For Psoriasis "I have been using this product for about four months. There are no side effects that I can see. It's easy to use, just put a small amount on, and it will go a long way, and the more you massage it into your skin, it seems to help more. The only bad thing is that it is oily. So it's best to let it seep into your pores."

For Psoriasis "I am so thrilled and relieved! 2-3 months ago, I started having a reaction on the palms of my hands, and it quickly turned into a red, itchy rash with nasty, flaky, scaly skin, and I had no idea what it was. I shake hands with people frequently at work, and all I think is if I saw a hand like that, I wouldn't want to shake it! I've tried all kinds of creams with no results. Then, 2 days ago, I found this, and the picture on the packaging looked like my hand, so I bought it. And you know what? Just 2 days later, and I am seeing AMAZING results! It's not completely gone yet, but it looks and feels so much better after just 2 days. I never do these reviews, but I am so happy I just had to find a place to tell others!"

For Psoriasis "Ok, it's been 4 days now since I started using Psoriasin ointment on my psoriasis, and it works. The smaller spots are already gone, and the bigger spots are getting smaller. Good stuff, highly recommend."

For Psoriasis "I have suffered psoriasis on my legs in particular and on my trunk in various places for more than a decade. I was prescribed Daivobet with no real results... useless really. Whilst on vacation in the US, I picked up some ointment from a drug store. I thought I may as well give it a go. This product is amazing. Within a few days, there was a huge improvement, and after 6 months, my psoriasis is almost gone... I cannot believe it after having the ugly sores for such a long time. Highly recommended. My doctor tells me it is 'old school treatment'... I don't care... it works!! I wish it was available over the counter in Australia."

For Psoriasis "I have psoriasis only on both of my palms. I used Psoriasin gel for the first time last night... saw and felt immediate relief. I can only imagine what a day or monitored continuous use will bring! Thank you, Psoriasin!"

For Dermatitis "Will not stop itching, it is not meant to. What it does very well is keep the skin medicated/lubricated so that it does not itch due to dryness alone. I had used similar meds in the 50s for childhood eczema, which is why I went to it again 60+ years later. I have yet to find something that will effectively stop itching for anything but a few minutes without deleterious effects."

For Psoriasis "This product is amazing I have psoriasis on my hand and feet .. I used this ointment for a year now and I can’t live without it ... it really helps controlling flare ups. It is greasy and smells bad, and when I wear my white socks they become yellow because of the product .. but it doesn’t matter."

For Psoriasis "Had psoriasis on my elbows and knees. Tried $150 tar creams. Smelly but didn't help. I would scratch and bleed and had some on my scalp. It has been a few year since reoccurrence. Very good product but can't seem to find the liquid kind"

For Psoriasis "Works. Coal tar ..smelly wonderful I am 83 years old. Done it all. I promise you I used Psorisan 5 days on scalp and 5 half dollar size places on stomach after using all Derm prescriptions. In 5 as in five days of diligent intent applying it looking crappy, the scalp and scaly patches gone. Gone. Smooth pink then clear. The smell if that bothers you then getting clear skin isn't your priority. Why would I take time to share this at my age. IT WORKED. USING IT 5 DAYS WAS MY ONLY GOAL. I was home during covid anyway. How it looked greasy, feels crummy...washing it daily with the 3% Shampoo, reapplying it. Well see now my hair. Yes ..Silver... looks shiny and great so 5 days was worth it. Wear a scarf. Ask your derm doc. It worked after years of everything failing. Dedicate a few days of looking hey... look yukky ,to days clear of psoriasis.Good luck."

For Psoriasis "I love this cream. It’s thick and kind of greasy, but it works perfectly. I just make sure it dries down well before going to bed. I wash my face with glycerin soap in the morning, apply the cream, and let it dry, then apply my lightweight SPF. In the evening, I wash again with glycerin soap and apply the cream, and occasionally one more cream, a cortisone-type cream, but that’s not a daily thing. When I have a breakout on my face, it goes away within three days using the cream. Even though the smell is very unpleasant, I haven’t found much that works. And I can only wash with glycerin soap and use one type of lightweight high SPF because I have super sensitive skin. With my psoriasis, I can’t even really wear makeup these days."

For Psoriasis "I LOVE this product. I'm 27 and psoriasis just flared up for the first time ever! I hadn't seen a derm yet but was hoping to if this product didn't work. I used it 4x a day for about 2 weeks and it is gone!!! I ran out but will be getting more to keep applying so it stays away. It does burn a little with open sores, but goes away quickly. The smell could be better but with these results, I don't care."
