What the gurus are saying

Thick, rough patches are where this one gets the most praise. Several gurus say it softens hard skin on hands and dry elbows, knees and heels, and that it helps flaking and keratosis pilaris. Those with flaky skin may find it brings quick relief. The one thing to keep in mind: much of the wider praise was for a 5% urea face cream from Eucerin, which is a different product.

"If you have very rough skin on your hands or very itchy skin, this is the Eucerin Urea 10% Cream and this is something that is really great. Urea is an ingredient that can help to loosen what kind of holds all of that rough skin in place so it helps to loosen up keratin and that's what kind of helps the build up of the hard skin on our hands."

"I tried out a lot of facial products with urea this year, and I liked them all. [...] Honorable mention goes to [...] a five percent urea facial cream from Eucerin as well."

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.
