A mother claims her psoriasis disappeared after using a cream for children that has been branded a ‘miracle moisturiser’.
Laura Gray, from the North East, suffered from the incurable skin condition for years. Only ‘harsh’ creams from pharmacists offered her any sort of relief.
But her patches were gone within a day after her mother’s suggestion to try Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser, which she bought from Asda.
Her post on Facebook recommending the £3.99 product, which is aimed at children, went viral and attracted more than 40,000 shares.
She wrote: ‘Needed to share this with you all. I suffer from psoriasis, have done for years.

‘I get it all up my arms, neck and chest and up until yesterday only hydrocortisone cream would get rid of it, but it’s really harsh and only pharmacists can give it you.
‘Yesterday my Mam told me try this baby moisturiser, I’m not joking 24 hours later my psoriasis is gone. Anyone suffering with psoriasis or eczema you need to try this.’
Ms Gray is one of just dozens of women who claim to have noticed benefits.

Paige Sweeney, 23, spent more than two years with dermatologists trying to find a cure for the eczema afflicting her daughter Evie-Rae – until she found Childs Farm.
The toddler, now three, would wake up every night, scratching herself until she bled, Ms Sweeney, from Nottingham, revealed last June.
Describing it as a ‘miracle cream’, she said: ‘Within a matter of days I could see her skin starting to clear up. I couldn’t believe it.’

Joanne Nevin, 28, of Ballynahinch, Galway, revealed in February how the cream cleared up her baby’s eczema within just four weeks.
Her daughter Kelisha looked as though she had ‘boiling water poured over her’ because of the severity of the skin condition.
WHAT IS PSORIASIS?
Psoriasis is an immune condition that occurs when a sufferer’s skin cells are replaced in just a few days rather than the usual 21 to 28 days.
This causes an accumulation of skin cells that build up to form raised plaques, which can be flaky, scaly, red and itchy.
Some sufferers have a family history of the condition.
Triggers for flare-ups include stress, certain medication, hormonal changes and skin injury.
There is no cure.
Treatment usually starts with topical creams and gels.

But Ms Nevin claimed at the time her child’s eczema hadn’t returned ever since.
Damien Broderick, 26, from Dublin, explained in December how using the children’s cream helped to keep his psoriasis flare-ups at bay.
The fashion blogger claims his skin used to ‘shed like snow’ and used to vacuum frequently to pick up the flakes that would fall off his body.
Desperate attempts to combat his psoriasis with Chinese medicine and acupuncture proved unsuccessful. He found relief in Child’s Farm.
And last September, a 21-year-old hairdresser revealed that the cream tackled her condition – which plagued her hands – within two weeks.
Nicole O’Dwyer, from Tipperary, Ireland, was warned to give up her job because she struggled to find a treatment for her condition. But she was able to treat it using the Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser.
Joanna Jensen created Childs Farm, which sells £12 million worth of products a year, from her Basingstoke home eight years ago.
The 47-year-old started making her own toiletries in her ‘freezing cold’ barn because her children had sensitive skin.
Ms Gray is one of just dozens of women who rave about the cream. Paige Sweeney, 23, spent two years trying to find a way to tackle the eczema afflicting her daughter Evie-Rae
Describing Childs Farm as a ‘miracle cream’, she said: ‘Within a matter of days I could see her skin starting to clear up. I couldn’t believe it’
