"It's a foam, which I like, and it dries fast and clean. It's a pretty strong steroid, so it does work, but obviously, you can't stay on it forever. Within a week or two of using it, it will clear up your patches, but again, as soon as you stop using it, they will come back. I've got pretty good insurance, and it still cost me around $100 for a bottle. I recommend it for the really bad tricky spots, but don't use it for too long, as it will scar your skin."

"I had psoriasis for 3 years before I tried Olux. At that time, I had a bald spot on my head and no skin on the back of my ears. It was all raw and covered in pus. I used Olux for three days, and my psoriasis cleared up for over a month. The only reason I stopped using it was that my new insurance would not cover it. Olux is the ONLY medication that has helped me. I have tried a dozen other medicines, and nothing has worked the same."

"I've had severe psoriasis since infancy. I have it on the back of my scalp, the nape of my neck, outside each ear, and inside one ear. I've tried every cream and shampoo, nothing worked. At 15, my doctor came across samples. It hurt, it burned, but it worked. The doctor had to push it through Medicaid. They approved it for me and at no charge. It doesn't leave my scalp greasy. I used it off and on as symptoms flared. It removed it from outside my ears and dramatically reduced it on my scalp and inside my ear. It starts showing results within one week. It took three weeks for it to disappear off the front of my ears. I was young and didn't continue to use it. If I had used it right (I always hated the burn), I believe it would have completely removed it from all areas. Once I turned 18, I didn't have Medicaid and wasn't able to afford insurance or the medication (very costly). I am 29 years old, and it has never returned on the outside of my ears. I do still have it inside my ear and on my scalp. I have lived with it since. Please recommend this medication to your doctor if you can afford it. You won't regret it. Best I've ever used."

"Olux has been the only topical medication I've used that has been able to control the psoriasis on my scalp. Over the past few years, my condition has significantly worsened. However, since beginning to use Derma-Smoothe and Olux, I have been able to maintain a very healthy scalp. The Derma-Smoothe is fantastic for removing the initial buildup from psoriasis, while the Olux is great for preventing its return. I only have to use Olux about once every 2 weeks, or at the first sign of any symptoms. The only downside is the high cost (since we have a high insurance deductible). However, I personally find it to be worth the money."

"The only really effective remedy for my scalp psoriasis. I used Scalpicin, but it turned my white hair yellowish, and I had to keep using it almost every day. Olux for three days, and my scalp is clear and not itchy for 2-3 weeks!"

"This is the only stuff that works. My uncle was a dermatologist, and I have tried everything that had ever come out on the market. I was without insurance for a time and couldn't get Olux (couldn't afford it), and I had a severe outbreak. After finally getting a prescription, it was gone within 2 weeks."

"This has worked inside my ears very well. It's not been effective for me on my scalp or back, but works great for my ears!"

"Great for itching, but not for clearing plaque/scalp psoriasis."
