Having suffered from psoriasis for about 18 years, I am always interested and keen to try out any products that may relieve the condition.
The areas affected are part of my scalp extending to the back of my neck, the area on and around one of my ears and both my elbows. The condition started about two years after the birth of my first child and has continued ever since, with a brief respite when I was pregnant with my second child.
Psoriasis is a common skin condition affecting two to three per cent of the population in the UK and Ireland. In simple terms psoriasis is a vast acceleration of the usual replacement processes of the skin. It appears as raised red patches of skin covered with silver scales.
Thankfully my psoriasis is fairly mild and its appearance can be concealed by my hair and covering my arms. However, unless treated it is extremely itchy and can cause discomfort, not to mention the continual presence of dry, flaky skin across my shoulders on the back of my clothing.
Over the years I have tried and tested a variety of different creams and lotions obtained from the doctor, high street chemists and health shops.
For the past four weeks I have been using the Cardiospernum Shampoo on a daily basis and the Cardiospernum Cream twice a day. Both of these products contain natural ingredients and no chemicals, parabens or steroids and are formulated to help dry, itchy and scaly skin, which is associated with psoriasis.
Since using these two products I have most definitely found an improvement in my symptoms. The itchiness of the affected skin areas has been much reduced and, as a result, there has been far less flaky skin. With regular application of the cream the silver scales over the red patches of skin have become less conspicuous.
I would highly recommend these two products to anyone suffering from mild psoriasis like myself, as they are the most effective treatments I have yet tried, provided they are used regularly.
