Our product has a penetrating oil base with 10% salicylic acid to break up and remove flakes and scaling and 10% coal tar which acts to reduce flake formation, relieve itching and return scalp skin formation to a more normal state.
The high potency of our product plus the overnight contact time with the scalp produces results which often cannot be achieved with shampoos or cortisone lotions.
The product is applied directly to the scalp at night with the dropper supplied and left on overnight. In the morning, shampoo is applied to the hair and the product washed out. For good results this needs to be done daily for about 2 weeks. This can be inconvenient but results are excellent.
Once the scalp has returned to normal, I recommend using any good tar based shampoo once or twice a week as maintenance treatment.
The problem may recur after some months and then the treatment will need to be repeated.
Good results occur in most people within 14 days. The product has a 100% money back guarantee if it does not perform to your satisfaction.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
David Hosking.
