When the skin on our bodies has a stable barrier function, it protects us from external irritants and is able to maintain its optimal level of hydration. But when that barrier is impaired, skin can lose moisture and look and feel dry as a result. Eucerin UreaRepair 10% Urea Intensive Moisturizing Lotion for very dry, rough skin provides the daily care it needs. It contains a unique formula with triple moisturizing complex – 10% Urea, Ceramides and other Natural Moisturizers – for immediate relief of rough, very dry skin signs: roughness, redness, flakiness, itchiness and tensed feeling: 1) 10% Urea intensively moisturizes and softens skin 2) Natural moisturizers improve the skins water-binding capacity which results in an increase of moisture content 3) In combination with lipids such as Ceramides the skins own, protective barrier is strengthend and moisture locked The result: Intensive 72H moisture and strengthening of the protective skin barrier. ■ The skin feels pleasantly smooth and supple again ■ The skin is gently exfoliated ■ The water-in-oil emulsion absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky film on the skin ■ Skin is resilient and dry skin reoccurrence is delayed ■ Fragrance free The lotion for extremely dry skin is suitable for mature skin and those with Diabetes, Psoriasis and Keratosis Pilaris.

  • 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 moisturizer for very dry, rough skin?

A lotion for very 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 crack.

Eucerin’s UreaRepair 10% Urea Intensive Moisturizing Lotion for extremely dry skin contains a high concentration of Urea and other Natural Moisturizers (to bind water in to the skin) and Ceramides (to repair the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss). The formula gives immediate relief and carries on working, delaying the symptoms of very dry, rough skin for up to 72 hours.

Is Eucerin UreaRepair 10% Urea Intensive Moisturizing Lotion safe for children?

This lotion for very dry skin is recommended for adults and has not been tested for children. For babies and children with dry skin and Atopic Dermatitis we recommend Eucerin AtopiControl. Most products in this range are suitable for babies over three months old.

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