Neutrogena T/Sal 3% Salicylic Acid Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 8 fl oz — fragrance- and dye-free scalp exfoliant

Neutrogena T/Sal 3% Salicylic Acid Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a fragrance-free scalp exfoliant that uses 3% salicylic acid to help break down flakes and reduce buildup for a cleaner, healthier-looking scalp.

Designed for people battling persistent scalp buildup, dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis-related flaking, this 8 fl oz treatment shampoo exfoliates the scalp to loosen and remove stubborn scales. The formula contains maximum-strength 3% salicylic acid, is free from dyes, fragrances, alcohol, and preservatives, and is made to be gentle enough for regular use while remaining effective at controlling visible flakes.

How quickly will I see improvement after using T/Sal?

Many users notice a reduction in visible flakes and less itching after the first application, though continued use yields the best results. For ongoing control, it's recommended to use the shampoo at least twice weekly or as directed by a physician.

• Starts to loosen scales during the first wash
• Works both during and after rinsing to control buildup
• Consistent twice-weekly use helps maintain a clearer scalp

Can this shampoo be used on sensitive or daily-wash routines?

The formula is free of fragrances, dyes, alcohol, and preservatives, making it milder than many medicated shampoos while still offering the strength of 3% salicylic acid. It is often tolerated for frequent use, but patch testing or consulting a dermatologist is advised for highly reactive scalps.

• Fragrance- and dye-free to reduce irritation risk
• Gentle enough for regular use for many users
• Dermatologist-recommended brand with targeted active ingredient

What is the best way to use T/Sal for maximum effect?

Apply the shampoo directly to a wet scalp, massage it in, and leave it on for several minutes to let the salicylic acid penetrate and loosen flakes before rinsing. Repeat if needed and follow the twice-weekly guidance to control buildup over time.

• Wet hair and scalp thoroughly before applying
• Massage in and allow several minutes of contact time
• Rinse well, repeat if desired, and use routinely to maintain results

Will this affect my hair’s look and feel after use?

Besides reducing flakes and buildup, T/Sal lathers to cleanse the hair and scalp, helping hair look cleaner and less weighed down by residue. Because it is dye- and fragrance-free, it won't add artificial scents or colorants to your hair care routine.

• Cleansing lather removes loose scales and oil buildup
• Leaves hair looking clearer and less flaky
• No added fragrances or dyes that can mask scalp issues

Who is this for: Neutrogena T/Sal 3% Salicylic Acid Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is intended for people struggling with persistent flaking, scalp buildup, or itching associated with dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis. It suits users who prefer a fragrance-free, dermatologist-endorsed treatment that can be incorporated into a regular cleansing routine to help manage visible flakes and scalp residue. If you have a severely reactive scalp or are under a doctor’s care for a scalp condition, consult your healthcare provider before beginning any medicated shampoo.
