Clark's Medicated Dandruff Shampoo, 8 fl oz — 0.5% Coal Tar, 3% Salicylic Acid, Fragrance-Free

Clark's Medicated Dandruff Shampoo combines 0.5% coal tar, 3% salicylic acid, and 1.5% sulfur in a focused formula to help control visible flakes and relieve scalp itching when used as directed.

This full-spectrum medicated shampoo is designed for people seeking intensive dandruff management without added fragrance or cosmetic additives. The three active ingredients work in complementary ways: salicylic acid helps break down and shed visible scale, coal tar supports scalp comfort and flake control, and sulfur contributes to reducing flaking and scalp irritation. The product rinses clean with a naturally medicinal scent that typically diminishes after rinsing; you can follow with a regular shampoo if you prefer a fragranced finish.

How does this formula reduce visible flakes?

The shampoo uses salicylic acid at 3% to help loosen and lift hardened scales from the scalp, making visible flakes easier to remove during washing. Regular use as directed supports ongoing flake management.

• 3% salicylic acid helps reduce scaling and encourages shedding of visible flakes.
• Consistency of use improves visible flake reduction over multiple washes.
• Pairs with rinsing to physically remove loosened flakes from the scalp.

Will it relieve itching and scalp discomfort?

Coal tar (0.5%) and sulfur (1.5%) are included to help soothe and control symptoms associated with dandruff and scalp conditions. They act together to support scalp comfort without added fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin.

• Coal tar helps calm scalp itching associated with flaking.
• Sulfur supports reduction of flaking and associated discomfort.
• Fragrance-free, clinical formulation reduces the risk of added irritation.

How should I use Clark's Medicated Dandruff Shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair, lather, and leave on the scalp briefly before rinsing to allow active ingredients time to work. For persistent flaking, use as directed on the label and consider alternating with your regular shampoo if you prefer a scented finish.

• Wet hair thoroughly, apply shampoo, and massage into the scalp.
• Allow a short contact time before rinsing to let actives work effectively.
• Follow label directions; you may follow with a regular shampoo if desired.

Are there any sensory or practical notes I should know?

This is a clinical, no-frills formula that focuses on performance rather than fragrance or cosmetic benefits. Expect a natural medicinal scent that usually fades after rinsing; the product is formulated to rinse clean and leave no heavy residue.

• Medicinal scent is normal and generally dissipates after rinse.
• Designed without added fragrance or cosmetic enhancers.
• Rinses clean, suitable for those seeking straightforward medicated control.

Who this is for: Clark's Medicated Dandruff Shampoo is aimed at adults seeking an intensive, pharmacy-strength approach to visible flake and itch control. It's a good fit for those diagnosed with dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or scalp psoriasis who want a concentrated, fragrance-free treatment to use as part of their scalp-care routine. If you prefer scented or conditioning shampoos, consider using this product as a targeted treatment alternating with your regular haircare.
