Product Information

As an intensive treatment, the product should only be applied to localized problem areas 1 rather than the whole body. Clinical and dermatological test show that skin is visibly smoother and supple after one week and improves continuously with regular use. Urea is mainly known and used in dermatology for its keratolytic and hydrating properties. In other words, it hits the skin with a double whammy combo by both gently exfoliating and moisturizing at the same time. A rare feature of most therapeutic agents. Or as a pair of researchers put it… A 2013 study suggested that urea may help some medications penetrate through your skin. These medications include corticosteroids and antifungal creams. For years I went on with my life, clueless as to why my skin looked so strange. I’d google similar symptoms every night, but I couldn’t quite find anything of value. I had friends with severe acne who still had much better skin underneath. So what was going on with my skin?”

While our bodies are busy taking out the garbage, we’re over here trying to put that garbage on our faces! 😀She seems happy as well, stating recently “my skin feels fantastic you guys! I feel like I just came out of utero or something. I feel like I’ve just been born.” Lmao.

A couple years ago I was quite literally thinking of putting a “foot cream” on my face because I couldn’t for the life of me eliminate the dry flakey skin around my chin and nose, until I came across this post by u/AMElolzz that explained what urea is. The combination of these unusual ingredients produces a salve that we found particularly effective to treat red and scaly patches of skin. Instantly soothing but extremely effective at deep moisturisation, the balm helped to treat these patches of eczema, reviving skin to its normal state in a very short time. Kim HO, et al. (2021).

Is he actually not wearing man makeup????? crazyness. That guy must be very pleased to have come so far:) People with psoriasis and some other skin conditions may have less naturally occurring urea in their skin than is optimal. Is urea in beauty products from pee? Now that we’ve discussed the science behind urea, let’s have a little fun by talking about 3 anecdotal experiences. The higher doses (typically around 30% or higher) work best to exfoliate, getting rid of the roughest skin patches. For example, high-dose urea can be used to treat dense dead skin areas, which are commonly found on the heels of our feet.

Urea is part of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) of skin, which is made up of 40% amino acids, 12% sodium PCA, 9% glycerol, and 8.5% urea (among other things). ( 3) These are all hygroscopic (water-holding) substances, that are essential for maintaining the health, function, and hydration of the stratum corneum.

Glycerol and urea can be used to increase skin permeability in reduced hydration conditions.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.

I haven’t noticed a change on my face (like I said, three days), but my lower legs have been horribly, painfully itchy for the last couple years, particularly after I take a shower. At its worst, I would wake up with finger shaped bruises on my legs. I had noticed that exfoliation seemed to help, but I have sensitive skin, and manual exfoliation would mess me up even up more. My dermatologist told me to stop using a loofah/exfoliator, to take only cold showers, and to take an antihistamine everyday, in addition to the gentle cleanser and strong cream I already used. The antihistamine helped, but it never went away.

How is this treated? Well, supposedly with a urea-containing cream – a potent keratolytic emollient. Urea dissolves the intercellular matrix of the cells of the stratum corneum, promoting desquamation of scaly skin, eventually resulting in softening of hyperkeratotic areas.

Indeed a problem with many moisturizers, since they don’t work on a cellular level like urea. ;D It’s no wonder the poor guy’s skin wasn’t improving with the regular stuff.
