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.*

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.

Panthenol

Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are two names commonly used for the same ingredient.  Panthenol participates in numerous metabolic processes (e.g. energy production, synthesis of fatty acids) and helps to improve hydration in the outermost layers of the skin. Panthenol converts into Panthotenic Acid (a B-Complex Vitamin) in the skin and enhances skin regeneration and repair. When applied regularly, it has been proven to considerably improve symptoms of skin irritation such as dryness, roughness, scaling and redness. It is also an effective moisturizer. Very well absorbed by the skin, it regenerates, stimulates epithelialisation and wound healing. It alleviates irritation and inflammation.

    Eucerin 5% urea gentle shower gel
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Eucerin 5%urea shower gel. It was gentle on my skin and didn't dry my skin out or irritate my skin. I would recommend this shower gel. I would use this again.
