    “Absolute rubbish”

    ★☆☆☆☆

    written by enderoz123 on 30/05/2018

    I am 11 years old and i have used this product twice this week and ever since i have used it when i have gone to bed my hair has been falling out all over my pillow and i read the packet label and it says it contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, would not recommend using this as it doesn't work and will leave you worse off with extreme hair problems and and a burning scalp and possibly cancer. It is also really expensive and the extra strength one can not be bought in the uk because it is not allowed by clinics because it has chemicals known to cause cancer.

    “This has ruined my hair!!”

    ★☆☆☆☆

    written by on 06/12/2015

    I bought this shampoo to relieve a sore and flaky scalp and it has ruined my hair. I only used T-Gel once and ever since every time I wash my hair it looks and feels horrible and greasy and stays 'damp' for hours after drying. Yes, I have dyed hair but have had it dyed since using this product and there was no reaction at all. My scalp is even more sore after using this shampoo and I have a G.P. appointment this week. Dreadful stuff - avoid it .

    “Neutrogena T Gel Shampoo and Conditioner - Great Product!”

    ★★★★★

    written by Lcmazzit on 27/09/2015

    I have had an increasingly scaly, itchy scalp for ~6 months and other than going to the dermatologist, had no idea what to do. Finally went to the drug store and stumbled across this T-Gel shampoo and conditioner, so thought I'd give it a try. Well, I have to say that after using it 3 times, my flakiness and itch has significantly diminished. Also, my hair feels and looks absolutely amazing! I am an admitted shampoo-aholic, trying everything I can get my hands on that promises big, beautiful, bouncy hair. After finding that those claims literally fall flat after a couple of washings, I was shocked that the T-gel shampoo and conditioner has made my hair look and feel amazing with incredible bounce, fullness and shine! I am so happy to have found this duo and in terms of the 'smell' not sure where people are coming up with the smell of tar, but I kinda like the fragrance and it is in no way overpowering. Highly recommend for both the medical aspect and improved condition of your hair!

    “Worked the first day!!!”

    ★★★★★

    written by ManitobaGal on 24/04/2015

    i got dandruff for the first time in my life. Tried a popular anti-dandruff shampoo for 3 days and no results. My scalp was so itchy I put Moroccan oil on it overnight and then had greasy gross hair for days after plus the same amount of flakes. I have dark hair so it really showed. Then my fiancé told me if I got the T/gel it would work immediately. Bought it, washed, and VOILA! No more flakes and no more dandruff at all! Finally a product that does what it says! SO happy! It's the Buckley's of anti-dandruff shampoo! Smells off (I wouldn't say horrible...like road construction...I've smelled way worse) but it works. Price was reasonable, not horrific at all. SO relieved that something got rid of the flakes and grease!!! Thanks Johnson & Johnson!

    “My hair looked awful and snapped!! AVOID!!!”

    ★☆☆☆☆

    written by Goodebp45 on 04/03/2014

    Used this product twice after developing an itchy scalp. My hair when dried appeared to have snapped off and was very wispy, it looks awful. I have blonde highlighted hair, and checked on the bottle that it was safe to use. There was no warning regarding this so I went ahead and used as directed. My scalp felt better initially but I was horrified when I dried my hair. I am going to contact my hairdresser to see what I can do, but I certainly would NEVER use this again or recommend it.

    “Actually gave me dandruff ”

    ★☆☆☆☆

    written by Ebaldwin on 16/02/2014

    I like to use the Neutrogena Anti-Buildup shampoo every once in a while, but the 2 stores I went to were out & I was told it was discontinued. I made a mistake and got the Tgel Scalp buildup shampoo and used it once and have had horrible itchy, dry, flaky scalp for a month now and I don't know how to fix it. I never had this issue and it is an everyday problem, it's driving me crazy. Tgel made my scalp obsessively itchy and it is so bad that it looks like it is snowing when I finally give in and itch my scalp like a dog with fleas. I am very unhappy and I feel robbed of my healthy balanced scalp. You suck Tgel!!!

    “The Fragrance is Terrible”

    ★★★☆☆

    written by on 27/07/2013

    I have used T/Gel for years for itchy, flaky patches on my scalp. The results are quick and I would give this product 5 stars if it weren't for the new fragrance. It smells awful and I have some allergic reaction to it. The new fragrance has got to go. I recently had a stress caused episode of guttate psoriasis on my chest. Nothing worked to clear it up. I washed the area with T/Gel shampoo and it cleared up the rash in a few days. But my eyes were burning until the smell faded, which took quite a while. Please bring back the fragrance free version. I don't think I can deal with the fragrance surrounding my head. Don't know what I will do when the itchy, flaky scalp returns.

    “Original Formula”

    ★★★★★

    written by on 05/05/2013

    I would look past all the negative reviews here and give it a shot. I had some bad psoriasis going on and after the first time I used the original formula t-gel, I noticed a change in both itching and size of the bumps on my head. My dandruff has pretty much passed as well. This stuff worked great for me. All I had to do was prioritize my priorities of either beating the psoriasis and have my hair not looking silky smooth for a couple weeks or suffer and hope to find something that cures and makes my hair look great. Know what I mean?

    “not satisfied”

    ★☆☆☆☆

    written by on 15/10/2012

    I am a senior with a long history of dandruff, flaking scalp. One of the products I was using successfully is no longer available. So I tried this product . It temporary ( 24 hours ) gave me some relief however I would say it has not performed as well as the previous product I used. My hair was limp and felt dirty all the time. I find the fragrance used is offensive to me.

    “I helped but hair ist still lifeless and dull”

    ★★★☆☆

    written by on 03/08/2012

    I have bought this product because I could not use fragrance stuff, caused me itchy scalp. It helped me to get rid off itching but my hair left dull and lifeless although it was promise about shiny hair. For couple years I am struggling with thinning, falling hair. It seems nothing works, I am giving up, it just wasting time and your money.

    “I have been using this for 3 weeks now. I wanted a...”

    ★★★★★

    written by on 08/05/2011

    I have been using this for 3 weeks now. I wanted a shampoo that would help with greasy hair as I had to wash mine everyday. Also, I wanted a shampoo that would clear dandruff and mild psoriasis.
    I think this shampoo is v. good. It has made my hair less greasy and less dandruff. However, it has not completly got rid of all dandruff. It has also cleared 90% of psoriasis so far. I can cope with the smell as it is like Teetree oil.
    It is a good shampoo and good for money.

    The down sides: it was expensive at first and would be if it didn't work. You need quite a bit to get it to lather so runs out quickly. But overall it is excellent

    “I am 10 which is 2 years younger than the recomended...”

    ★★☆☆☆

    written by on 03/03/2011

    I am 10 which is 2 years younger than the recomended age and it's rubish!!!!!! I used it after my scalp was extremly icthy but not very flaky. I have been using it about 2 times a week for 3 weeks and it hasn't improved my scalp. It has helped a bit but not a lot. I feel it would help people with a less itchy scalp but people like me would not realy beifit them. One thing that would have helped would be like a rate of how many people who have tried it would reccomend it to a friend.
    So all in all I would rate T Gel 2/5.

    “I used this shampoo as my scalp was slightly itchy due...”

    ★☆☆☆☆

    written by on 09/02/2011

    I used this shampoo as my scalp was slightly itchy due to a hair that had been applied. The packaging said for "itchy" scalp. Within two/three hours after using the product my scalp was burning. The symptoms continued through the night and severely the next day. My head was literally burning. When I consulted the pharmacist I was told that I had this reaction because of the coal tar content and the fact that my hair had been coloured. There should be a CLEAR warning on the packaging.

    “I used T gel to relieve psoriasis and an embarrassing...”

    ★★★★☆

    written by tijen on 04/02/2011

    I used T gel to relieve psoriasis and an embarrassing itchy flaky scalp, caused from an allergic reaction to hair dye. Neutrogena worked wonders for my hair, the itchiness almost immediately stopped, my scalp feels like it can breathe again........the smell wasn't an issue for me, I kind of liked it! However due to over sensitive skin I had one of the side effects, my face broke out into acne, so as a result I have had to stop using it.

    Don't use it every day; of course it will be too much for the scalp due to the chemicals. I used mine twice a week at most.

    Despite my side effect, the product did do wonders for my hair, making it shiny and volumised. Only 1 in 10,000 get the acne break out, I was just unfortunate enough to be that statistic.

    Definitely recommend!!!

    “out of the blue, I developed a scalp condition...”

    ★★★★★

    written by on 01/12/2010

    out of the blue, I developed a scalp condition (itching,soreness,flakiness etc) never having had any such thing before. My doctor suggested various treatments which were agony and then, as i was evidently reacting badly to those, suggested T/Gel, as it doesn't contain alcohol. And, amazingly, it was a success. I use it twice weekly when the condition is bad and then once weekly afterwards.
    Yes, if your hair is treated cosmetically, it does leave it feeling 'matted' and so all you need to do is apply a creamy conditioner to those areas.
    It is not a good idea to wash the hair daily, if scalp dryness is a problem, and certainly not use T/Gel more than twice weekly.
    I certainly would recommend it.

    “My question is does Neutrogena T/Gel help reduce acne...”

    ★★★☆☆

    written by on 30/11/2010

    My question is does Neutrogena T/Gel help reduce acne in the scalp? I have been looking for a product that relieves this condition, and I don't know if the acne is due to oily scalp or something else. I also hope this product does not make the acne worse? I bought it on a whim and later realized that it treats psoriasis, which I don't have, so I am trying to guage the usefulness of this product for people like me.
    Also, can T/Gel be combined with other shampoos?

    “I used Neutrogena T Gel shampoo 3 times according to...”

    ★☆☆☆☆

    written by on 09/09/2010

    I used Neutrogena T Gel shampoo 3 times according to the directions due to psoriasis and I have now lost Over a half a head of hair due to this product. I don't know why this product is on the market as a shampoo if it makes hair fall out. I quit using it over a month ago and my hair is still falling out drastically every day when I shower and when I brush it. I have been considering getting a wig and soon I think I will have to. Don't understand why it works well for some and makes others hair fall out. I do not recommend it. Oh and when I wrote this review the only reason why it got a star at all is because it is mandatory to leave one.

    I had an allergic reaction to this shampoo. My forehead and eye area swelled up and my hair started falling out. I only used it twice, 3 weeks ago, and my hair is still falling out in clumps. I have lost about a third of my hair and don't know if this is permanent. Does anyone know if it is?

    I used this product after an allergic reaction...not sure if its supposed to be used for that but it worked REALLY well.. However the smell of this product is really discusting and lingers in the hair, and it makes hair all stiff and tangled..was a nightmare when my scalp was sore ..OUCH, However it relived my symptoms and there for it was worth it. :)
