Neutrogena T/Sal Therapeutic Shampoo 3% Salicylic Acid 🧴

This therapeutic shampoo from Neutrogena targets stubborn flakes and scalp build-up with a medicated formula that helps relieve itching and visible scaling for a cleaner, more comfortable scalp. Use it as a dandruff shampoo for scalp psoriasis or persistent seborrheic dermatitis to reduce crusty residue after rinsing, according to the manufacturer. 😊

Key Points

The formula works by softening and removing stubborn scales while helping to prevent new build-up between washes. It cleanses without added fragrance, color, or preservatives, which makes it suitable for people seeking a gentler medicated wash. The action continues briefly after rinsing, offering hours of relief from itching and flaking. This product also hydrates the scalp with a conditioning liquid base that avoids excessive drying.

For those managing multiple scalp conditions, the shampoo addresses dandruff, scalp psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis in a single product. Results can be noticeable after one use, according to the manufacturer, although recurring conditions may require regular use to maintain control. ⚖️

Usage Recommendations

Apply a small amount to wet hair and scalp, massaging gently to work the medicated lather into areas with visible scaling. Let the lather sit for a short period to allow the salicylic acid to soften and loosen deposits before rinsing thoroughly. For persistent or severe symptoms, follow a consistent routine as suggested by a dermatologist, and consider alternating with a gentle, non-medicated shampoo on days when intensive treatment is not needed. 🧴

Consider that salicylic acid can increase scalp sensitivity to sunlight for some users, so additional sun protection for the scalp may be useful if exposed. Also, because it targets heavy scale, this shampoo may not be necessary for occasional, mild flaking and might feel stronger than gentle daily shampoos.
