Sensitive skin products for Psoriasis?

Hi I have Psoriasis on my face. Should I use sensitive skin products even though my skin is combination?

Are there extra steps I should be taking?

Re: Sensitive skin products for Psoriasis?

Hi there,
If you have active psoriasis on your face, I would try and settle it down. I like to use a class of creams known as calcineurin inhibitors for facial psoriasis. Then I would use gentle hydrating skin care which is non-comedogenic.
Vitamin A creams can sometimes be helpful for any spots/breakouts and for psoriasis, but they can be irritant. Speak to your doctor about these.
