Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects the vulva in women (and the penis in men). The affected skin is usually itchy and may be white or pale in appearance. Lichen sclerosus can be treated, but there is no cure for the condition. If you are unsure whether you have lichen sclerosus, or would just like to find out more about the condition then we recommend you check out the Worldwide Lichen Sclerosus Support website for more information. Yes products are endorsed by WLSS. (www.lichensclerosus.org)
Yes is the natural choice of intimate product for women and men who experience lichen sclerosus. Yes lubricants and intimate moisturisers are based on unique organic formulations, and are guaranteed to be pure and free from any known skin irritants. Yes protects, lubricates and rehydrates intimate tissues, and at their core the products use ingredients that have proven pedigree as skin foods. Yes products are safe for use with vaginal dilators.
The accepted treatment of Lichen Sclerosus is a topical steroid. While Yes lubricants and moisturisers have immense value as a complimentary addition to the LS “Tool Kit”, they should not be regarded as a replacement for steroid creams.

“I am often asked which lubricant I like to use. In my work for VHAC and in my private life, I have tried the full range of lubricants available today and I find my favourite is YES. YES oil based is excellent for daily use to prevent dryness, even if intercourse is not taking place and YES water based is best used with condoms and before and during intercourse. Having a vulval skin condition often means seeking out a gentle product without harmful additives that may irritate. I find the gentle organic formula of YES is ideal for my vulval skin.”
Fabia Brackenbury, Founder of the Vulval Health Awareness Campaign and of the National Lichen Sclerosis Support Group
