Psoriasis Skin-Care Product Guide
Soaps and cleansers
Avoid harsh soaps (such as deodorant soaps) as well as scrubs, which can be very irritating, says Neil Korman, MD, PhD, clinical director of the Murdough Family Center for Psoriasis in Cleveland. Many people with psoriasis instead opt for gentle cleansers (such as Cetaphil) or soap with moisturizers (such as Dove). "I use a gentle Clinique foaming wash on my face, and Dove on my body because it’s most gentle," says Liz Salemme, 24, of Riverdale, N.J., who has lived with psoriasis for six years.
Devin Cirillo, 23, of New York City, has found that "wholesome cream-based products, like Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash in the shower, are best."
