Worth Reading - I have a staph aureus infection from scalp to under my feet. I am being treated by doctors of course, but this is a severe problem. It can be lethal to the person. The itching is maddening . And the infection leaves abrasions, rash sores, even some lumps on my head. This shampoo works very well. It relieves itch. Of course its temporary. The disease is not cured yet. But it removes some every shampoo and relives the itch enough to not lose my mind. I have bought dozens of items for hair, scalp and skin. This one works well. I plan to keep using it even after the infection is gone. The tar smell goes away fast. I recommend this highly. How did I get this deadly infection? Front End loaders, washers and dryers. They had no ability to clean themselves.. Buy clothes, sheet, pillow cases, towels, and much more had to be disposed of. The machines were buoying up bacteria, mold and fungas in them. There is NO safe brand of these. Get rid of them. I( drilled holes in mine and pounded out the controls with a hammer and screwdriver so the used appliance dealers would not retrieve them from the junk yard. Years back all the manufacturers were sued in a class action suit. EVERY brand with NO exceptions. You can google this. I did not notice my notification on it. It was only 35.00 regardless. They admitted no wrong doing and no recall. On 20 million machines. I am fighting for my life now. Close to death several Times and pulled through. Get rid of them! Nothing is worth this. If you cannot buy new machines, rent to own. Settle for a cheap pair. I bought top loaders and they have a huge barrel in them like the front loaders do. The deadly things growing in the machines were both in the washers and the dryers. Get rid of them. I have been sick now 15 months. Often can barely walk. I will answer any questions you send. Thank you for reading this and do tell others! Review: Works just as well as the expensive brands! - I suffer from eczema on my scalp and have been using tar gel shampoo for several years now. I try to buy the store brand (CVS, Publix, etc.) when they have it because it's a little less expensive than the Neutrogena T/Gel. However, all the stores and pharmacies around me have been out of stock of everything, which brought me to desertcart and this product. I am very pleased with it - it works just as well and the price is great...even cheaper than store brands! My only caution is the smell is a lot stronger than the Neutrogena original formula. It smells more like the extra strength. I don't mind though - that's to be expected with tar gel. And I use regular conditioner after shampooing so my hair still smells great! Highly recommend, especially if you need a strong product for more serious scalp conditions. ## Features - 16 oz Original strength formula leaves hair clean and manageable while controlling symptoms of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, chronic scalp psoriasis - Contains solubilized coal tar extract 2.5% (Coal Tar, 0.5%) to keep working after rinsing - Fast-acting formula provides long-lasting relief from flaking and itching for teens, adults, men, and women - For best results use at least twice a week or as directed by a doctor - Comparable to same ingredients as leading brand T/Gel Original Strength Shampoo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07GL9BWJC | | Active Ingredients | Coal Tar | | Age Range (Description) | Adult,teens | | Age Range Description | Adult,teens | | Brand | True+Real | | Brand Name | True+Real | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,849 Reviews | | Hair Type | Dry | | Item Dimensions | 3 x 2 x 8.75 inches | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Garcoa, Inc. - Manufacturer Accelerator Program | | Manufacturer Part Number | GKhair | | Material Type Free | Sulfate Free | | Model Number | GKhair | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Therapeutic | | Product Benefits | Anti-Dandruff,Hydrating | | Recommended Uses For Product | Dermatitis, Psoriasis | | Scent | Regular Strength | | Scent Name | Regular Strength | | Suitable Hair Color | All Hair Colors | | UPC | 038488702109 | | Unit Count | 16 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult,teens - **Brand:** True+Real - **Hair Type:** Dry - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Scent:** Regular Strength ## Images ![True+Real Therapeutic Plus Tar Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Original Strength 0.5% Coal Tar, 16 Fl Oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51H1-fFS+1L.jpg) ![True+Real Therapeutic Plus Tar Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Original Strength 0.5% Coal Tar, 16 Fl Oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IIVQQD-cL.jpg) ![True+Real Therapeutic Plus Tar Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Original Strength 0.5% Coal Tar, 16 Fl Oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OkeE7x3SL.jpg) ![True+Real Therapeutic Plus Tar Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Original Strength 0.5% Coal Tar, 16 Fl Oz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N9H702qcL.jpg) ![True+Real Therapeutic Plus Tar Gel Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Original Strength 0.5% Coal Tar, 16 Fl Oz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jSmZz9IQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Scent** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will it take the color out of my hair?** A: I don't believe it will strip color but the bottle says it can temporarily discolor your hair. I have white towels and I've never had the shampoo discolor my towels after leaving my hair wrapped up in a towel for a long time. **Q: Porque lo an retirado del mercado** A: es fuerte, y se escama el cuero cabelludo **Q: How is the smell compares with neutrogena t-gel, does it have the same tar fragrance ? is the smell stroger or weaker ?** A: The smell is the active ingredient coal tar. I have been using this for a month now and the smell is slightly less pungent. This product works as well as the Neutrogena. **Q: The product description reads 0.5% coal tar but the pictures say 2.5%. Which is it? Very misleading** A: Coal tar cannot be added directly to the product and must be mixed in as an extract. The product contains 2.5% Solubilized Coal Tar Extract which amounts to 0.5% total Coal Tar. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic! Staph Aureous helper, Reduces Itch, Leaves hair soft and shiny!

It works just as well as Neutrogena's product that I have used for years to clarify my hair & scalp. The only issue is the packaging. Each time I have received this there is NO SEAL on the bottle, and despite it being wrapped in plastic, it leaks and makes a mess. I would not order this with any other products that might be damaged by shampoo, but for the price I guess it's worth the risk. Maybe Amazon could stop cutting corners with their packaging, but we all know that won't happen... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/91058996-true-real-therapeutic-plus-tar-gel-anti-dandruff-shampoo-original](https://www.desertcart.us/products/91058996-true-real-therapeutic-plus-tar-gel-anti-dandruff-shampoo-original) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
