Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Hand Cream

The skin on our hands is more exposed to external aggressors than on any other part of our body. Frequent hand washing means it is often in contact with water, as well as soaps and other chemicals, and subject to temperature changes. A stable barrier function protects us from these external factors and keeps skin hydrated. When the skin barrier is impaired, skin may lose moisture and hands can look and feel very dry, red and scaly.

Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Hand Cream contain Urea, Ceramide and other Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs). It has been clinically proven to deliver both immediate relief and intense moisturisation for very dry, rough and strained hands, even after repeated hand-washing. It strengthens skin’s natural barrier, making skin resilient to dryness for up to 48 hours.

Suitable for those with Xerosis, Psoriasis, Diabetes and mature skin. Also for adjunctive care.

How to Use

Massage into your hands until cream is full absorbed. Apply as often as needed.

  • Urea

    Urea is also produced naturally by the skin and is part of the essential Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Urea is hygroscopic, which means it is able to bind moisture into the outermost layer of skin, thus relieves itching and roughness, helping  to  fight  dry  skin symptoms. It is also keratolytic, meaning it improves natural exfoliation and soothes and smoothes the skin’s surface. As a substance produced naturally by the skin, Urea is well-tolerated even by dry and sensitive skin. Because all of these effects and very good study data, Urea is the gold standard in treating of dry skin.*

  • Ceramide 3

    Ceramides are the most important skin barrier lipids. They repair and strengthen the skin's barrier function and protect the skin from drying out. Dry skin symptoms are relieved.

  • Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF)

    NMFs are a variety of water soluable compounds like amino acids, Urea and Lactic Acid which naturally occur in the stratum corneum (outer layer of the epidermis). They increase the water-binding capacity of the skin, keeping it well hydrated.

FAQ

Why do I need a special moisturiser for my hands?

The skin on our hands is more exposed to external aggressors than on any other part of our body. Frequent hand washing means the skin on our hands is often in contact with water, as well as soaps and other chemicals, and subject to temperature changes. A stable barrier function protects us from these external factors and keeps skin hydrated. However, when the skin barrier is impaired, skin may lose moisture and hands can look and feel very dry, red and scaly. 

Our dedicated hand cream absorbs easily, is non-greasy and contains the balance of ingredients needed to help protect your skin from losing moisture. Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Hand Cream offers immediate and long-lasting (up to 48-hour) relief from dry skin, It soothes redness and smooths rough skin, keeping hands soft and moisturised, even with frequent handwashing

 

How can I tell if I have very dry skin or a skin condition or disease?

You can find information about dry skin as well as conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis on this website. You can also take our skin test to find out more about your skin type and condition and how best to care for it. If you are still unsure, or concerned about your symptoms, we recommend you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for advice.

    Good Cream
    Good texture not heavy and hydrating. I use it for dry face skin sometimes

    So Long, Thanks for the Good Times
    For many years, this has been by far the best hand cream that I have ever found, and would shop at Boots specifically because they stocked it exclusively. It was the only hand cream that actually delivered on what it claimed and, unusually at that time, it did so without any nasty ingredients to irritate, including perfumes. Although never cheap, unlike everything else, the price doesn’t seem to have changed so much during that time. However, I am VERY concerned that my latest purchase (in updated packaging) appears more watery than ever, have got through the tube in double quick time, and with no noticeable benefit to my skin. It is as dry and scaly as can be achieved with any other product on the market. Time to look for a new favourite, I fear.

    Best handcream
    Best working handcream. Ive literally tried all of them and with this one you see results after one application. Great for those with sensitive skin.
