"It can help soothe irritation, reduce rough texture. It works really, really well for severe keratosis pilaris or dry skin or eczema prone skin. So, if your earlier tip of glycolic acid on your keratosis pilaris didn't work alone, do the glycolic acid and apply urea on top of that and you've got a combination to eliminate your keratosis pilaris bumps. The key ingredient in this product is urea 10% and also contains some ceramides and natural moisturizing factors."

"But at 10% it is also going to pull in water and act like a humectant. So it's the perfect blend of hydrating and softening and smoothing your skin in one. This hydrating moisturizer is beautiful. I absolutely love it. It hydrates my skin. It leaves me feeling supple and soft and it does have a fast dry down. I like fragrance, and it is something that I love to use because it makes me feel better. Part of skincare is to [...] feel like you got away, and this product does that for me."

"So if you're on the ashy side or if you're on the drier side, urea might be a great ingredient to incorporate into your skin regimen. Creams with 10 to 20% urea are ideal. Eucerin has, and I have it by my shower, their urea lotion 10, which offers intense hydration, and this is a 10% urea with dexpanthenol, which is a nice bonus."

"I absolutely am obsessed with this guy. [...] It has 10 percent urea, panthenol, and the consistency is on the thicker end of the spectrum. It smells like laundry, [...] there is fragrance to it so if you're sensitive watch out, but if you're not sensitive enjoy the aromatherapy. I love the scent of this guy and sometimes I'll even put it on my neck and chest, especially as the chest starts to get thinner as we age."

"What I love about this is it's somehow lightweight but super super hydrating at the same time. I have some products that you put on and they're so heavy, which I love, takes a long time to rub them in, but you get that hydration. This is the complete opposite of that but it gives you the same result. It's a little bit watery in texture but I love it and I will continue to repurchase. [...] You can get it at the drugstore and that's a big bonus for me."

"The next product is Eucerin Urea Repair. This is water, urea 5%, and it's soap-free, so I do like this for dry skin. It's got no other bells and whistles, no other actives in it, but it's good for dry skin or eczema-prone skin."

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.
