"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."

"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."

"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."

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.
