"The INKEY List and this one I've got is their 10% Urea Moisturizer. Urea is a great hydrating ingredient for skin. I also love their AHA acid serum, the rose hip oil, I have no idea what happened with that it's not on Sephora site any longer, and their CoQ10 Serum is great. Some of their cleansers are nice. They've got a lot of products that people absolutely love and a really nice selection. I wish they kept a few more of their base products because I really liked them, especially like the rose hip oil. This one's 20 bucks."

"If you just want to start super simple, The INKEY List has a 10% Urea online. A 10 to 20% would probably be tolerated okay on the arms."

"The 10% Urea Moisturizer, I really like. They came out with this a couple of years ago and I fell in love with it immediately. As a moisturizer, I think it will really suit folks who are a little bit on the oily side, they want something a little bit lighter. This is not the heavy rich creams I've been talking about all video long. So if you have oily skin or combination skin that leans oily, I think you'll like this. If you have more of a balanced or a normal skin type, I think you'll like this as well. It is a really fantastic kind of gel-based moisturizer, feels very hydrating because urea is a natural moisturizing factor for your skin, so it really helps to hydrate your skin. It's also barrier supportive. It's just good for the health of your skin. But urea has a secondary benefit. If you do suffer with eczema or if you have really rough patches on your skin, it can really help to soften and loosen those over time. It also helps with irritation and itchiness on the skin as well."

"For moisturizer I'm using The INKEY List 10% Urea moisturizer, which is really for dry skin. My skin isn't that dry, but even in spring it can get really cold sometimes, and at night I like something richer. It has a thicker texture than you'd think initially, but it spreads easily, and yes it's shiny, but it really leaves my skin plump and hydrated."

"I brought The Inkey List Super Solutions 10% Urea Moisturizer, mainly to use before my tretinoin at night, because it's just deeply hydrating. It's not that hot here so I can still get away with using it, but it's probably not one I would reach for in the summer."

"I really like moisturizers with ingredients like urea and alpha hydroxy acid that can act as great humectants and have been shown to help soften the cuticles and repair nails. For example, moisturizers like The INKEY List 10% Urea Moisturizer is a great one. It's lightweight and does not leave a lot of residue on your hands afterwards."

Dermatologist Reviews The INKEY List Skincare | DR. JENNY LIU

"If you have more dry skin or just looking for a more nourishing moisturizer, you must check out their 10% Urea Moisturizer. I am obsessed with this product, and to be honest I'm surprised that there aren't more brands out there with higher strength urea. We often see urea, you know, with other ingredients as part of a moisturizer, but to have urea as like the main star, I haven't seen a lot, and thank you to them for making that because urea is such a great ingredient that is so underrated. As a dermatologist, I prescribe stronger urea creams like 20 to 40 percent for a lot of skin conditions from dry, cracked fingers and feet to calluses on the feet to thickened elbows and knees to even acanthosis nigricans that we see on the neck, underarms, and groin area. For individuals who have really thickened toenails, 40% urea is great to soften the toenails and make them less thick and easier to file down. So urea has a lot of applications medically for me as a dermatologist, so it's just really nice to see a stronger formulation of urea that is available to use as part of skincare. This retails for $19.99, so it's a little bit more on the pricey side. I do wish the bottle was a little bit bigger, but I personally think it's really worth the twenty dollars."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

Humectants and emollients

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.
