I’ve suffered with moderate psoriasis of the scalp for most of my 57 years! I’ve been to dermatologists for years and have received all kinds of topical meds for the condition. The latest treatment I’ve undergone is the X-Trac treatment. This treatment consists of targeted light therapy in a doctor’s office. The problem is you must constantly go for these treatments for best results. At first, you must qualify for the treatments. The dermatologist offering the treatment (not every one does; mine doesn’t) must verify through the company that produces the X-Trac procedure that you’ve been under long-term care for the condition either with them or another dermatologist. You wait approximately 48 hours to see if you’re qualified to receive the treatment, and if you are, then you set up your first appointment and pay with each visit whatever your specialist co-pay amount is. After so many treatments and you’re in it for so much money, they reimburse you (I got $300.00 back) and then the rest of the treatments are free. Best case scenario is the condition goes into remission. Remission, if it occurs, can be months, weeks, or days. Then you must start up again. If you have your doctor sign you off the treatment after remission and then experience a flare-up and have to resume treatments, you’ll have to go through the entire qualifying/payment process again, so it’s best not to let the doctor sign you off too soon in case you experience a flare-up….the entire process is a vicious cycle. For me, this is an impossible schedule to keep. I would have to travel 20 minutes through town at least twice a week, pay $2.00 each time to park, and navigate my way through a crowded parking lot garage and hospital for what amounts to not much relief. One evening, following a treatment, I decided out of curiosity to browse through psoriasis treatment options on Amazon and found Dermarest. I figured it was worth a try; I’d tried everything else. This topical is a clear gel with no real scent. At first there is a noticeable decline in itch. Then I noticed that instead of the fine scales scratching would produce, there appeared something akin to a slight peeling which eventually disappeared. There was no discomfort or redness with this reaction and I believe that it was due to the loosening of the scales and not actual peeling. My scalp feels hydrated and because the itch isn’t present, I don’t think of scratching which had been becoming a habit, itch or not, as I’d been doing it for so long. I can feel a real reduction in the scaling which has me thrilled! The gel doesn’t affect my hair as far as making it greasy and there’s no medicinal odor. And to think that this cutting-edge X-Trac treatment didn’t do what the Dermarest did….perhaps if I’d gone as often as was recommended, the X-Trac would’ve worked, but I just couldn’t keep up with that schedule! If you have severe psoriasis, maybe Dermarest might not be enough; it still would be a terrific product to use, though, in conjunction with other prescribed methods of treatment. For someone like me, with slight to moderate chronic psoriasis prone to flare-ups, Dermarest fits the bill. Although Dermarest is no cure (as anyone reading this knows there is no cure for psoriasis!), I highly recommend this wonderful product in keeping this nasty condition under control. I haven’t had this much relief, even with prescribed meds, in…..forever!

My daughter suggested this, and it works. I was having a lot of itchy scalp areas with Head and Shoulders just after my shampoo! I lather up with head and shoulders 1st and my second lather is with this and I let it sit about 5 minutes then condition and rinse. I go about 4 days without an itchy scalp! Yeah! I rinse and condition about every 3 days so this is perfect! I wash my hair once a week unless I wear it no protected in a afro.

We just received the shampoo and gave only used it one time. The itching feeling is gone and the flakes are no where as bad as before!! Thank you for your product, will definitely buy again as needed!!!

Works fast, soothes your scalp stops itching or burning, or flakes. Doesn’t smell bad and cleans your hair without stripping it. I recommend.

I buy these for my two dogs when I wash them and it works really well. Skin irritations for them are history once I use this. I find it better than dog shampoo and other specific use things,
Hope that helps someone with dogs with skin irritation. Smells fine the dogs don’t mind it at all.

I have psoriasis and I am usually a little flaky. Nothing terrible, but it gets worse depending on my diet and sometimes I just want to eat bad things (in my case, red food coloring is a huge trigger) like maraschino cherries and thai iced tea (red food coloring is in a surprising number of things.) This shampoo does clear the flakes but after using it consistently for a few months I think I over did it.
I started using it once a week, switching back and forth between my regular shampoo, but then I got lazy and just started mixing it in with my regular shampoo. I wash my hair every other day so it was a lot. I think this stripped my scalp because it became insanely itchy over time and eventually started breaking out. I almost never get itchy bumps on my scalp so I knew something was up. I treated it with an antibacterial ointment meant for folliculitis and switched to a calming shampoo and everything resolved.
I would still recommend this product but don’t over-do it. Save it for bad flare ups or special events. I’ve also since tried another psoriasis shampoo and I’ve had just as much flake clearance but none of the itch, so if your scalp is sensitive maybe skip this one and try another.
