A two-step system designed around your skin's overnight renewal.
Nopsor gives your skin two passes — one to clear the surface, one to work overnight while you sleep. Here's how the routine works.

Why the routine works in two steps.
Why nighttime?
Skin cell renewal is generally more active overnight. Applying the key ingredients at night keeps them on your skin during hours when it isn't exposed to daily friction, sweat, and washing that interrupt daytime products.
Why two steps?
Step 1 removes the scale barrier so the key ingredients can reach the skin beneath. Step 2 holds those same key ingredients against your skin for 7 to 8 hours overnight.
Three steps. Every night. That's it.
Apply Nopsor Shampoo
Apply to affected areas, lather gently, and leave on for at least 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 key 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
Changes can be subtle at first. Visible change often takes a few weeks of consistent use.
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.
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.
Individual results vary. This timeline reflects general patterns, not a guarantee of results for any individual.

Frequently asked questions
How long before I see results?
Many 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 at least 3 minutes, then rinse. For scalp-only psoriasis, the Shampoo alone may be sufficient to start.
Can I use Nopsor every night?
Nopsor is designed for regular use as directed on the label. Use the Shampoo at least twice a week, or as directed by a doctor, and apply the Ointment as directed. If your condition worsens or does not improve after regular use, stop use and ask a doctor. 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?
Do not use Nopsor with other forms of psoriasis therapy, such as ultraviolet radiation or prescription drugs, unless directed to do so by a doctor. If you use biologics, talk with 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.
