How does Alphosyl work?

The active ingredient in Alphosyl shampoo is an alcoholic extract of coal tar. Coal tar works as a keratoplastic, which means it relieves itching by breaking down the keratin in the skin.
The coal tar causes the skin to shed the top layer of dead cells and slows down the growth of new skin cells, which reduces scaling, dryness and relieves itching and irritation.
