Clinical Formula

Urea

Urea is a naturally occurring component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). It plays a vital role in maintaining skin hydration and barrier function. Key benefits are:

  • Intensive Moisture Retention: As a hygroscopic molecule, Urea attracts and binds water in the outermost skin layers, effectively relieving dryness, itching, and roughness.
  • Enhanced Skin Exfoliation & Smoothing: With its keratolytic properties, Urea supports natural exfoliation of dead skin cells, helping to soften and smooth the skin’s surface.
  • High Tolerability for Sensitive Skin: As an endogenous substance, Urea is well-tolerated by the skin, making it suitable for dry and sensitive skin types. Because of these clinically proven effects, Urea is regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of dry skin.*

Ceramide 3

Ceramides are essential skin lipids that form a key component of the epidermal barrier. They provide two main benefits:

  • Barrier Function: Ceramides strengthen and restore the skin’s protective barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss and shielding against environmental stressors.
  • Dry Skin Relief: By maintaining optimal hydration levels, ceramides alleviate symptoms of dryness, keeping the skin soft and resilient.

NMFs

Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) are water-soluble, hygroscopic compounds like amino acids, Urea and Lactic acid that are naturally present in the stratum corneum. Key benefits are:

Hydration Support: NMFs bind water and help maintain skin hydration by preventing moisture loss.

Barrier Function: By reinforcing the skin’s water-binding capacity, NMFs contribute to a healthy and resilient epidermal barrier.

FAQ

Why do I need a special moisturizer for my hands?

The skin on our hands is more exposed to external aggressors than on any other part of our body. Frequent hand washing means the skin on our hands is often in contact with water, as well as soaps and other chemicals, and subject to temperature changes. A stable barrier function protects us from these external factors and keeps skin hydrated. However, when the skin barrier is impaired, skin may lose moisture and hands can look and feel very dry, red and scaly.

Our dedicated hand cream absorbs easily, is non-greasy and contains the balance of ingredients needed to help protect your skin from losing moisture. Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Hand Cream offers immediate + 48h relief from dry skin. It soothes redness and smooths rough skin, keeping hands soft and moisturized, even with frequent handwashing

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. 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.

    Good for drier skin
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good hand cream but hasn't become a go to for me, my hands are extremely dry and this doesn't quite hit the mark. For normal to slightly dry hands this would be perfect, it's got a smooth balm like texture and is unscented, it moisturises well and leaves hands soft.
