I was on 25 mg per day.
It was difficult for me to "see" the clearing as the worse of my psoriasis was on and behind ears, scalp and back and I could only see those using a mirror (my elbows, stomach etc were mild in comparison) so I more relied on the reduction of itchiness and scaling and just how it felt to the touch. Another member here also was taking Acitretin the same time as me and she noticed the redness clearing first. She had a good picture showing her progress.
