AbbVie advises frustrated psoriasis patients to get ‘Real Clear’ in new awareness campaign

Ab­b­Vie’s newest pso­ri­a­sis TV ads show nu­mer­ous, ex­posed skin plaques on peo­ples’ arms, legs and chests to hit home its mes­sage. As one woman in a TV ad says, as she brush­es flakes off her shoul­der from neck plaques: “Enough with good enough.”

The voiceover in the 30-sec­ond ad ad­vis­es: “Don’t stay hid­ing or hurt­ing … It’s time to get re­al about pso­ri­a­sis, so your der­ma­tol­o­gist can help you get clear.”
