Urea

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.*

Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF)

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.

Ceramides

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.

FAQ

Why do I need a special dry skin lotion for dry, rough skin?

A moisturizer specially formulated for dry, rough skin should be rich in the ingredients that skin needs to prevent moisture loss, bind in more water and strengthen its protective barrier. Left untreated or treated with a product that doesn’t contain the appropriate ingredients, skin might dry out further and may even crack.

Eucerin’s UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Lotion with soothing scent contains Urea and other NMF (to bind water into the skin) and Ceramides (to repair the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss). The formula gives immediate relief and delays the symptoms of very dry skin (such as roughness and scaliness) for up to 48 hours.

How can I tell if I have dry skin or a skin disease/condition?

You can find information about dry skin or Xerosis, as well as conditions such as Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis), Keratosis Pilaris (or chicken skin) and Psoriasis on this website. You can also take our skin test to find out more about your skin type and condition and how best to care for it. If you are still unsure, or concerned about your symptoms, we recommend you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for advice.

What are the most effective ingredients for treating dry skin?

One of the best-known, tried and tested and most effective active ingredients for treating dry skin is Urea. It is considered the ‘gold standard’, based on its long history of efficacy and excellent research. You can find out more about it in Urea for the treatment of dry skin. Other actives that complement Urea and support its efficacy include Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) such as Ceramides and Gluco-Glycerol.

Is it OK to use fragranced products on dry, sensitive skin?

Some perfumes can irritate sensitive skin. For this reason, people with dry, sensitive skin often choose fragrance-free formulations, thinking that they have to compromise on fragrance in favor of a product that effectively treats dryness.

The lightly scented products in the Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS range – Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS Urea Shower Foam and Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Lotion with a soothing scent – combine proven effectiveness with a delicate, soothing and skin-friendly scent that is free-from perfumes known to cause allergies and is proven to be well tolerated by dry, sensitive skin. So now you can enjoy the best of both worlds without compromise.

If you prefer a fragrance-free moisturizer for your dry skin, we recommend Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Lotion.
