Pete & Pedro Coal Tar Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Combo — Extra-Strength Peppermint, Medicated Cooling

This kit combines a powerful anti-dandruff shampoo formulated with coal tar and a refreshing peppermint conditioner designed to soothe, hydrate, and leave hair manageable. The duo targets flaking and scalp irritation while delivering a cooling peppermint scent and conditioning benefits to help hair look and feel healthier between washes. Both products are paraben-free and created for people who want a stronger, focused approach to dandruff-prone hair without sacrificing scent or styling performance.

How does the medicated shampoo reduce flakes and itch?

The Control shampoo contains a coal tar solution at therapeutic strength alongside menthol for a cooling sensation. Coal tar has long been used in topical scalp care to slow flake formation and reduce visible scaling, while menthol eases the feeling of itchiness and provides scalp stimulation.

• Coal tar solution 6.25% (coal tar 0.50%) for targeted anti-flake action
• Menthol for immediate cooling and itch relief
• Peppermint scent to leave the scalp smelling fresh

Will the peppermint conditioner restore moisture without weighing hair down?

The Condition peppermint conditioner is formulated to hydrate and detangle with lightweight nourishing ingredients like panthenol and rice protein. It replenishes moisture lost during cleansing, smooths tangles, and leaves hair more manageable without heaviness, making it suitable for daily or regular use after medicated washes.

• Panthenol to help retain moisture and improve hair texture
• Peppermint oil for a fresh scent and scalp-refreshing feel
• Rice protein to strengthen and improve manageability

How should I use this two-step set for best results?

Use Control as your medicated shampoo on wet hair, lathering and allowing the formula to sit briefly before rinsing to let active ingredients work. Follow with Condition, focusing on mid-lengths and ends; leave in for one to two minutes and rinse. Adjust frequency based on scalp needs—some users alternate medicated washes with gentler shampoos.

• Lather Control, let sit 1–3 minutes, rinse thoroughly
• Apply Condition mainly to lengths and ends, leave 1–2 minutes
• Use as needed: increased frequency during flare-ups, otherwise routine maintenance

Is this combo safe for colored or styled hair?

The set is formulated to clean and condition without common parabens, and Condition adds proteins to help maintain hair resilience. Because the shampoo is medicated and coal tar can affect color vibrancy in rare cases, consider a spot test or consult your stylist if your hair is recently colored or chemically treated.

• Paraben-free formula for everyday grooming compatibility
• Condition supplies panthenol and proteins to support hair integrity
• Perform a patch test for freshly colored or chemically treated hair

Who is this for: This set is designed for people experiencing dandruff, dry scalp, or itchiness who want a stronger medicated shampoo paired with a nourishing conditioner that smells fresh. It suits anyone seeking targeted scalp care with a cooling peppermint scent—especially those who prefer a two-step routine that combines treatment and restoration. If you have sensitive scalp conditions or are unsure about coal tar products, consult a healthcare professional before regular use.
