Chemist 4 U don't just use manufacturer's descriptions. We use medical content writers to research the products and provide useful information in an easy to understand format.

We then have our qualified pharmacists check the content for both quality and accuracy.

We think that this is the level of service our customers should expect from us.

We don't think you should accept any less online.

What is Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo?

Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo is a shampoo that is intended to treat scalp conditions such as:

• Itchy, flaky scalp
• Dandruff
• Psoriasis
• Seborrhoeic dermatitis

It works by moisturising the damaged skin while protecting it from further irritation.

How does this Neutrogena shampoo work?

This shampoo works by helping to shed the dead skin that contributes to the skin condition and also slow down the production of new cells. Psoriasis is caused by excess skin cells being formed. Coal tar, the active ingredient, will also help to treat itching caused by any skin condition.

It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 and over. It is not suitable for anyone who is allergic to the ingredients contained in the shampoo. You should also not use this shampoo if you have a rare form of psoriasis that causes redness or inflammation of the skin.
