This light face cream for dry to very dry skin instantly moisturises and soothes tightness to give the skin a smooth and supple feel.
NART: 63326-09900-11Urea Repair Face Cream 5% Urea
Eucerin Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea is a light and gentle everyday moisturiser for dry to very dry and tight 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, supple feel. Rough skin is also usually caused by a lack of moisture, and Eucerin Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea reduces roughness by maintaining skin hydration. It is ideal for use under make-up or after shaving.

- UreaLearn More
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.*

Lactic Acid is a skin’s own substance, being an essential component of the NMF (= natural moisturizing factor) as well as a AHA (=Alpha-hydroxy acid).
Lactic Acid acts in the stratum corneum with a two-fold effect:- moisturizing: it reduces skin scaling and balances the skin’s pH value to fight dry skin symptoms
- comedolytic: it inhibits the formation of comedones by helping the skin to shed and exfoliate and thus the pores from becoming clogged.
FAQ
Why do I need a special moisturiser for my face?
Your face is generally exposed to the causes of dry skin, like sunshine, wind and detergents, much more frequently than the rest of your body, and therefore needs frequent moisturisation to prevent dry skin symptoms, such as itching, redness, scaling and irritation. Eucerin Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea contains key ingredients that lock in moisture to maintain long-lasting hydration. Learn more about dry facial skin.
Why should I use Eucerin Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea instead of just using a body product, such as Eucerin Smoothing Cream 5% Urea, on my face?
Facial skin is different to body skin, and Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea is specifically formulated for facial skin - it has a superior texture to Eucerin Smoothing Cream 5% Urea, making it more easily absorbed and better tolerated (when used on the face). Read more about skin in different body parts.
What is the difference between Eucerin Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea and Eucerin Smoothing Night Creme 5% Urea?
The intensive night creme provides instant moisture and reduces skin tightness overnight.
Is Eucerin Smoothing Face Cream 5% Urea safe for children?
This product was not designed for children, and therefore has not been tested by children. If you want a product that is suitable for children, try Eucerin AtopiControl Body Care Lotion or Face Care Cream. Both of these products are suitable for babies.
I am not sure if I have dry skin, extremely dry skin, or a skin condition. How can I tell the difference
You can find information about dry skin, as well as skin conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis on face and body and diabetes, throughout our website. But if you are worried or unsure about your symptoms, or they are becoming worse, we recommend you see your dermatologist or pharmacist for a face-to-face diagnosis.
