I have tried many different shampoos, even prescription ones that cost 120 dollars per bottle! None of them took care of the intense itching, heavy flaking, redness, and scaling. I found this one at CVS pharmacy. I thought I'd try it knowing that it just wouldn't work. The first time I tried it, I loved it. The itching is gone! The scaling and redness are gone. There is still a tiny bit of flaking, but not much. I use it 2 times a week and do a VO5 Hot Oil treatment in between. My hair is shinny and my scalp doesn't keep me awake all night. I highly recommend this product.

For me, the coal tar is the important part to any scalp treatment. I have used this and other coal tar shampoos for 20+ years.
Originally I used a dermatologist prescribed shampoo. It worked great and smelled pretty good, considering. It was a huge hassle and expensive though so I eventually switched to Denorex with coal tar solution. I used that for years when suddenly my scalp started having issues again. I worried that I had developed an immunity to it's effects... until I read the label and saw that they stopped adding the coal tar! I felt betrayed.
My local Albertsons carried MG217 so I started using it. They discontinued it and a lot of other things which brought me here to purchase it.
Like any coal tar shampoos, it is rough on your hair and frankly smells like coal tar. I use a good conditioner though.
The bottom line is it works for me.

I have had to use tar shampoos since my high school days. Initially I used Tegrin, but by my late twenties it no longer fully relieved the problems of itching, redness, and scaling. Not until I turned thirty and saw a dermatologist did I discover the true nature of my skin problems, almost wholly centered on the scalp and areas of facial hair--I have had a beard since my late teens. The doctor prescribed Tetracycline, with a one-month regimen, and Pentrax Coal Tar Shampoo. That did the trick, and more!
Then around 2007 Pentrax was inexplicably withdrawn, the producer giving a manufacturing issue excuse--not a credible reason after so many years on the market. I tried T-Gel, which did not even come close to controlling symptoms; Tarsum, by Summers Laboratories, rated at 2% coal tar, and it helped, but very little; then came PsoriaTrax 5% Coal Tar Shampoo, billed as the successor to Pentrax, and thought that somebody had finally "gotten it," but the symptoms remained, and even seemed to get worse.
Finally, in desperation, I tried MG217, which I had seen on the shelves of several pharmacies--primarily CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens (inexplicably, Duane Reade, and other regional chains do not carry it--bad purchasing practice). Even though MG217 is rated at only 3%, as opposed to the 5% of Pentrax and PsoriaTrax, it works MUCH better, fully relieving ALL symptoms, and without the usual burning sensation produced by PsoriaTrax! It is not clear to me why a product with 3% coal tar would work better than one with 5%, but I do not really care so long as it works--and IT DOES.
