Ingredients
We choose all our ingredients with great care and never compromise on quality. Learn more about the key ingredients of this product.
The ingredients in our brand products are updated regularly. For this reason, occasionally there may be discrepancies between the ingredients on our website and on our product packaging. We therefore recommend that you always pay attention to the information on our product packaging and check the ingredients listed there.
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.*

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 Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) and Psoriasis on this website. If you are still unsure, or concerned about your symptoms, we recommend you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for advice.
Is Eucerin UreaRepair 5% Urea Original Cream safe for children?
This product is recommended for adults and has not been tested for children. For babies and children, we recommend Eucerin AtoControl. Most products in this range are suitable for babies over three months old with dry to extremely dry skin with Atopic Dermatitis.
Why is this product more suitable for my elbows and shins than Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS Body Cream 5% Urea or Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS Lotion 5% Urea?
This cream is specially formulated for the treatment of dry skin on certain areas of the body. Its firm texture helps it to target those areas. If you are looking for a cream for full body application, a more fluid texture may be easier to apply.
