Benefits

In Skin conditions: Aqurea treats the skin condition it was prescribed for, relieving itch, redness, dryness or infection so the skin can recover.
In Skin care: Aqurea protects, soothes and maintains the skin as part of a daily routine.
In Dry skin: Aqurea puts moisture back into dry skin and seals it in, relieving tightness, flaking and roughness.
In Eczema: Aqurea keeps eczema-prone skin soft and supple, which reduces flares and the need for steroid creams when used every day.
In Skin barrier repair: Aqurea restores the skin's natural protective layer so it holds water better and reacts less to irritants.
In Itching due to dryness: Aqurea relieves the itch that comes from dry skin by rehydrating it, which also protects the skin from scratch damage.

Side effects

Most side effects of Aqurea are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Local irritation
Redness
Itching
Dryness
Mild stinging on broken skin
Greasy feel
Rarely
a rash

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. Wash your hands before and after use, unless your hands are the area being treated. This is for use on the skin only — do not swallow it. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

How it works

This medicine combines 3 active ingredients: Lactic Acid, Propylene Glycol and Urea. Lactic Acid acts on the skin to treat or soothe the condition it is prescribed for. Propylene Glycol holds water in the skin and restores the barrier that dry, damaged skin has lost. Urea holds water in the skin and restores the barrier that dry, damaged skin has lost.

Warnings & precautions

For external use only, unless the pack says otherwise. Stop if the skin becomes more irritated, and see a doctor if the condition worsens or spreads. Do a small test patch first if you have sensitive skin. Apply generously and often — several times a day, and always within a few minutes of a bath while the skin is still damp. Some paraffin-based emollients are flammable when they soak into clothing and bedding. Keep away from open flames and cigarettes. Stop if the skin becomes more red, itchy or sore after use.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It is not a realistic risk from a moisturiser used on the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin.
Wash your hands after use.
Use lukewarm water, a soap substitute and short baths.
Smooth it on in the direction the hair grows rather than rubbing it in hard.
Keep using it when the skin looks normal.
That is what prevents the next flare.
