My husband's dermatologist uses Aquaphor for all her psoriasis patients. She says it works well most of the time, if the placques on the skin have not advanced too far.

Unlike vaseline, it is not as greasy. But it is not available in a cream.

Eucerin is made in a similar way, and has a cream if some want to try that.

This site gives the ingredients in Aquaphor:

Eucerin has many formulas.... here is the Calming cream.

I am kind of partial to A and D ointment myself. (very healing for hemorrhoids, or fissures, for example). But it may be too greasy for the body for some.
