What the gurus are saying

Urea at 10% here delivers real keratolytic action, breaking down dead skin and working particularly well on calluses, bumpy arms, and keratosis pilaris, though some gurus report a noticeable stinging sensation on first use. The texture is silky and non-sticky, and hydration does carry over into the next day even if you skip a dose. Anyone with very inflamed or actively scratched skin from atopic dermatitis may want to patch-test first, since urea can sting on sensitive areas, though many find the formula gentler than other urea moisturizers they have tried.

"La Roche-Posay came out with their Lipikar Urea 10%. And I love the texture of this. It's the roughness smoothing lotion here. Up to 48 hours of hydration. The texture is silky. For me, I'm weightlifting twice a week and I have these calluses on my hands, but I keep them down by using a higher percentage of urea, especially at bedtime before going to sleep. This also works well if you have really bumpy backs of the arms and thighs called keratosis pilaris. You see this more with people with eczema or atopic dermatitis. You can get these keratin plugs stuck up in the follicles and if you want to break those up with urea, this is a great start here. La Roche-Posay did a great job with their Lipikar because it has great keratolytic action. It's going to break up that dead skin with the urea."

"Use a moisturizer that has niacinamide in it. Niacinamide helps to address hyperpigmentation. It's also great for the moisture barrier, cutting down on irritation in the long run. La Roche-Posay Lipikar Lotion has niacinamide. It's a great option. You can put moisturizer under your arm. In fact, after you shave, when you get out of the shower, if it's a night that you're not putting on antiperspirant, go ahead and apply some lotion. That fragrance-free body lotion from La Roche-Posay with niacinamide can be a great option."

*NEW* Urea Lotions: CeraVe Vs La Roche Posay

"The La Roche-Posay Lipikar Urea 10% Roughness Smoothing Lotion has 10% urea, which is helpful for moisturizing the skin and improving barrier function. I did experience quite a bit of stinging sensation with this one. Texture-wise it doesn't leave a sticky residue on the skin, which I really like. I put it on at night after showering and the following day my skin is moisturized, firm, and hydrated. I appreciate the softness, the suppleness, the firmness from better moisture retention. It's pretty long lasting into the next day, for about 48 hours. If I skip moisturizing with this the next night, my skin does stay moisturized for the next day. There's no fragrance or aroma of the urea, which is nice because urea can have an off-putting sour aroma to it. It has shea butter in the backbone, which is a nice moisturizing formula."

Trying Roc LIP VOLUMIZER & La Roche Posay Lipikar Urea Lotion

"I purchased this a while back. I'm a huge urea lover, but let me tell you, urea it can tingle. Urea and lactic acid they can give a little bit of a tingle, burn, sting. If you have atopic dermatitis you probably already know that, because if you've ever put it on skin that you've been scratching a lot, you know, trying to cut back on that and it's all red and maybe a little oozy, a little weepy, the acid moisturizers while great for atopic dermatitis, they can burn and sting. This bad boy, yeah I use a lot of urea moisturizers and I haven't had that tingle in a bit."

"Next up, the La Roche-Posay Lipikar moisturizer. I don't use this so much in the spring and summer because it's super thick and hydrating, but during the winter and fall I really love this stuff. The bottle's huge, and the fact that I repurchased it says something, because this bottle does last a long time, although it's super thick so a little bit doesn't go as far as you'd want. Someone was requesting something thinner and I was like, this is really good stuff, I can get you something thinner but it's not going to be nearly as hydrating and protective. This stuff, you apply it and then you go to shower the next day and you still feel moisturized and soft. I love that, and this provides that."
