What is Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Hand Cream?
This Eucerin hand cream is a form of treatment that works to help relieve the effects of dry skin on the hands. The cream contains the active ingredient urea. Urea is a natural component of the skin that helps to maintain moisture. Urea can be lost thanks to the use of hot water and certain types of soap when washing. As well as working to restore moisture in the skin, this cream will protect from the effects of dry skin for up to 48 hours.
How does this cream work?
Urea restores moistures in the skin and there are other ingredients which contribute to the treatment of the skin. Ceramide is in the cream which helps to form a protective barrier for the skin, preventing moisture loss.
Who is this hand cream suitable for?
This hand cream is suitable for anyone who is suffering from dry skin, or the effects of skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis on the hands. It should not be used by anyone who is allergic to the ingredients contained in the cream.
Anyone who is either pregnant or breastfeeding, or is currently using any form of medication, should consult a doctor before using this hand cream.
