I'm sure the majority of psoriasis sufferers are familiar with the two creams pictures above and will require no review of them but I did say I would review everything I try so here goes. As always I must remind you that these are my personal experiences of these products, just because something doesn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you! I apologise -yet again- for not posting much recently, I blame life and stuff for getting in the way. I plan to be back on form very soon.
Cetraben Cream 479ml: 6/10
Thing thing I like most about Cetraben is that you feel like your skin being properly moisturised as opposed to many high street products which often make you feel as though it's only moisturising the very surface of your skin. The main problem for me is that this moisturiser doesn't last for long enough and it doesn't always soothe the irritation and itchiness which accompanies the dryness. If I applied this just before I went to bed I found that I would wake up feeling like I immediately needed to moisturise again, my skin felt tight and itchy again. Cetraben is also very expensive considering that it wasn't that effective so I won't be purchasing this cream again. Maybe the lotion version will work better for my skin.

Epaderm Cream 500g: 5/10
Although I found the two creams to be very similar, this one was slightly more displeasing, especially during the evening. I found that I would wake up in itchy fits in the middle of the night and my skin would still be screaming with itchiness after I had reapplied it. It was similar to Cetraben in the sense that you feel it was penetrating the skin with moisture but unfortunately it didn't soothe my irritation at all. I don't understand at all why it is so expensive, some people really recommend these two products so it may be worth trying them out but for me they won't be making the cut.
