The Doctor Health & Care TAR WITH ICHTHYOL + SEBO-STOP COMPLEX Dermatological shampoo 946 ml

What it is

THE DOCTOR Shampoo with Tar and Ichthyol 946 ml by Elfarm is a cleansing shampoo for scalp that becomes oily quickly and is prone to visible flakes. It is chosen when a regular shampoo feels too mild, but a stronger wash should still leave the hair lengths feeling normal rather than rough.

Key ingredients

The key actives here are tar, ichthyol and the Sebo-Stop complex:

• Tar — long used in scalp cosmetics aimed at heavy oiliness and flaking; it helps loosen buildup and leaves the scalp feeling fresher after washing.
• Ichthyol — known for its balancing and soothing action, which is useful when the skin surface feels overloaded with sebum.

Together, these ingredients help remove excess oil and residue more thoroughly while respecting the scalp’s own protective barrier.

What makes this Elfarm shampoo notable is the combination of deeper cleansing with a gentler approach to the hair itself. The formula is designed to target sebum at the scalp without over-stripping the lengths, so it can suit people whose roots become greasy faster than the rest of the hair. The large 946 ml format is also practical for frequent use in households where this type of scalp-focused shampoo is used regularly.

When people choose it

It fits well into a hair-washing regimen for those who notice:

• flat roots soon after washing
• flakes on the scalp
• a heavier feeling from styling residue and oil buildup

Good to know

• If your hair lengths are dry or porous, it may be helpful to keep the shampoo mainly at the roots and use a conditioner or mask on the ends.
• If the scalp is very sensitive, or if you are unsure how your skin reacts to tar-based products, start with moderate use and watch how your scalp responds.
