Safety Warning For external use only See more 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. ## Features - Polytar Liquid 150 Ml Concentrated Antispetic Tar Scalp Cleanser - 150ml ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00H4UNV9Q | | ASIN | B00H4UNV9Q | | Active Ingredients | Coal Tar | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Benefits | Anti-Dandruff, Psoriasis Seborrheic dermatitis Eczema Itchiness and scaling | | Best Sellers Rank | 119,635 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) 3,638 in Shampoos (Beauty) | | Brand Name | Polytar | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,134) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,134) | | Hair Type | All | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 36 x 76 x 162 millimetres | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 181 g | | Item model number | 402-1820 | | Liquid Volume | 150 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Stiefel labs | | Manufacturer | Stiefel labs | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4021820 5054563013491 | | Material Type Free | Formaldehyde Free | | Model Number | 402-1820 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Coal Tar | | Product Dimensions | 3.6 x 7.6 x 16.2 cm; 181.44 g | | Recommended Uses For Product | Eczema,Psoriasis,Reduce Dandruff | | Scent Name | Pine | | Suitable Hair Colour | All Hair Colours | | UPC | 811995739390 | | Unit Count | 150.0 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Polytar - **Hair type:** All - **Item form:** Liquid - **Scent:** Pine ## Images ![Polytar Scalp Shampoo 150ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zRuygKYYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's actually in it? I mean what ingredients?** 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** A: My hair is dyed and I haven't noticed a change in shade. When I have used it before it was very successful in removing the flakes however although I have noticed a considerable improvement, as I have a severe bout of psoriasis at the moment it has not cleared it all up yet. **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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have had dandruff for almost 14 years and this is so far the only product that has helped *by S***R on 29 September 2018* DISCLAIMER: I can't comment on any lasting effects as I've only used it a few times since I bought it.
