Why is Coal Tar Still One of the Most Recommended Ingredients for Scalp Psoriasis?

If you struggle with an itchy, flaky, or scaly scalp, you’ve probably come across coal tar shampoo. Although it’s been used for over 100 years, it’s still considered one of the most effective over-the-counter treatments for managing scalp psoriasis.

So, what makes coal tar so effective?
Coal tar works by slowing down the rapid growth of skin cells, which is one of the main causes of psoriasis. By reducing this overproduction, it helps minimise the thick, scaly patches that can build up on the scalp. It also helps relieve itching, inflammation, redness, and scaling, making the scalp feel more comfortable over time.

Many medicated shampoos contain coal tar as their active ingredient because it targets several symptoms at once, helping to:

✔ Reduce itching
✔ Minimise scaling and flaking
✔ Calm inflammation
✔ Improve the appearance of the scalp

Healthline also explains that some people benefit from leaving the shampoo on the scalp for 5–10 minutes before rinsing, allowing the active ingredient enough time to work. Always follow the directions on your specific product or the advice of your healthcare professional. Read the full article here: https://www.healthline.com/health/psoriasis-shampoo

It’s also important to know that coal tar can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so protecting exposed skin from UV rays after use is recommended.

💙 Crème Classique Coal Tar Shampoo is formulated to help manage the symptoms associated with scalp psoriasis, providing relief from persistent itching, flaking and scaling while helping to keep your scalp feeling healthier and more comfortable.

If your symptoms are severe or don’t improve with over-the-counter treatment, it’s always best to consult your doctor or dermatologist for personalised advice.

Timing is everything… especially when it comes to skincare. ⏰✨

Ever wondered why some skincare products work best in the morning while others are more effective at night?

☀️ Morning is all about protecting your skin from the day ahead. Ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Azelaic Acid help defend against environmental stressors, strengthen your skin barrier, and keep your complexion hydrated and healthy.

🌙 Night is when your skin naturally shifts into repair mode. This is the perfect time for active ingredients like AHAs (Glycolic Acid & Lactic Acid), BHAs (Salicylic Acid), Benzoyl Peroxide, and Retinoids, which work to exfoliate, target breakouts, encourage cell turnover, and improve skin texture while you sleep.

At Crème Classique, we offer dermatologist-approved products to support your routine whether you’re protecting your skin during the day or helping it recover overnight.

Some active ingredients may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating acids or acne treatments.

You survived high school… so why are the breakouts still showing up? 😩

According to Healthline, adult acne is more common than many people realise and can be triggered by hormonal changes, genetics, stress, excess oil production, clogged pores, and even certain skincare or hair products. It can affect adults well into their 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond and it’s especially common in women. (Healthline)

One of the biggest misconceptions is that acne means your skin isn’t clean enough.

In reality, over-washing, picking at pimples, or constantly switching skincare products can make breakouts worse. A gentle, consistent skincare routine is often one of the most important steps toward healthier skin. (Healthline)

The Crème Classique Acne Range is designed to support acne-prone skin with dermatologist-approved products, including our:
💙 Soap Free Cleanser
✨ Beta Hydroxy Gel Toner
🎯 Spot Treatment
🌙 Evening Acne Mask
🌿 Blemish Spray

Because acne doesn’t have an age limit and neither should healthy skin.
