Dermalex Psoriasis 60g

What Is Dermalex Psoriasis Cream and How Can It Help?

Living with psoriasis can be genuinely exhausting. The itch, the flaking, the self-consciousness — it adds up. Dermalex psoriasis cream is a steroid-free, clinically tested topical treatment designed to tackle the symptoms of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis without the risks associated with long-term corticosteroid use. Psoriasis affects around 2% of people in the UK, according to the NHS, and while there is no cure, the right topical treatment can make a significant difference to daily comfort and skin appearance. You can explore a wider range of options in our skin care collection.

Dermalex Psoriasis 60g is available over the counter — no prescription needed. It is suitable for adults and children aged 6 and over, making it a practical choice for households managing psoriasis across different age groups. At £19.99 for a 60g tube, it offers a cost-effective route to managing flare-ups and maintaining clearer skin between episodes.

How Does Dermalex Psoriasis Cream Work on Skin?

Psoriasis causes skin cells to multiply up to ten times faster than normal, leading to the characteristic raised, red, scaly plaques. Dermalex works by targeting this abnormal cell cycle and supporting the skin's natural barrier function. Here is how it works step by step:

• Normalises the accelerated skin cell turnover that drives plaque formation
• Restores the skin barrier using ceramides, which are naturally occurring lipids found in healthy skin
• Hydrates and soothes with glycerol, reducing dryness and scaling
• Contains zinc pyrithione, which has recognised anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties
• Reduces redness, itching, and flaking over time with consistent use

Because it is steroid-free, there is no risk of skin thinning (atrophy) — a well-documented concern with prolonged topical corticosteroid use, as noted by the NHS. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive areas and for people who prefer to avoid steroids altogether.

Who Should Use Dermalex Psoriasis Cream?

This cream is intended for people managing mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. It is not a treatment for severe psoriasis, which typically requires prescription-strength therapies or systemic treatment under specialist care. That said, it suits a broad range of patients:

• Adults with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis on the body or scalp
• People who have previously used steroid creams and want a steroid-free alternative
• Those in remission who want to maintain clearer skin and prevent flare-ups
• Children aged 6 and over (under medical supervision)

If you are unsure whether this product is right for you, speak to your pharmacist before purchasing. Our team at Cured Pharmacy is always happy to help.

How Does Dermalex Psoriasis Cream Compare to Other Treatments?

Is Dermalex Psoriasis Cream Suitable for Sensitive Skin?

Yes, in most cases. The formulation is free from steroids, fragrances, and known irritants, which makes it a reasonable option for people with sensitive or reactive skin. Because it supports the skin barrier rather than suppressing immune activity, it is generally well tolerated. You can also browse our creams and ointments collection for complementary products that may support your skin health routine.

Store the cream below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children. Do not use on broken, infected, or inflamed skin without first consulting a healthcare professional.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Is Dermalex Psoriasis 60g and What Is It Used For?

Dermalex Psoriasis 60g is a topical, steroid-free cream used to treat and manage the symptoms of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis in adults and children aged 6 and over. Psoriasis is a long-term skin condition caused by an overactive immune response that speeds up the skin cell cycle, resulting in red, flaky, crusty patches covered with silvery scales. The NHS describes psoriasis as a common condition affecting around 1 in 50 people in the UK. Dermalex psoriasis cream is designed not only to treat active flare-ups but also to help maintain clearer skin and reduce the frequency of future episodes.

How Should You Use Dermalex Psoriasis 60g?

Using this cream correctly gives you the best chance of seeing results. Follow these steps each time you apply it:

1. Wash and gently dry the affected area before application
2. Squeeze a small amount of cream onto your fingertip
3. Apply a thin, even layer directly to the psoriasis-affected skin
4. Massage gently until fully absorbed — do not rub aggressively
5. Wash your hands after application unless treating the hands themselves
6. Allow the cream to absorb before dressing or covering the area

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Dermalex Psoriasis 60g?

Dermalex Psoriasis Cream is generally well tolerated. Side effects are uncommon, but as with any topical product, some people may experience a reaction. If you notice anything unusual, stop use and speak to your pharmacist. You can also find general guidance on managing skin conditions through our skin care collection.

Common side effects:

• Mild, temporary stinging or tingling on first application
• Slight redness at the application site

Less common side effects:

• Skin irritation or contact dermatitis
• Dryness or peeling beyond the treated area
• Allergic skin reaction (rash, itching, swelling) — stop use immediately if this occurs

Unlike topical corticosteroids, Dermalex does not carry a risk of skin thinning, stretch marks, or systemic absorption with regular use. This is one of the key reasons many patients and clinicians consider it a suitable long-term option for managing psoriasis.

How Should You Store Dermalex Psoriasis 60g?

Correct storage keeps the product effective for its full shelf life. Follow these guidelines:
