By the classical regularity theory for the Poisson equation, you have $$ \Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (B_1)} \le C \bigl(\Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (B_2)} + \Vert \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (B_2)} \bigr). $$ By scaling this gives $$ R\Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (B_R)} \le C \bigl(R^2 \Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (B_{2 R})} + \Vert \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (B_{2 R})} \bigr). $$ By translating the estimate, you obtain thus for every $R > 0$, $$ R\Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)} \le C \bigl(R^2 \Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)} + \Vert \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)} \bigr). $$ By taking $R = \sqrt{\Vert \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)} / \Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)}}$, we conclude that $$ \Vert \nabla \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)} \le 2C \Vert \Delta \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)}^{1/2} \Vert \psi \Vert_{L^\infty (\mathbb{R}^n)}^{1/2}. $$
