Great article on psoriasis! In addition to the treatments you mentioned, I’ve found that using a bakuchiol retinol serum has helped improve the appearance of my skin. Bakuchiol is a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm psoriasis flare-ups. I’ve been using it for a few weeks, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my skin texture and tone without the irritation that traditional retinol can sometimes cause.
