Eucerin Urea plus 30% Urea Creme, 75 ml Cream

Product Information

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. I suffer from chapped legs in the winter and when I shower it is painful , not anymore it is a pleasure to shower again without the pain of chapped legs. Thanks to its advanced technological expertise, Eucerin proposes reliable and efficient innovations, with high dermatological norms. Results: From 1 week, the skin is visibly softer and more supple, and continues to improve with regular use.

Urea is a key ingredient in many Eucerin formulas where it is often combined with Ceramides, other NMFs and Glycerol. These formulas include: Eucerin Aquaphor Repairing Ointment is suitable for skin superficially sensitized by a chemical peelor laser treatment. 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.* When it comes to treating patients and giving advice on specialist conditions doctors often turn to trusted medical bodies and their latest research for advice.

Moisturising should involve a combination of hydrating and lipid-replenishing ingredients formulated to restore skin’s natural barrier function in the best possible way and prevent skin from drying out further.Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) attract and bind in water to the outermost layers of skin, helping to prevent it from drying out and becoming scaly and rough. Like Urea, Lactate (the salt of Lactic Acid) is also produced naturally by skin and is part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Lactate absorbs and retains moisture within the stratum corneum, or upper layer of the skin, and therefore plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s physical properties. Low levels of Lactate within the stratum corneum are known to be associated with dry skin. I used the Eucerin urea repair lotion mainly on my feet, knees and elbows as the driest areas of my body.
