P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions 1. Wet your hair. 2. Use enough shampoo so that the lather is abundant to cover your scalp, hair and adjacent areas, if also affected. 3. Massage the scalp and adjacent areas well using your fingertips. 4. Rinse your scalp and hair thoroughly. 5. Repeat steps 2 to 4. Polytar Scalp Shampoo should be in contact with your scalp for a total time of three to five minutes over the two applications. If you use more than recommended you may be more likely to get skin irritation or skin sensitivity to sunlight. If you forget to use Polytar Scalp Shampoo just apply the next day instead. Safety Warning Polytar Scalp Shampoo may cause irritancy if in contact with sensitive areas, such as broken or inflamed skin. Stop using if irritation develops. Avoid contact with the eyes. If it gets in your eyes, rinse with clean water. Avoid exposure to strong sunlight or sun beds. If exposure cannot be avoided, wear protective clothing and sunscreen. Can stain skin or clothes and can rarely cause a temporary change in hair colour. Do not smoke or go near naked flames - risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it. Manufacturer Contact Information Thornton & Ross Ltd., Huddersfield, HD7 5QH, UK See more

Review: Amazing! - I struggle with psoriasis which is worsened by stress. I tried this shampoo a couple of years ago when the patches were so severe that my confidence to go to a hairdressers or go out was at an all time low. After a few uses all I could see was faint marks of patches that made me miserable only a few weeks before. I now use it often and sparingly as it dries my lengths. I’ve paid various prices but for me it’s completely worth it to get my life back on track
Review: Amazing!!! - Used t gel for years up until recently. But they’ve removed the coal tar so is useless for my hair and leaves it really limp and greasy. One wash with this shampoo all itchiness on scalp has gone, no flakes and shiny soft hair. Love it!!!!!

Used t gel for years up until recently. But they’ve removed the coal tar so is useless for my hair and leaves it really limp and greasy. One wash with this shampoo all itchiness on scalp has gone, no flakes and shiny soft hair. Love it!!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product but smells bad
*by Z***D on 29 August 2025*

This shampoo really works and has helped my scalp a lot, it is much less itchy and I only use it about once every two weeks. The only downside is that it does smell quite bad and even the bottle itself makes our cupboard quite stinky so we keep it in a plastic bag.
