Olux Reviews: What are patients saying about Olux?

Patient Review

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.

Olux for Skin Inflammation

In 2005, I used olux to help with my dry scalp and it was very effective in relieving the irritation and itchiness.

Olux for Skin Disease of the Scalp

Olux has been my go-to for about six years now. I had a dermititis on my ankle for 25 years before using this product, and Olux cleared it up within a few days. It's easy to use and relatively inexpensive, and it keeps the problem at bay for me.

Olux for Plaque Psoriasis

I've been struggling with scalp psoriasis for over two decades now, and finally found a treatment that works! Not only does it help, but it's easy to apply and doesn't require me to wash it out afterwards.

Olux for Skin Disease of the Scalp

This stuff really cleared up my scalp psoriasis quickly and easily. Better than tar shampoo, which also stained my gray hair yellow.

Olux for Plaque Psoriasis

Olux is a great product that has helped clear up my scalp more than anything else I've tried.

Olux for Plaque Psoriasis

This was the only thing that ended up working for me after trying other methods for nearly three months. The foam did the trick! I only had to put it on once a day for two weeks.

Olux for Skin Disease of the Scalp

Olux is effective, but Olux-e is not. Olux-e makes your hair incredibly oily and you have to wash it multiple times a day. With regular Olux, you can use it after a shower and then go about your day without having to worry about your hair looking greasy or dirty. Additionally, psoriasis disappears for several months with each treatment of Olux.

Olux for Plaque Psoriasis

Olux is much better than Olux-E, in my opinion. I don't know why they continue to produce the latter when it's clearly inferior. It's frustrating that you can't buy just the Olux; you have to get the kit with both products.
