Relaxing Day Doing My Skincare And Makeup Routine

"This is a fragrance-free body moisturizer that has lactic acid so it can really help soften dry rough skin. This is a great neck cream if you will because it's very occlusive and the neck skin is a lot more delicate. The lactic acid helps with hydrating but the overall formulation is not such that it's going to be like aggressively exfoliating. The lactic acid can really get in there and soften dull appearing skin and improve the overall appearance of the texture of the skin on your neck."

"I've been using it as a kind of alternative to a petrolatum ointment, it's like a hybrid between an ointment and a lotion, really emollient and it dissolves right away. I've successfully put it on my face, although if you have acne prone or oily skin you probably won't like it, it might irritate your acne. But it's been working out pretty well for me, it's free of fragrance and it makes your skin really glowy and luminous. I'm loving it."

"Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion contains a unique three-dimensional form formula that's enriched with alpha hydroxy and natural moisturizing factors and moisturizes, exfoliates, and conditions really dry, flaky skin. The key ingredient here is urea, 10% again, which will exfoliate and hydrate all at the same time. It also has ceramides which will strengthen the skin barrier."

"Eucerin makes the Intensive Repair Lotion, and it has a lot of urea in it to help really soften plaques in the bottom of the feet. Urea is a great humectant that draws in water but it's also a keratolytic that will break up dead skin and help it peel away more readily. It's one of my favorite body moisturizers."

"Two of my favorites are the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and the Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion. These are both really rich, thick, creamy moisturizers, and it's really important to get in the habit of using these every single day. You want to try to use it after showering or bathing to help lock in the hydration as much as possible."

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.
