Urea is a hydroscopic, meaning that it binds moisture to the outermost layer of the skin, and also acts as a keratolytic to get rid of dead skin cells. As a result, this ingredient helps to soothe and smoothe the skin's surface as well as providing anti-itch and anti-microbial benefits.Natural Moisturising Factors:These attract and bind water to the outer layers of the skin which help to prevent scaly and dry skin. The Urea Repair Plus range replicates the natural composition of NMF's within healthy skin, providing dry skin the ingredients it needs for optimal hydration.Ceramides:Ceramides are lipids which are in the hydrolipid film of the skin (this helps to protect the external layers of the skin). They help to strengthen the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss and protect the skin from irritatants which can result in inflammation and itching. Eucerin utilises synthetic ceramides which are biologically-identical and help to enhance the skin's natural barrier. This helps to lock moisture in the skin and prevent dryness and irritation.Key Benefits of Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 10% Urea Lotion:Immediate and 48 hour dry skin relief.Clinical and dermatological studies prove very good care efficacy and skin tolerability on extremely dry and even on diseased skin.Skin is intensely moisturised.Skin looks and feels smooth and supple.Ceramides help repair the skin barrier.Urea and other NMFs help to relieve symptoms of dryness and roughness.Suitable for all adult skin.How to use Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 10% Urea LotionGently massage Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 10% Urea Lotion into the skin until it is completely absorbed.This lotion can be applied as often as required.
