This gentle, replenishing and effective body cleanser for very dry, rough skin can be used daily and will not wash away skin’s natural protective barrier. It is enriched with moisturising Urea and other NMFs to prevent skin from drying out.
NART: 87975-09920-27Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Replenishing Body Wash
Many soaps and cleansers contain harsh alkali detergents that wash away the epidermal lipids and moisturising factors that form skin’s natural protective barrier. This leaves it prone to dryness and irritation.
Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Body Wash contains very gentle cleansing agents, making it suitable for cleansing dry to extremely dry skin. It is further enriched with Urea and NMFs that bind moisture into the stratum corneum (the upper layer of the skin). The formula is ideal for daily cleansing as it moisturises skin, and supports its natural barrier function.
Suitable for mature skin and suitable for people who may be prone to Psoriasis. Also suitable as adjunctive care.

- UreaLearn More
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.
