SALVE Cosalic Coal Tar & Salicylic Acid Ointment (50 g / 1.76 oz) Pack of 4 - Psoriasis Relief Cream for Scaly, Itchy, Flaky Skin

The media could not be loaded. I got a huge discount on this probably because the expiration date was very near. I got 6 big 16.2oz jars for $7 a piece. The combination of coal tar and salicylic acid is the best cure for me, it seems. I’m combining Cutar, this one and CompoundW for the most stubborn patches and I’m about a month I got my full body cleared. I’m not a total fan of Cosalic’s consistency and smell, but decent and bearable, even though because of high paraffin content my skin is feeling a bit sticky.

As an older red head my skin is fragile so it was important to find the right stuff. Here's what I found about Cosalic. When you first open the jar, it looks like slightly granular Vaseline, feels like it too. It feels greasy for about an hour, beware touching silks. My skin is shiney, lmao. After 3 applications I noticed my psoriasis was not bleeding anymore and I could run my hand over it, without getting scratched. Overall, the greasy feeling is preferable to the scaly bleeding sores that I had before. I also used this on my heals, worked great there too. The scent is not flowery pretty but not gross either, kind of like Vaseline.

This cream works very well. It has not eliminated the issue, but has lessened the severity.

I had spots of what I first thought may be the start of acne but then seemed to be more consistent with psoriasis on my face, this turned it around in 2 days. Also due to my job and the conditions I work in, I had very very severe chaffing/irritation between the cheeks (not the ones on your face) to the point it was extremely painful and bleeding, plus almost rash like) I randomly decided to try this as a last ditch effort after trying powders and cortisone creams, and within three days everything had completely turned around and healed up. It doesn’t smell great, kind of like diesel fuel, and it’ll leave a waxy film for quite a while, but whatever it is seems to work more ways than one.

Doesn't work at all and stays greedy on your skin all day long

The instructions say "keep cap always closed." There is not a cap... look at the picture. Just an aluminum or tin foil cover with a plastic cover underneath. If this works, I'll give a better review, but I'm very disappointed with the packaging.

This ointment makes my husband's psoriasis worseI thought if I bought in bulk he would be better this is not the same quality as the single packs and the smell is off and not worth the money

I’ve been prescribed three different topical steroids to treat my psoriasis and rejected expensive, multi-dose biologic infusions.Most of the ointments have been good “enough” in getting me to a point where my skin doesn’t look raw. A recommendation of coal tar led me to this product. It really keeps the “hot” area lubricated and the combination of coal tar and salicylic acid checks scaling, giving new skin a chance to take hold.I suggest first trying a single smaller jar. This package of two large jars will last many months.
