Alphosyl Shampoo

Posted Sun 2 Jul 2023 11.21 by jrose

Hi I've just found out Alphosyl has been permanently discontinued. SO disappointed as I've been using this for 20+ years and it's been great for my psoriasis and my hair. Can anyone recommend a similar alternative please?

I have made very good experiences with the combination of linotar Gel 1% (comparable to Alphosyl, but much cleaner, less smelly) and Linoscalp leave-in Conditioner from South Africa, see http://linotar.blog

I used Alphosyl also. But it became more and more difficult to find. I had VERY good results with Alphacade PSO. It cleared my scalp, reduced itching from the first use and seemed gentle on my hair itself. It also smells very pleasant. I bought it online - but search around and compare pricing, there are some VERY expensive options. I bought regularly from: https://www.cocooncenter.co.uk/item-dermatologie-alphacade-shampoo-pso-severe-cases-of-dandruff-200ml/14313.html Good luck!

I had been using Alphosyl shampoo for six years when it was discontinued last year. I switched to Polytar earlier this year and got very similar results.

I'll keep your suggestions for Alphacade and Polytar in mind and will check these products out - thanks. I may have to stick to Linotar though after Teva discontinued their Exorex Scalp Moisturiser and Exorex Moisturising Cream as I don't really need a shampoos, but rather moisturisers, in combinaton with the tar.

A late comment, plus 1.5 years. No mention of Salcura shampoo and conditioner? I accept that it is mild, but with the worst of my symptoms calmed by Enstilar I find it very useful. I have just been trying Alphosyl in conjunction with Salcura conditioner and am very disappointed in Alphosyl being discontinued.

I try warm olive oil prior to washing hair rub it in all scales and leave for an hour or so or even over night. It helps
