Olux Reviews: What are patients saying about Olux?

Olux for Skin Disease of the Scalp
I've been using this medication for almost a year now. I find that it works well on moderate areas of psoriasis, but not so much on the tougher areas. However, it is very easy to use and I would recommend it to people with moderate psoriasis. It did relieve the itching associated with it though, which was great!

Olux for Plaque Psoriasis
Olux was quick to work and did the job well. However, I found that Olux E is a mess in comparison; it's oily, the foam doesn't melt quickly, and it doesn't cover as much area. Consequently, I ended up spending more money on this product than I would have liked.

Olux for Plaque Psoriasis
I've found this to be an extremely effective treatment for both plaque and contact dermatitis. It's easy to use and target small areas, which was a big problem I had with previous medications my dermatologist prescribed.
