I was constantly getting these irritating pimple like bumps on the back of my scalp. I didn’t understand why, I wash my hair everyday in the mornings before work, and at night before going to sleep. I’m a heavy sweater with oily skin. I tried multiple shampoos, sometimes spending $50 plus on bottles to see if they would rid of the bumps, nothing seemed to work and this went on for a couple of years. When I would get haircuts, I would have to remind my barber about the bumps so he wouldn’t shave too close or else the bumps would bleed, this happened a few times and got me to the point I would be apprehensive about getting a haircut. When I did get a haircut, the bumps were very noticeable causing me to be self conscious about my issue, a couple of my friends even noticed and mentioned the bump (so embarrasing!) I’m not sure why I even tried this shampoo, but luckily I did. This Neutrogena shampoo was the cure. I first purchased this product back on August in 2024, within 4-6 weeks of using this shampoo daily, my bumps and irritations are no longer! Thank you Neutrogena!!!! It’s now June of 2025 and it’s the only shampoo I will ever use. It’s a small bottle at 4.5 ounces, but it last me about a month, because you don’t have to apply a lot, and again I wash my hair twice a day. I would pay 4 times the amount if I had to, because this truly solved my issue. My hair feels clean after washing it, doesn’t leave any weird odors and it works. This $7.50 bottle of shampoo has been a god send to me. Definitely try it if you have a similar issue. Give it time to work, nothing works instantly, took me 4-6 weeks to get my results.

Effective Ingredients, but Results Vary and Bottle is Small
By Darshil on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2025
I purchased the Neutrogena T/Sal Therapeutic Scalp Shampoo after reading about its 3% salicylic acid formula, hoping it would help manage scalp buildup and occasional flaking caused by seborrheic dermatitis. I’ve used other medicated shampoos in the past, but many left my hair feeling overly dry or provided only temporary relief. With this product, the results have been mixed, which is why I’m giving it three stars. On the positive side, the salicylic acid definitely helps with exfoliating the scalp. After a few uses, I noticed less itchiness and reduced visible flaking. It’s especially effective when left on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing. The formula isn’t overly harsh, and it didn’t strip my hair completely of moisture, which is a plus. However, the results weren’t as consistent as I’d hoped. Sometimes it seemed to work well, and other times the itching and flaking returned the next day. I also noticed it works better when used in rotation with other shampoos rather than as a standalone solution. Another important note: the scent is very clinical, which might be off-putting for some, although it does rinse out fairly cleanly. The biggest drawback for me is the size of the bottle. At 4.5 oz, it’s quite small, especially if you’re using it a few times a week. For those with long or thick hair, you may run through it quickly, making it less practical for long-term use unless you're willing to repurchase frequently. In summary, Neutrogena T/Sal is a decent option for mild to moderate scalp issues, but it may not be a cure-all and requires consistent use and proper expectations. Three stars – helpful but not a complete solution, and the small bottle size is a downside.
