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.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
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.

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
