalp - HYDRATES HAIR: Keeps hair moisturized and hydrated roots to tips to control irritation caused by dry hair and scalp - REDUCES THINNING HAIR: 19 Herbal Key Active Ingredients to help reduce hair thinning due to breakage and promote natural, thicker, fuller looking hair - SCIENCE PLUS NATURE.

However, I would IMPLORE you to reconsider your purchase and seek hair thinning relief elsewhere. I've been using this shampoo near daily for over a month and feel my hair looks WORSE for it then when I started!!! I actually use Selsun Blue as a relief and it makes my hair took 10 times better! **Q: Do you like this product?** A: : The new formula is Terrible and the company denies changing it from the original gold label with coal tar and keto. They said it must have been a bad batch. I ordered another and it was worse! Even more watery. I tested it versus the last of the original I had left over (for the second time) in a travel bottle and it was even lighter in color and dropped to the bottom instantly. Like a liquid hand soap. The former quality formula takes a few seconds to the reach the bottom. A few ingredients are omitted/changed, it’s about 60% more watery, has a different scent, a slightly different color, and causes rapid shedding and itching after every use. This was my go-to for dermatitis and hair loss... it was amazing and the only shampoo on the market like it. And now that the company is being extremely shady, I might Stop using their other gold label product every day. This stuff is garbage now. So disappointing. It took me many years to find it. Please change It back. **Q: Ingredients list?** A: It is on the bottle **Q: Is the product supposed to be watery?** A: The times Ive purchased it no it was not watery, however the consistency is lighter and thiner than regular shampoo. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Using For 2-3 Years Now (12th Bottle - It Lasts!) *by A***R on September 15, 2024* It took me many attempts to find a reliable shampoo that could help control my dermatitis that didn't have harsh chemicals like selenium sulfide and zinc.

No scalp irritation but I rinse it really good. I do feel my hair loss is less. I don’t use it when I know I have to go out because the smell as I said is rough. ## Frequently Bought Together - PURA D'OR 16 Oz MD Anti-Hair Thinning Maximum Defense Shampoo - 0.5% Coal Tar, Biotin, Proprietary Herbal Blend For Dry & Itchy Scalp, No Sulfates - For Men & Women - PURA D'OR Advanced Therapy Conditioner (16oz) For Increased Moisture, Strength, Volume & Texture, No Sulfates, Contains Argan Oil & Biotin, All Hair Types, Men & Women (Packaging May Vary) - PURA D'OR 16 Oz Original Gold Label Anti-Thinning Biotin Shampoo Natural Earthy Scent, CLINICALLY TESTED Effective Results, Herbal Hair Thickening Products, 3-1 Wash, Women & Men, Color Treated Hair --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/83687431-pura-dor-16-oz-md-anti-hair-thinning-maximum-defense](https://www.desertcart.us/products/83687431-pura-dor-16-oz-md-anti-hair-thinning-maximum-defense) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
