How would this be better than T/SAL or Jason's?

Doesn't it all come down to Salicylic Acid?

Well this has the addition of green tea...that's what they're bragging about tech-wise(although I can't imagine other green tea shampoo's..the GTE wouldn't get absorbed as well..especially if they're liposomsal or that mixed micelle tech). And I think there's something about the GTE being natural that makes it so they can't have it listed as an "active ingredient", along with the SA :dunno:

And I haven't looked at the ingreds of the ones you mentioned there..but maybe they contain the sulfates etc this company is doing w/out.

REVITEALIZEâ„¢ anti-dandruff shampoo with the LIPIDAN technology allows green tea polyphenols to penetrate the skin and inhibit scalp inflammation, hyper-proliferation, and flake formation WITHOUT relying on coal tar, sulfur, sulfate, or sodium chloride (salt) to work, unlike many other anti-dandruff shampoos that contain toxins and cancer-causing chemicals.

I wonder if there is a tea tree oil or green tea shampoo/conditioner with SA. Tea Tree is likely but I dunno about Green Tea.

I am a huge believer in these type of shampoos. I will check this out next time I go to a health food store. Best part is these are cheap as hell. Good stuff!

Guys, I used a medicated shampoo for over 15 years due to chronic dandruff that got progressively worse. But I haven't bought one in five or so years, since adding curcumin and resveratrol (which I substituted for aged garlic extract) to my regimen. I can now use a regular shampoo, which is actually quite amazing, considering the prior condition of my scalp (itchiness, inflammation, etc.).

If nothing else, I think users have reported a similar reduction in inflammation.

Here's one with GTE..SA..and TT.

Elsom's Micellarin Green has GTE and SA..but I didn't see any TT. They use that "mixed micelle" tech I would assume would help the GTE to get absorbed.
