ScheduleNA
PrescriptionNot required (OTC)
Overview
Otc | Lotion
Uses & Benefits
Dry to very dry rough skin, keratosis pilaris-like roughness, scaling, barrier impairment, smoothing and hydration support
How It Works
Urea is a keratolytic and humectant: it attracts and binds water in the stratum corneum and helps soften and loosen hardened, scaly skin. This improves smoothness while enhancing hydration and barrier function.
Directions for Use
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to affected areas once or twice daily, preferably after bathing. Avoid application on broken or severely irritated skin unless advised.
Avoid eyes, mouth and mucous membranes. If significant irritation occurs, stop use and consult a doctor. Use caution in children and on sensitive/fissured skin as urea may sting.
Drug Interactions
No significant systemic interactions expected; combining with other exfoliants (AHA/BHA/retinoids) may increase irritation
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C, protect from heat and sunlight, keep tightly closed.
