MG217 Psoriasis 3% Coal Tar Therapeutic Scalp Treatment, 4 Fl Oz

For a long time, I had what I thought was dandruff, and I was like, pathetic about trying to do anything about it. I used some Neutrogena T-something shampoo and then when that didn't work I just resigned myself to it. But then I read about MG217 in some blog on reddit, and someone said they had good results using the shampoo with a shampoo brush (you can get the brush on amazon or cheaper at Sally Beauty Supply). This shampoo has parabens in it, which people are like 'oh no' about, but if you read this source parabens are fine so whateves ([...]). OK, so even if parabens aren't great, it literally does not matter because this shampoo worked overnight for me. I'm pretty sure I was dealing with seborrheic dermatitis, and it is now completely gone, and I only use this shampoo once a week. I don't use other shampoos. Smells weird like medicine, but again, whatever, because my scalp is healed.

I suffer from vitiligo, psoriasis and eczema. The worst of the three was the scalp psoriasis, which left my head with painful, insanely itchy welts. I shed tons and tons of skin (which looks like dandruff). I went to a dermatologist and despite my common sense diagnosis, they wanted me to spend money and do an allergy test. So I never went back. I tried lots of natural and home remedies with no avail. Rubbed in coconut oil. EVERYTHING. And I suffered for five years. I tried this product out of moderate desperation. I applied it to my scalp and it smells like a mechanic's garage. My husband describes it as an "earthy smell". I wasn't a fan of it at first, but after a few days, I notice it less and less and the smell doesn't stay with you after a rinse. It didn't work right away, but as I described, my scalp was really bad. I noticed a drastic change after about two weeks. I do still shed a little, but nothing like I used to. Let's just say I'm comfortable wearing black again. My scalp is no longer raised and red. And most importantly, I am no longer itchy!!!! I am amazingly grateful for this product and I will continue to purchase it in the future.

I wasn't too sure how I felt about the color being a dark brown/black but the smell wasn't so bad. It slathered all over my scalp just enough. After I washed it off and rinsed, my scalp felt so clean. I couldn't wait for my hair to finish drying to actually see the real results. I didn't see any dandruff any where. It was completely gone. That was only one wash. I can't wait to wash my hair again. So far so good!

This is the only thing I've ever been able to use that actually shows immediate results. Ive had scalp psoriasis since I was like 10....I'm now 35. I remember my mom using this on me. I've tried looking for alternatives for years because I dye my hair (currently pink), and obviously this stuff can and will strip color. I've tried both natural, expensive Sephora or at home treatments and nothing has ever had as immediate result as using this. At its worse, my scalp will have raised scales, itchy, INSANE flakes and shedding. This stuff will work after just the first use, but you will need to continue usage. ***Side note: the scalp treatment is basically the same as the shampoo. It lathers as well. You don't need to use both. I use this because I'd rather focus on just the scalp and not wash all my hair***

I was very upset to get this on June 7th, 2021 and find that it had expired last month. I am not impressed but I figured instead of dealing with the hassle of trying to exchange it ect... I'm just going to use it in hopes it helps somewhat. It may not be as "Strong" or "Powerful" as it should be but ill give it a shot. I read reviews that the smell was terrible and don't buy it whatever. Of course it is going to not smell great it has tar, so common sense. I didn't think it was that bad, reminds me of T-gel shampoo a little. I didn't give it 5 stars because it was expired, and the simple fact i have only used it a couple weeks and I am not sure if i am getting the full effect of it. I will say though I do think it is helping with some of the flakes.

This product was awesome. Went to buy it again and unavailable. Bought something similar thinking it would be similar so wrong. This product needs to be back in stock. It helped my scalp so much and now it’s unavailable.

Works great! I use it once maybe twice a week. It has a petroleum smell to it. But after you wash it out the scent is difficult to smell. All though I have very short hair and the scent may not stay very long. But I have used other conditioner after its use and then I can say with 100% certainty that the scent is not present. Its better than the constant Psoriasis all over the shoulders and shirts. I will be buying it again.

Keeps my psoriasis flakes away. I have no flakes and red, itchy patches much less often. Almost no dry patches, except if I skip use. Perspiration results in stinging almost burning sensation at the nape and around my ears and crown. I control it by I thoroughly cleansing with either the MG217 shampoo and conditioner combo or just the MG217 shampoo to wash before treating. I use at least once or twice weekly. I scrub it on scalp and leave on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing cleaning and follow with any deep conditioning treatment. I have naturally black, thick curly hair. Difficult to contain or tame into any hair band or pony tail without a daily styling product . It is curly, wavy and very frizzy and dry if I don't use a deep conditioner. I am Cuban and I am mixed race. I no longer use the medicated treatments my doctors prescribed.

Used for mild head psoriasis. It did not work. I might even believe it made my scalp flakier. Will try one more use to confirm. Not happy as it was an expensive purchase. Do not reccoemend

Lo compré para mi Mamá y sí noto una mejoría en su psoriasis

Buenísimo para la psoriasis.

No tengo Psoriasis, pero si tenia comezon, residuos parecidos a la caspa y cabello grasoso que los shampoos comerciales o H&S no podian arreglar. Este es un buen producto para quienes sufren de cuero cabelludo graso o para darle un reset al pelo en general. Tiene un aroma fuerte pero se quita cuando el pelo esta completamente seco.

Todo llegó a tiempo y excelente
