Normalizes keratinocyte turnover rate and helps prevent cell hyperproliferation

In a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, T/Gel® Shampoo with Neutar® Technology demonstrated complete scalp normalization in moderate to severe dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.1

Prior to treatment image

Prior to treatment

The scalp specimen exhibits parakeratotic cells, intracellular and intercellular lipid droplets, and disordered cellular layers.2

Following treatment with T/Gel® Shampoo image

Following treatment with T/Gel® Shampoo

Intracellular lipid droplets are significantly diminished (P<0.001), cell thickness is reduced (P<0.001), and no parakeratosis was observed.2

Coal-tar therapy emerging evidence

Additionally, there is emerging evidence that coal-tar therapy may play a key role in the restoration of epidermal barrier function.1

  • Coal-tar mediated activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling pathway may lead to improvement of skin barrier function and increased levels of filaggrin, an essential component in the regulation of epidermal homeostasis1
