I have gutatte psoriasis all over my body, and a few patches of plaque psoriasis. Ointments containing steroids are difficult to use when you have several hundred small spots and you want to treat each one but avoid applying to the good skin.
I have tried a variety of moisurising creams that can just be slathered all over the body.
I use Oilatum Oil in a bath and find that it helps to soften my psoriasis and reduce the irritation, so I decided to try this cream also.
It takes a little longer (extra 1 minute or so) to be absorbed by my skin than some other moisturiser/emollients, but perhaps that is simply a function of how thick/viscous it is, and not necessarily a bad thing. Once it has been absorbed, I can feel that there seems to be a slight and very light layer or coating on top of the skin – not feeling oily or greasy, but well moisturised.
I notice an immediate reduction in itching/irritation. As this is a non-steroid, you can apply as much as you want, as often as you want and use on any part of the body.
Some people are allergic or experience irritation from lanolin – this is lanolin free, not all moisturisers are.
However, different people can experience allergic reactions from different things, so it is always advisable to use this on a small patch of skin at first use and look for any reaction over the first few hours.
The container does have a note that it contains cetostearyl alcohol and potassiium sorbate, and it says that these CAN cause local skin reactions.
The cream comes in a sturdy plastic bottle, with a pump dispenser. Two things I really like about the bottle:
– the pump moves positively from the locked to the unlocked position, without needing to depress the piston first and squirting out some of the contents (as is common with many pump dispensers),
– there is also a clip-on plastic collar which fits around the pump-piston, further preventing accidental discharge of contents.
These two features make it very convenient to carry this in a hand-bag, computer bag or with gymn gear and not have it leak all over the other items.

Does help

Very soothing

I got a nasty post covid rash that was itching like mad. I needed relief. Tried another product first and it didn’t seem to offer much relief. I was still scratching and red. So I tried this product. First advantage the bottle is big so should last a while. Seems to absorb quite quickly. Whilst it didn’t completely stop the itch it gave quite a good deal of relief overall. It does seem to be assisting with bringing down the rawness of the rash I think but that could be passage of time as well so a bit hard to tell. It’s helping with the dry patches pretty well. Will be a useful addition to the bathroom supplies overall.

Great Value and lasts for ages. The pump allows for easy use. The lotion itself leaves your skin feeling smooth and moisturised.

I developed Winter Itch this winter and tried Oilatum Cream. It works best when applying immediately after a bath/shower and gave me relief all day. However, it just didn’t perform the same for me at night when in bed, but I found that Diprobase Advanced does. Diprobase Advanced is not perfect either. For me the itch would return in the day, worse than ever!
