What is the difference between Reliéva cream and lotion?

The main difference is the viscosity or the consistency of the 2 products. The Reliéva cream is of a slightly thicker consistency and is intended for use on smaller, more localized psoriatic lesions. The lotion is slightly thinner in consistency and is therefore easier to spread. The lotion is ideal when you are covering a larger area of the body, or hairy areas including the scalp.

The concentration of the active ingredient (psorberine) is identical in both the cream and lotion.
