‘This stuff has saved my life! I’ve been battling eye eczema for three years and nothing has worked until now. This had my skin barrier repaired in two weeks and my skin is now normal.’
August marks Psoriasis Awareness Month, shining a spotlight on the chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Anyone who has battled psoriasis will know the daily struggle of dealing with dry, itchy and often painful patches of skin, with flare-ups that can take a toll on both physical comfort and self-confidence.
Now, sufferers say they are amazed by a serum that has transformed the appearance of their skin. The PSOregon Rescue Serum (£12.45 for 50ml, Amazon) has attracted glowing reviews from people living with psoriasis, with some even reporting noticeable improvements after the first week of use.
Among those is 26-year-old stay-at-home mum Hannah Richmond from the US, who has been living with psoriasis since she was 11. She said: “Over the following years, my psoriasis got worse and became more frequent. I’d also get a flare-up if I became stressed”
Hannah tried countless remedies in a bid to soothe her skin, including apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, red light therapy and medically prescribed steroid treatments. However, she says nothing provided the lasting relief she was hoping for, and the persistent condition had a significant impact on her confidence.
“The first six years of living with psoriasis were the worst for me. I would be getting ready for school, and I would break down, cry and scream into my pillow. I would try to cover up the plaques with makeup. I was so frustrated that I was different and people would stare.”

This serum helps to soften rough, scaly plaques and calm the look of redness and soreness.
Hannah eventually came across PSOregon after spotting the brand on Instagram. She shared: “Within the first few days of using the PSOregon products, I noticed my skin was improving.
“My flakes had gone down a lot, and the redness was going down after the first week, and my scalp felt calmer and less inflamed. My skin didn’t feel as tight and dry as it had been, which was a very good sign, as it’s rare to see anything work that fast.”
The vegan-friendly formula is designed to soften rough, scaly skin while helping to calm the appearance of redness. It contains concentrated Oregon grape root, an ingredient often used in skincare aimed at problem skin, alongside caffeine to help refresh the complexion.
The serum also combines botanical liquorice, known for its soothing properties, with horse chestnut and zinc to help comfort sore, irritated areas. The lightweight, non-greasy formula requires only a small amount per application and can be massaged into clean, dry skin on affected areas as part of a daily skincare routine.
After incorporating the serum into her routine, Hannah says she quickly noticed a difference: “I would say the best improvements I saw were towards the end of the second week using the PSOregon products. My skin became much less red and furious and wasn’t burning or itching as much. My skin is continuing to improve with each week I use the products.”
The product has also received positive feedback from Amazon shoppers, with many praising its ability to calm redness and reduce flaky skin. One person shared: “This stuff has saved my life! I’ve been battling eye eczema for three years, and nothing has worked until now.
“This had my skin barrier repaired in two weeks and my skin is now normal. I won’t use anything else on the skin around my eyes.”
Meanwhile, another said: “I am quite amazed by this product – I have used it for just under a week on stubborn psoriasis and can honestly say it has almost resolved it in those few days. I could see daily improvements. Better than any steroid response.”
However, someone else noted: “It would help if it came in larger quantities.” In that case, shoppers may want to consider Balmond’s Skin Salvation, which is available in two sizes: 50ml and 120ml.
On a brighter note, this PSOregon Rescue Serum devotee piped up: “I have had psoriasis for 40 years. To date, only tar products have helped. Such a relief to find a non-staining, smelly, skin-thinning and non-prescription product that actually does what it says.”
For those who want to consider another option, E45s’ Psoriasis Cream (£19.99, Boots) has proven popular with shoppers. One shared: “I have been using this cream for a fortnight and it has made a great deal of difference to the psoriasis I have on my feet.”
