Morovan Coal Tar Dandruff Shampoo 2% – Medicated Treatment for Severe Dandruff, Psoriasis & Itch Control

This concentrated shampoo combines 2% coal tar with nourishing, mild cleansing agents to address heavy flakes, itching and excessive oil without stripping hair. It is formulated to slow overactive scalp cell turnover and reduce sebum buildup so visible flakes and scalp discomfort are minimized. The texture rinses clean and leaves hair manageable with added moisture to help maintain shine between washes.

How does this shampoo tackle stubborn flakes and itching?

The coal tar in this formula works by slowing the rapid formation of scalp skin cells, one of the drivers behind visible flaking. The cleansing base removes excess oil and product buildup so flakes are less likely to reappear. Regular use can reduce the appearance of dandruff while calming sensations of itch that often accompany a flaky scalp.

• Contains 2% coal tar to address the source of excessive scalp cell production.
• Deep-cleansing surfactants remove sebum and styling residue for clearer skin surfaces.
• Soothing, low-irritation formulation suitable for sensitive scalps.

Can this product be used for scalp conditions like psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis?

The shampoo is formulated to target common symptoms linked to scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, such as heavy flaking and inflammation-prone areas. While not a diagnostic tool, the ingredients aim to reduce visible flaking and help normalize scalp oil production, supporting a more comfortable scalp environment.

• Coal tar supports reduction of visible scaling associated with plaque-forming conditions.
• Hydrating components help maintain moisture to avoid excessive dryness after washing.
• Suitable for periodic medicated use alongside routine hair care.

How should I use Morovan Coal Tar Shampoo for best results?

Use the shampoo as directed on the label: apply to wet hair, lather thoroughly, and leave on the scalp briefly before rinsing to allow the active ingredient time to work. Frequency can vary by severity—some users begin with a few uses per week and adjust based on improvement and skin sensitivity. Follow with a gentle conditioner if needed to maintain hair softness.

• Apply to wet hair, massage into the scalp, leave on for 2–5 minutes, then rinse well.
• Start with 2–3 uses per week, then reduce frequency as scalp improves.
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately if contact occurs.

Will this shampoo dry out my hair or strip color-treated strands?

Morovan’s formula balances coal tar’s therapeutic action with mild, hydrating ingredients to preserve hair moisture and shine. It is designed to be gentle, but as with any medicated shampoo, those with chemically treated or color-treated hair should monitor results and use a compatible conditioner or color-protecting treatment when needed.

• Mild conditioning agents help lock in moisture and maintain shine.
• Use a color-safe conditioner after washing if you have dyed hair.
• Adjust frequency to avoid potential over-drying for very fine or porous hair.

Who is this for: Morovan Coal Tar Dandruff Shampoo is intended for adults and teens seeking a stronger medicated option for persistent dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis or scalp scaling. It's well suited for people who need a targeted treatment that reduces flakes and oiliness while helping hair stay nourished. Those with sensitive or color-treated hair should patch-test and tailor usage frequency to their hair’s response.
