Keralyt Psoriasis Salicylic Acid Cream 5% — 8 oz Full-Body Exfoliating Moisturizer for Scaly, Itchy Skin

Keralyt 5 is a full-body moisturizing exfoliating cream with 5% salicylic acid designed to soften scales, reduce flaking, and hydrate rough or irritated skin.

This 8-ounce jar combines a high-strength beta hydroxy acid with a restorative moisturizer to address thickened, flaky, and itchy areas across the body. Formulated by Summers Laboratories, Keralyt 5 is intended for use on stubborn dry patches, rough plaques, and other hyperkeratotic skin where exfoliation plus hydration can make skin smoother and more comfortable. Apply to clean skin—especially after bathing—to lock in moisture and support the skin’s surface while the salicylic acid gently loosens scale.

How does Keralyt 5 help flaky, rough, or scaly skin?

The 5% salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic agent that helps separate and remove dead skin cells while the cream’s emollients restore moisture to prevent immediate re-drying. Regular use reduces the visible build-up of scales and improves texture.

• 5% salicylic acid for effective exfoliation of thickened skin
• Moisturizing base so it won’t leave skin feeling stripped
• Designed for full-body application, including elbows, knees, and torso

Is Keralyt 5 safe for sensitive areas or daily use?

Keralyt 5 is formulated for tougher or thicker areas; for highly sensitive zones consider milder Keralyt options or spot-test first. Use as directed—avoid broken skin, mucous membranes, and prolonged daily use on delicate facial skin unless advised by a clinician.

• Ideal for resilient areas with heavy scaling, not for open wounds
• Patch-test one area before broader application
• Alternate with gentler products on thin or easily irritated skin

How do I apply this cream for best results?

Apply to clean, dry skin, preferably right after bathing to trap moisture. Use a thin, even layer on affected areas once or twice daily as tolerated, then allow it to absorb; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.

• Cleanse and pat skin dry before applying
• Use after showering to help seal in moisture
• Wash hands after application and avoid eye contact

What makes Keralyt 5 different from other topical moisturizers?

Unlike basic lotions, Keralyt 5 pairs a clinically recognized exfoliant with a formulated moisturizer to both remove excess scale and support barrier hydration. It’s the higher-strength option in the Keralyt line aimed at persistent or thicker lesions that need active exfoliation plus care.

• Combines keratolytic action with emollient support
• Part of a broader Keralyt system for targeted care (creams, gels, shampoos)
• Produced by Summers Laboratories with focus on long-term skin support

Who is this for: Keralyt 5 is intended for adults and older teens dealing with persistent rough patches, thick scaling, or recurrent flaking on the body who need a stronger topical exfoliant combined with moisturizing care. It’s a practical choice for people seeking an over-the-counter, targeted approach to reduce visible scale and improve skin texture on elbows, knees, torso, and other resilient areas. If you have very sensitive skin, open sores, or are unsure about interaction with other treatments, consult a healthcare professional before use.
