5.0 out of 5 stars
Best non-prescription product ever used, August 13, 2007
This review is from: MG217 Medicated Tar Ointment, Psoriasis Treatment, Intensive Strength, 3.8 oz. (Misc.)
Have been using this for years and it is the best product on the market to control psoriasis or clear up any other rough or scaly skin patches with persistent use. It does not have the rebound effect that cortisone prescription cream does. Too bad the company does no advertising and one only finds out about this product by word of mouth.

So far so good, March 8, 2008
This review is from: MG217 Medicated Tar Ointment, Psoriasis Treatment, Intensive Strength, 3.8 oz. (Misc.)
I have had psoriasis off and on for about 8 years. During this last year I had my worst outbreak. Both of my elbows were red and cracked. I started putting on Mg 217 and I noticed a big diffrence in a week. I am going on week two and my elbows look great. I can see that the skin is still a little thick but it is not red or noticable. I also have a patch on my knee about 2x3 inches. I have had this for over a year now. It has been so annoying all winter. Before the skin was really red, flakey, and cracked. Now it is pinkish, no flakes, or cracks. It seems to be getting a little better each day. I am really hoping that it totally heals it. Even if it just stays the way it is right now it is worth it. I will update in a month or so and let you know how it is going.

No effect, at least for now, July 12, 2008
This review is from: MG217 Medicated Tar Ointment, Psoriasis Treatment, Intensive Strength, 3.8 oz. (Misc.)
I bought this for my mother after I compared all the Psoriasis products on Amazon. I found Mg 217 Intensive Strength Medicated Tar Ointment for Psoriasis 3.8 Oz having the highest review start number by many people. So I bought it along with the shampoo , and another product by Mg 217.
My mother has used them for one moth, but there has been not even a tiny effect. In fact, the symptom has even turned worse, especially when she used the Tar Shampoo. After using this shampoo, she felt the itching and inflammation even got worse.
I saw somebody wrote something like "you have to keep using it until there is effect". But how long should one stick to one product? 1 month? 3 months? 1 year?
Psoriasis is very hard to be cured, and maybe other people will receive better effects after they use this product, but not for my mom. I gave 1 star for this product so that people after me won't all think it is THAT good.
