CeraVe: Psoriasis Moisturizing Cream

Description

What It Is: A 2% salicylic acid (BHA) + ceramide-infused cream that exfoliates scales, relieves itching, and hydrates psoriasis-prone skin.

Key Benefits:

✔ 2% Salicylic Acid – Gently removes thick, scaly plaques without irritation.
✔ Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) – Rebuild the skin’s protective barrier.
✔ Urea & Lactic Acid – Boost hydration and soften rough patches.
✔ National Psoriasis Foundation Accepted – Clinically proven efficacy.
✔ Fragrance-Free & Non-Comedogenic – Safe for sensitive skin.

Texture & Application:

• Rich but non-greasy – Absorbs fully without leaving residue.
• How to Use:
  1. Apply to clean, damp skin (post-shower for best absorption).
  2. Focus on elbows, knees, scalp (if hairline is affected), or other flare-up areas.
  3. Use 1-2x daily (or as directed by a dermatologist).

Best For:

• Plaque psoriasis (thick, scaly patches).
• Eczema or ichthyosis with flaking.
• Dry, cracked skin needing both exfoliation and moisture.

Avoid If:

• You’re allergic to salicylic acid (redness/burning may occur).
• You have open wounds or weeping psoriasis (consult a doctor first).

Why It Stands Out:

Unlike traditional psoriasis creams (like coal tar or steroids), this:
✓ Exfoliates AND hydrates simultaneously.
✓ Prevents rebound dryness (thanks to ceramides).
✓ Works preventatively between flare-ups.

Pro Tips:

• For Scalp Psoriasis: Apply sparingly to affected areas (avoid hair strands).
• For Nighttime Intensive Care: Layer with CeraVe Healing Ointment on extra-dry patches.
• Pair with CeraVe Psoriasis Cleanser for a full treatment routine.

Expected Results:

• 1-2 Weeks: Reduced scaling/itching.
• 4-6 Weeks: Smoother, less inflamed skin.
