Urea (also known as Carbamide) is produced naturally by the skin and is part of the essential Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Urea is hygroscopic, which means it is able to bind moisture into the outermost layer of skin. It is also keratolytic, meaning helps the skin to get rid of dead skin cells dead skin cells, to make it smooth again, and has anti-itch and anti-microbial properties. As a result, it improves natural exfoliation and soothes and smoothes the skin’s surface. As a substance produced naturally by the skin, Urea is well-tolerated even by dry and sensitive skin. Because all of these effects and very good study data, Urea is the gold standard in treating of dry skin.*

Ceramides are important lipids in the hydrolipid film (which protects the external layers of skin). Produced naturally in healthy skin, they strengthen the skin barrier, helping to prevent moisture loss due to evaporation and keeping out irritants that can cause inflammation and itching. When skin’s Ceramide levels fall the skin barrier is impaired. Skin can start to lose water and become dry and irritated.
Eucerin uses synthetic Ceramides that are biologically-identical and that enhance skin’s natural barrier – locking in moisture and preventing dryness and irritation.
Healthy skin contains Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) which attract and bind in water to the outermost layers of skin, helping to prevent it from drying out and becoming scaly and rough. The NMF present in skin include substances such as amino acids, inorganic salts, Lactate and Urea. The UreaRepair PLUS range replicates the natural composition of NMF in healthy skin, giving dry skin the substances it needs for optimal hydration.
Why do I need a special moisturiser for my face?
Your face is generally exposed to the causes of dry skin, like sunshine, wind and detergents, much more frequently than the rest of your body, and therefore needs frequent moisturisation to prevent dry skin symptoms, such as itching, redness, scaling and irritation. Eucerin UREA REPAIR Face Cream contains key ingredients that lock in moisture to maintain long-lasting hydration. Learn more about dry facial skin.
Why should I use Eucerin UREA REPAIR Face Cream instead of just using a body product, such as Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Body Cream, on my face?
Facial skin is different to body skin, and UREA REPAIR Face Cream is specifically formulated for facial skin - it has a superior texture to Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Body Cream, making it more easily absorbed and better tolerated (when used on the face).

What is the difference between Eucerin UREA REPAIR Face Cream and Eucerin UREA REPAIR Rich Face Cream?
The intensive UREA REPAIR Rich Face Cream provides instant moisture and reduces skin tightness overnight.
Is Eucerin UREA REPAIR Face Cream safe for children?
This product was not designed for children, and therefore has not been tested by children. If you want a product that is suitable for children, try Eucerin AtopiControl Body Care Lotion or Face Care Cream. Both of these products are suitable for babies.
I am not sure if I have dry skin, extremely dry skin, or a skin condition. How can I tell the difference
