Product info
Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Body Cream 450 ml
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 PLUS 5% Urea Body Cream contains Urea, Ceramide and other Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs). It has been clinically proven to deliver both immediate relief, and intense, long-lasting moisturisation, for dry and very dry skin.
This soft and pleasant cream, which comes in a convenient 450ml jar for full body application, strengthens skin’s natural barrier, making it soft, smooth and resilient to dryness for up to 48 hours.
Suitable for those with Psoriasis, Diabetes and mature skin. Also for adjunctive care.

FAQ (3)
Why do I need to moisturize my skin?
Skin is one of our most important protective barriers. It defends the body from external influences such as pollution, UV light and chemicals. These factors can also cause damage to the skin barrier and, when this happens, skin’s capacity to retain moisture is compromised. As a result, it becomes prone to dryness and irritation. It’s important that we care for our skin so that it, in turn, can carry on its vital work of protecting us.
Why do I need a special moisturizer for dry, rough skin?
A moisturiser specially formulated for very dry and 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.
A moisturiser such as Eucerin’s UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Body Cream contains Ceramide (to repair the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss) and Urea and other NMFs (to bind water into the skin). 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 very dry skin or a skin condition or disease?
You can find information about dry skin as well as conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis on this website. If you are still unsure, or concerned about your symptoms, we recommend you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for advice.

Hi Fiona,
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to review the product. We are sorry to hear that this product has not suited your particular skin type. May we perhaps suggest that you try the pH5 Body Cream, or the ATO Control Body Lotion, either of which may adequately suit your needs.
