    What the gurus are saying

    Urea is the standout ingredient here, and gurus praise it for softening tough skin on the feet and nails when used a couple of nights a week. The formula is non-comedogenic and free of fragrance and irritants, which means it won't clog pores or trigger sensitivity. One expert noted that a competing product combining urea with salicylic acid might be worth considering if you want gentler exfoliation alongside hydration.

    "You can [...] try Cetaphil Intensive Foot Ointment, a thin film, and that might do the trick honestly because it's urea and salicylic acid, but it's in an ointment base. The ointment is really good at reducing transepidermal water loss. That can actually be really helpful for stubborn keratosis pilaris where a lotion version of those ingredients hasn't quite cut it, just because of the longevity and the enhanced penetration."
