Dry and very dry skin
Eucerin Dry Skin Replenishing Face Creme 5% UREA is a light and gentle everyday moisturiser for dry to very dry skin. Enriched with Urea and Lactate, two naturally occurring compounds that bind in moisture, it instantly hydrates dry facial skin, reducing the feeling of tightness to give it a smooth and supple feel. Rough skin is usually caused by a lack of moisture, Eucerin Dry Skin Replenishing Face Cream 5% UREA reduces this roughness by maintaining skin hydration. It is ideal for use under make-up or after shaving.
Eucerin Dry Skin Replenishing Face Cream 5% UREA was tested by 24 people with healthy skin. Moisturisation and skin roughness were the core areas for assessment.

Dry skin is a very common condition and accounts for more than 40% of visits to dermatologists. Depending on the severity of dryness, skin can be tight and rough and/or prone to itching, scaling, flakiness and redness. In extreme cases, skin is pathologically dry (Xerosis).
The main reasons for dryness are a lack of moisture and an impaired skin barrier function which results from:
- A lack of lipids: these are essential for a stable barrier function, which also protects from moisture loss.
- A deficit of Urea and Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) which bind moisture in to the skin.
All Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS products are formulated with a unique combination of ingredients:
- Ceramide and other lipids to form a lipid envelope to strengthen the skin barrier and protect against moisture loss.
- Urea and other Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) to improve skin’s water-binding capacity and increase its moisture content.
The formula is clinically proven to replenish both lipids and moisture in the skin to give immediate relief. It also delays the symptoms of dry skin for up to 48 hours. Eucerin UreaRepair Plus leaves skin looking and feeling smooth, soft and supple.
Eucerin UreaRepair Plus offers a comprehensive range of products which includes lotions, creams and a cleanser as well as hand and foot care treatments. These products are available with different concentrations of the water-binding active Urea, and the concentration used should vary according to the severity of dryness.
