What the gurus are saying

Thick enough to behave like a cream, yet never greasy or tacky: that's how gurus describe this fragrance-free urea lotion for rough, flaky, ashy skin and bumpy keratosis pilaris. Ceramides and gentle exfoliating acids do the smoothing, and it takes a little effort to rub in. The catch is that urea can sting cracked skin or a sensitive face, so heal raw patches first.

"For how rich it is, it absorbs pretty fast. It's completely unscented, so I tend to reach for this one when someone shows me legitimately dry skin, [...] flaky, rough texture, that ashy look, and tightness after the shower. [...] This is the lotion that treats it rather than covering it up. One small heads-up, if you apply anything with urea in it onto cracked or broken skin, [...] it can sting a little bit, so make sure you heal any raw skin first before using urea-containing lotions."

"It is the number one empty I've created. So it just has to exist. The body of it is very thick. It's very rich hydration. It leaves like this protective feeling on it. It's not greasy though, not tacky. And also has some exfoliating acids in it, too. Takes a little bit effort to rub this one in. [...] This is a frequently repurchased one for me and I buy them in bulk. I buy like three or four at a time because it really is just that incredible."

"The Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion is a great body moisturizer. It has five percent urea in it, which is more than double what your own urine produces, and it's not going to make you smell bad. In addition to the urea, it has other beneficial ingredients [...] like ceramide three and other natural moisturizing factors that actually help hydrate your skin and contain the lipids your skin barrier needs."

"A Urea lotion that is actually very thick, very rich is Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion, and that's going to be on sale also fragrance-free. Arguably one of Eucerin's best products in their roughness relief series. Urea is a fantastic ingredient for dry, rough skin, for hydrating, for smoothing."

All 6 takes from Dr Dray

How To Get Rid Of Liver Spots On The Feet (Stucco Keratosis)

"Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion has urea. Use these moisturizers two, three times a day to the area. Those catalytic ingredients so they get in there and they soften that, hydrate it, and help it to smooth out and flake off gently without traumatizing your skin. It doesn't get rid of them or anything like that, but it does help improve their appearance, make them less noticeable."

"Applying them topically can help improve ceramide production, improve barrier function. This also has urea, a humectant that softens and exfoliates dry, rough skin, and it has amino acids, which are natural moisturizing factors that help improve hydration. This is a very thick formula, absorbs nicely, doesn't leave a greasy residue. It really helps rejuvenate the look of dry skin and helps improve barrier function and moisture retention. Highly recommend this. Free of fragrance."

"It's a great option if you have dry, rough and bumpy skin, keratosis pilaris. You definitely can try using it on the face, just be aware that if you have really sensitive skin, the urea may sting a bit. In addition to urea, it also has lactic acid in it and it has ceramide in it. [...] I've used this on my face, I love it on the neck, but it's really a workhorse for improving skin texture."

Korean Foot Cream I'm Loving!

"If you have really thick kind of overgrown dry cuticles, try doing a Eucerin hand cream like [...] the Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion. This is the one with sunscreen, but they have one without sunscreen too. I mean you could do the sunscreen one of course because you want to be protecting your skin from the sun, but like I'm talking about it at night it can really help quite a bit."

"This is their very dry skin Advanced Repair Lotion. It has ceramides which are good for the moisture barrier, but it also has alpha hydroxy acids, which, as a reminder, if you do have really sensitive skin sometimes those can sting. It has alpha hydroxy acids and it also has urea, so this is one that really can deeply hydrate and exfoliate. But it's a very rich consistency. Like, they call it a lotion, but in my experience it almost behaves more like a cream."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
