Shower foam for dry skin with a delicate, soothing scent
Some soaps and cleansers contain harsh ingredients that wash away the epidermal lipids and moisturising factors that form skin’s natural protective barrier. They can irritate skin and cause it to dry out even further.
Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS Urea Shower Foam is a gentle face and body cleanser that has been specially formulated for daily use on dry, very dry, rough and irritable skin. With a unique combination of moisturising ingredients – Urea and other NMF – it feels light and soft on the skin and cleans gently without rubbing. It is clinically and dermatologically proven to clean gently and effectively and to protect skin from further drying out.
Our shower foam for dry skin is lightly scented with skin-friendly ingredients proven to have anti-inflammatory properties and to be kind on dry skin. It is also free-from any perfume components known to cause allergies. It delivers all the benefits of gentle cleansing with a soothing, delicate scent. Skin feels smooth and supple.
Suitable for adults, including those with mature skin and/or Diabetes, and for children age three and older. It can also be used for adjunctive care

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.*

NMFs are a variety of water soluable compounds like amino acids, Urea and Lactic Acid which naturally occur in the stratum corneum (outer layer of the epidermis). They increase the water-binding capacity of the skin, keeping it well hydrated.
