Urea is also produced naturally by the skin and is part of the essential Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Urea is hygroscopic, which means it is able to bind moisture into the outermost layer of skin, thus relieves itching and roughness, helping to fight dry skin symptoms. It is also keratolytic, meaning it improves natural exfoliation and soothes and smoothes the skin’s surface. As a substance produced naturally by the skin, Urea is well-tolerated even by dry and sensitive skin. Because all of these effects and very good study data, Urea is the gold standard in treating of dry skin.*

Like Urea, Lactate (the salt of Lactic Acid) is also produced naturally by skin and is part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Lactate absorbs and retains moisture within the stratum corneum, or upper layer of the skin, and therefore plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s physical properties. Low levels of Lactate within the stratum corneum are known to be associated with dry skin.
Ceramides are the most important skin barrier lipids. They repair and strengthen the skin's barrier function and protect the skin from drying out. Dry skin symptoms are relieved.
Lactic Acid is a skin’s own substance, being an essential component of the NMF (= natural moisturizing factor) as well as a AHA (=Alpha-hydroxy acid).
Lactic Acid acts in the stratum corneum with a two-fold effect:
Why do I need a special moisturiser for my face?
Your face is generally exposed to the elements more than the body and therefore needs frequent moisturisation to prevent itching, redness, scaling and irritation. Eucerin Replenishing Face Cream Night 5% Urea contains key ingredients that lock in moisture to aid the regeneration process that mainly occurs at night. Learn more about dry facial skin.
Why should I use Eucerin Dry Skin Replenishing Face Night Cream 5% UREA instead of just using a body product, such as Eucerin Dry Skin Replenishing Cream 5% UREA on my face?
Facial skin is different to body skin, and Dry Skin Replenishing Face Night Cream 5% UREA is specifically formulated for facial skin - it has a superior texture making it more easily absorbed and better tolerated (when used on the face).
Is Dry Skin Replenishing Face Night Cream 5% UREA safe for children?
This product is suitable for use on children aged 3 years or more or from 1 year with medical supervision. If you want a product that is suitable for babies, try Eucerin AtoControl Body Care Lotion or Face Care Cream. Both of these products are suitable for babies.
I am not sure if I have dry skin, extremely dry skin, or a skin condition. How can I tell the difference?
