A two-step system designed around how skin actually heals.
Most OTC products give your skin one pass. Nopsor gives it two — one to clear the surface, one to work overnight while you sleep. Here's why that difference matters.

Why this works when other products don't.
Why nighttime?
Skin cell renewal peaks between 11pm and 4am — your body's natural repair window. Applying active ingredients at night means they work in sync with what your skin is already doing, rather than fighting against daily friction, sweat, and washing that interrupt daytime products.
Why two steps?
Step 1 removes the scale barrier so active ingredients can actually reach the skin beneath. Step 2 holds those same actives against your skin for 7 to 8 hours overnight. Most OTC products do one pass. Nopsor does both — and that sustained contact time is what makes the difference.
Three steps. Every night. That's it.
Apply Nopsor Shampoo
Apply to affected areas, lather gently, and leave on for 2–3 minutes before rinsing. The salicylic acid lifts scale and the coal tar begins working immediately — even in rinse-off contact time.
Pat dry — don't rub
Gently pat skin dry with a clean towel. Rubbing creates friction that can aggravate psoriasis and remove the residual active ingredients still on your skin from Step 1.
Apply Nopsor Ointment
Apply a thin layer to all affected areas and leave on overnight. The petrolatum base holds coal tar, salicylic acid, and the 8-herb blend in sustained contact with your skin for 7 to 8 hours while you sleep.
Results take time — here's what most people notice.
Psoriasis responds differently for everyone. This reflects what many people report with consistent nightly use — not a guarantee, just an honest guide to what lies ahead.
Early days
Skin activation
The routine begins working beneath the surface. Visible change typically lags behind what's happening at the skin-cell level — this is normal, not a sign it isn't working.
Weeks 1–3
Scale removal
Salicylic acid and coal tar work to loosen and lift built-up scale. Some people notice texture changes first — skin may feel different before it looks different.
Weeks 3–6
Cellular slowdown
Coal tar continues working to slow the rapid skin cell turnover behind plaque buildup. Redness may persist after scaling reduces — this is part of the healing arc.
Weeks 6+
Visible improvement
With consistent nightly use, many people report calmer, smoother-looking skin. Pink or light-brown marks where plaques were are normal — they fade over time.

Frequently asked questions
How long before I see results?
Most people notice texture changes within the first 1–3 weeks, with more visible improvement between weeks 4–8 with consistent nightly use. Psoriasis responds differently for everyone — patience and consistency matter more than any single application.
Can I use Nopsor on my scalp?
Yes. The Nopsor Shampoo is specifically formulated for scalp use. Apply to wet hair and affected scalp areas, lather gently, leave on for 2–3 minutes, then rinse. For scalp-only psoriasis, the Shampoo alone may be sufficient to start.
Is Nopsor safe to use every night?
Nopsor uses FDA OTC monograph-approved active ingredients — coal tar and salicylic acid — at concentrations established as safe for regular use. Follow the application instructions and avoid contact with eyes.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
We offer a 40-day money-back guarantee. If Nopsor doesn’t work for you, contact us for a refund. Individual results vary — see full terms for details.
Can I use Nopsor with other psoriasis treatments?
If you are using prescription treatments or biologics, consult your doctor before adding any OTC product to your routine. For OTC-only users, Nopsor can generally be used alongside moisturizers, but avoid layering other active-ingredient products on the same areas at the same time.
How long does one set last?
With nightly use on moderate affected areas, most users report the Shampoo lasting approximately 4–6 weeks and the Ointment lasting 6–8 weeks. Results vary based on the size of affected areas and application frequency.
