My New Psoriasis Product Idea: An Exfoliating Shampoo with Salicylic Acid

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I thought of a brilliant idea for new psoriasis / flaky scalp shampoo: Something with salicylic acid (for psoriasis treatment) and also an exfoliating element to help remove dead skin / scales.

Then I googled it and found out that someone already thought of it.

Here it is, Optimum Care Dandruff Solutions Pre-Shampoo Exfoliating Treatment by Soft Sheen Carson
Optimum Care Dandruff Solutions Pre-Shampoo Exfoliating Treatment

Or, to be more specific, this is a “pre-shampoo product,” designed to clean-up / prep your scalp before applying regular shampoo.

I guess I’ll try to be faster next time creative-wise.  I’d still like to be able to sell a really big idea to a major drug company someday someday… then I’ll be set for a while.

This pre-shampoo by Soft Sheen Carson is designed for scalps suffering from itchiness or dandruff.  Some of the ingredients include salicylic acid and olive oil (new one for me).  Price: 5 bucks and change.

Where to Find Cheap T-Gel

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Ounce for ounce, Neutrogena’s psoriasis shampoos (T-Gel or T-Sal) can be a lot more expensive than standard shampoo (the kind I would consider standard anyway).   So it would be nice to save a buck or two on this item which, to me, is not a negotiable expenditure.

There is the option of waiting for it to go on sale at your local grocery store, at which time it might drop from 6 dollars and change to 5 dollars and change per bottle.  If you don’t want to wait for it to go on sale, you can usually find it at Walmart for sale at regular price for about half of what it normally sells for a standard grocery stores.   Whenever I go to Walmart, I try to stock up on it (though it is still expensive, even at 5 dollars and change).

There are also a variety of deals online for even less (and you don’t have to drive anywhere):

Click here to buy standard Neutrogena T-Gel for less than $5.

Click here to get larger sized bottles of Extra Strength T-Gel for about $9.
