"I was given a couple of sample tubes of Opzelura to try, and after just a few days, some of the rough, thick patches on my hands started to clear up. With 2x daily use the past 2 weeks, my hands are doing so much better, and they have been awful: cracking, flaking, inflamed, itching for several years, and I've tried all of the things! Now to figure out if I can afford it..."

"Opzelura has been incredible for managing my skin issues. What really impresses me is the speed of relief - within just 30 minutes, it noticeably reduces both itching and inflammation. The cream itself is elegantly formulated with a smooth texture that isn't greasy at all, and it even has a pleasant scent. What I appreciate most is that I can effectively manage my skin breakouts without having to rely on steroid creams. It's such a sophisticated solution for skin inflammation."

"I’ve had atopic dermatitis on my left leg for 15 years. I’ve tried multiple other medications over the years, and nothing has helped. When I started using Opzelura cream on the affected area, I saw immediate results. Over the course of several weeks, my condition began to disappear. After 6 months, not only had the dermatitis disappeared, but all the redness that was beneath the skin also vanished. My skin looks perfectly normal now. I did not experience any adverse side effects."

"This seems to be the only drug that is stopping the itchiness, but it is too expensive to use. I am so sad about this!"

"Opzelura is amazing. I’ve been on it since March of 2022, and it has helped tremendously with my eczema. I have tried every cream, lotion, and ointment. Prednisone 20 mg works, but steroids are awful for long-term use. Besides prednisone, nothing else works. This is a godsend!!"
