I bought this rather than the mask as I hope, primarily, to treat the psoriasis around my hairline and behind my ears. Whilst it’s slightly annoying not being ‘hands free’ I use this either first thing in the morning or before sleep sitting in bed reading, so it is not much of a trial. I have not really used it on my face so cannot comment on the benefits, however I feel the angry redness of the psoriasis has dulled and feels calmer. I have only been using this regularly for a couple of weeks (every other day) , so am unable to comment on how it may work longer term. The signs are, however, hopeful.
