Neutrogena T/Gel Shampoo

Until recently, it was many years since I'd used T/Gel shampoo. It was always my last, desperate remedy for dandruff; last and desperate because of the strong coal tar smell, the fact that it made my hair feel really coarse and dry, and the relative expense of the shampoo. However, a recent flirtation with Clairol Herbal Essences (see separate op), on a BOGOF offer at Tesco, had brought my dandruff to outrageous proportions, which called for desperate measures. The itch was driving me mad, I was regretting the dark blue sofa, and the cat had taken to wearing snow goggles around the house, so it was time to check my bank balance and head for Tesco. T/Gel is a ...  Read the complete review

I have been suffering from moderate dandruff since my teenage days and initially I started using Selsun and then Head & Shoulders, which was my choice until just recently. Infact I had written an opinion previously on Head & Shoulders and titled “Your Scalp is Addicted”. I meant every word I said in that opinion in that if you use Head & Shoulders, as I have been doing, on a regular basis i.e. every two days minimum, the dandruff will stay away. However if you stop for a short while or change to a regular shampoo the dandruff quickly reappears and in a pretty bad way. Your scalp is extremely addicted to it. I thought that dandruff treatment shampoos ...  Read the complete review

Since birth my 6 year old son has suffered with an itchy, flaky scalp. I was told it was just cradle cap and it would just disappear. However, by the age of 4 it was still there and still in full-flow. This persuaded me that the problem wouldn't just disappear by itself so tried pretty much every shampoo and scalp solution known to man to try and combat the problem. Eventually, by recommendation by a friend suffering a similar problem, I tried Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo. I had seen it advertised on TV quite regularly but never really associated it with the problems my son was suffering with as I thought he would need a specialist treatment to solve the problem ...  Read the complete review

For some time I have been suffering from a dry, itchy and flaky scalp. The problem had recently become a lot worse and I put this down to extra stress at work. I had tried most of the products on the market such as head and shoulders and vosene but these not only left my hair feeling dry but also just did not work for me. Several weeks ago I was in Boots and saw T-Gel shampoo on the shelf. I decided to take a closer look mainly because it looked less like a fashion product and more like something you would get on prescription! T-Gel comes in 2 sizes, 125 ml that costs £3.99 and 250 ml at £7.95.I decided to go for the bigger bottle to give this stuff a chance to work. ...  Read the complete review

For some weeks I'd been having an annoyingly itchy and flaky scalp, but no actual dandruff. I don't know why I just carried on using a normal shampoo for such a long time, and then suddenly remembered that there was half a bottle of T Gel Dermatological shampoo in the bathroom cabinet that would surely be worth a try. Unfortunately I had not kept the outer cardboard box, which seemed like unnecessary extra packaging. I say unfortunately, as the bottle was now half empty. When full, it's easy to read the white lettering on the outside of the bottle against the dark brown colour of the shampoo. But as the level of the shampoo goes down, you find yourself trying ...  Read the complete review
