    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    The 20% urea concentration earns real praise, especially because high-dose urea options are thin on the ground at drugstore prices. Gurus are pleased to see such a potent humectant at this strength in a full-size bottle, making it practical for treating larger areas or rougher patches. This matters most for anyone hunting for an affordable way to tackle stubborn texture without hunting through specialist brands.

    "Cetaphil has been killing it this month. Another new release from them is the exfoliating rough and bumpy cream and this is so cool because it contains 20% of urea. I love this humectant and I'm so glad that it's starting to emerge in more skincare products. Urea especially at 20% is excellent for those conditions. [...] I'm so glad that it's starting to become a lot more common because you really don't have a lot of choices when it comes to high percentages of urea at least where I'm shopping for drugstore products there's very little choice. I love to see this high amount being used, especially in a larger bottle. A lot of my favorite urea products are so tiny, so I love this for full body application."

    "This is good for keratosis pilaris. It has salicylic acid in it which can help exfoliate those rough bumps."

    "A moisturizer with urea is a great option. A lot of people mistake that dry thickened skin for hyperpigmentation but really when the skin gets dry and thickened it's called keratinification and it can appear darker, but rather than seeking out ingredients like hydroquinone, just aggressively hydrating with something like urea is a great approach. I really like the Cetaphil Exfoliating Rough & Bumpy Cream."

    "This product has 20 percent urea, which is too strong for the face—it will burn and sting. But I use it on my arms to keep keratosis pilaris under control, and I also like using it on my elbows to rejuvenate them because they're a neglected area."

    "If you have keratosis pilaris, an alternative that I would recommend and I'm currently using and loving is the new Cetaphil Rough and Bumpy Moisturizer. It has urea in it. This doesn't have urea. It has lactic and glycolic and mandelic, those alpha hydroxy acids that are also helpful for keratosis pilaris. It's just gently exfoliating that built-up dry skin."
