Truly amazed
Not one for over stating but used this shampoo once & found it had an immediate & desired effect. Would definitely recommend. The smell is fine for those wondering.
Didn't work for me
I know it works for many people but didn't work for me and I just can't abide the smell which I found very powerful and could still smell it on my hands at the end of the day. The search continues......
the only product that worked
my daughter had cradle cap until she was 3 and nothing worked until I tried this. It cleared her scalp of any trace within 6 weeks - couldn't be happier!
As good today as it has always been
I have been using T-Gel for years to keep my scalp healthy and flake free. I have tried other shampoos but always come back to T-Gel to soothe a dry & itchy scalp. It used to be quite strong smelling and gloopy but both these problems have been addressed. If you are thinking of trying it or are coming back after using other shampoos, I would recommend this as the best medicated shampoo on the market.
