Over 9,000 shoppers swear by this £5 shampoo for fighting dry, flaky and itchy scalps

Whether you’re looking for relief from itching or want to say goodbye to dandruff for good, there’s one cult-favourite scalp care product that shoppers can’t get enough of: the Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo.

The bitterly cold winter air combined with central heating and excessive heat styling can take its toll on even the healthiest scalps leaving them dry, flaky and irritated.

But according to hoards of Amazon shoppers, the perfect remedy is the Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo. Users describe it as a ‘must-have’ for itchy scalps and praise its ability to treat symptoms after just a few uses. 

Suffering with an itchy scalp? An anti-dandruff shampoo like the Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo can help alleviate the problem and tackle dandruff

Even better? It only costs £4.99 (now 20 per cent off) to treat your head to some major TLC.

The top-rated shampoo from Neutrogena, which has amassed over 9,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, is loaded with coal tar, which is an ingredient that’s proven to reduce inflammation and help treat itchy flaky scalp disorders. And despite having a strong medicinal scent, fans say it’s worth it for the exceptional results.

‘Results after first wash!’ one shopper wrote in their review of the shampoo. ‘Strong scent – not everyone will like, kind of lingers after washing & drying hair. 

‘Day two and product has def soothed the scalp & reduced dandruff after first wash. Highly recommend.’

‘This shampoo quickly helps with itching and flaking of the scalp,’ another user commented in their five-star review. 

‘Hair is left soft, with a beautiful shine. As a medicated shampoo it has an aroma when being washed, but it soon fades away.’

A third shopper added: ‘Great product for someone suffering with itchy flaky scalp. Used twice and noticed an immediate difference.’

As the Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo effectively washes away excess oil and debris, other shoppers claim it helps treat and prevent troublesome scalp acne too.

One wrote: ‘I suffer from scalp acne, and this product has helped reduce it. It has cleaned my scalp, and it’s only been a week.

‘I definitely recommend this to others who suffer from scalp issues. However, it may not work for everyone.’

The Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo is recommended for those with scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff, but it also effectively removes build-up from hair care and styling products and can be used for any hair type.
