What the gurus are saying

Experts praise the silky texture, lack of stickiness, and strong hydrating power that lasts well into the next day, plus urea's ability to help break down bumpy skin and keratin plugs common in keratosis pilaris and eczema-prone skin. However, some found it stings noticeably on irritated or freshly scratched skin, which matters for anyone with active atopic dermatitis or very sensitive areas. Starting at night and patch-testing first may help those prone to urea sensitivity.

"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."

"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."
