Silkis ointment is an anti-psoriasis medication that has the active ingredient ‘Calcitriol,’ a kind of medicine known as a Vitamin D Analogue. Calcitriol is a potent topical drug that can help treat mild to moderate psoriasis to up to 35% of the body area.

Silkis ointment is infused with a scientifically enhanced ingredient called ‘Calcitriol,’ which is a kind of vitamin D analogue by many medical experts.

It works by binding Vitamin D receptors called Keratinocytes which are responsible for excessive skin cell production. This enables to bring the rate at which skin cells are massively produced from an excessive level back to the normal rate and thus reduce the symptoms of plaque psoriasis.

It helps treat plaque psoriasis, a skin condition that leads to the thickening and scaling of the skin due to excessive production of skin cells. The Silkis ointment works by reducing the excessive production of skin cells, hence, getting rid of scaly, red, and itchy skin patches found in most psoriasis patients. After two weeks of consistent use of Silkis ointment the patient will notice a considerable improvement of the skin.

Silkis ointment helps cure mild to moderately severe condition of plaque psoriasis with two weeks of consistent use. It can be used to up to 35% of the total skin surface of the body, thus reducing symptoms of thickening, scaly, red, and itchy skin.

Apply Silkis ointment on the affected area of the skin two times a day, preferably one in the morning and one at bedtime after thoroughly washing the affected area. A considerable improvement of the skin will be noticed with up to 4 weeks of consistent use of Silkis.

Silkis ointment should be applied to the affected areas where psoriasis is approximately two times daily- morning and evening. Never attempt to use over 30 grams of the medication daily and it must be used to only 35% of the body area.

To use Silkis ointment, wash and carefully pat dry the affected area. Very gently apply and rub the emollient on the affected area until such time that it is absorbed in the skin. Do not cover the affected area, let it air dry naturally.
