Review: I have had dandruff for almost 14 years and this is so far the only product that has helped - DISCLAIMER: I can't comment on any lasting effects as I've only used it a few times since I bought it. The few times I've used this product it has cleared all loose flakes out my hair, completely eliminated any itching or inflammation and so far as I can tell cleared most of the dandruff of my actual scalp. So far this is a great product, I hope it fixes my problem but even if it doesn't it's a far better temporary fix than most. Head and Shoulders, Nizoral, Vosene, you name it I've probably tried it and nothing works well for my case. And as a bonus, unlike most medicated shampoos it actually has a fairly pleasant smell.
Review: Works well but has an interesting smell - This has helped clear up my scalp, where other anti dandruff options have failed to work.

A: Please kindly be noted the ingredients : Coal tar 0.1%, Juniper Tar oil 0.3%, Tar 0.3%, Arachis oil extract of coal tar 0.3%.Thank you very much.

**Q: Can I use it on dyed hair? And how long before a flakey scalp stops**

**Q: Boots' Polytar Shampoo comes in a box. Is this the same as that?**
A: polytar  shampoo  is realy  good  for scalp its realy  works but when it is  a bit clear  on head  keep washing it and it should be even better

**Q: Is Polytar tested on animals?**
A: Not sure if it is tested on animals sorry. When I tried this it had very chemically smell. Not like the original I'm used to so I binned it. Don't think it's the real polytar shampoo.
