Read more about our product

Some soaps and cleansers contain harsh ingredients that wash away the epidermal lipids and moisturizing factors that form skin’s natural protective barrier. They can irritate skin and cause it to dry out even further. Eucerin UreaRepair 5% Gentle Shower Gel is a soap and perfume-free face and body cleanser that has been specially formulated for daily use on very dry, rough and irritable skin. With a unique combination of moisturizing ingredients – Urea and other Natural Moisturizers – it gently cleanses and exfoliates rough skin without disrupting the skin barrier. The skin is perceivably smoother and feels replenished. It is clinically and dermatologically proven to clean gently while protecting the skin from further drying out - even with daily washing. Suitable for diseased skin like atopic eczema and xerosis, psoriasis. Also for adjunctive care. Fragrance free.

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.*

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.

Panthenol or Dexpanthenol

Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are two names commonly used for the same ingredient. Panthenol participates in numerous metabolic processes (e.g. energy production, synthesis of fatty acids) and helps to improve hydration in the outermost layers of the skin. Panthenol converts into Panthotenic Acid (a B-Complex Vitamin) in the skin and enhances skin regeneration and repair. When applied regularly, it has been proven to considerably improve symptoms of skin irritation such as dryness, roughness, scaling and redness. It is also an effective moisturizer. Very well absorbed by the skin, it regenerates, stimulates epithelialisation and wound healing. It alleviates irritation and inflammation.
