NART: 63382-09924-35Eucerin 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 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 dry and rough.
Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 5% Urea Hand Cream gives dry, rough hands the daily care they need. It contains a unique combination of ingredients – Urea, Ceramide and other Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) – which bind moisture in and repair skin´s natural protective barrier to prevent further moisture loss. The formula has been clinically and dermatologically proven to deliver both immediate relief and intense, long-lasting moisturization for dry, rough hands, even after repeated hand-washing. It strengthens skin’s natural barrier, making skin resilient to dryness for up to 48 hours.
The hand cream with urea is suitable for all types of dry hands including mature skin and skin conditions such as Xerosis, Diabetes and Psoriasis. It can also be used for adjunctive care.
Clinical Formula
Urea
Urea is a naturally occurring component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). It plays a vital role in maintaining skin hydration and barrier function.
Key benefits are:
- Intensive Moisture Retention: As a hygroscopic molecule, Urea attracts and binds water in the outermost skin layers, effectively relieving dryness, itching, and roughness.
- Enhanced Skin Exfoliation & Smoothing: With its keratolytic properties, Urea supports natural exfoliation of dead skin cells, helping to soften and smooth the skin’s surface.
- High Tolerability for Sensitive Skin: As an endogenous substance, Urea is well-tolerated by the skin, making it suitable for dry and sensitive skin types.
Because of these clinically proven effects, Urea is regarded as the gold standard in the treatment of dry skin.*

Ceramide 3
Ceramides are essential skin lipids that form a key component of the epidermal barrier.
They provide two main benefits:
- Barrier Function: Ceramides strengthen and restore the skin’s protective barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss and shielding against environmental stressors.
- Dry Skin Relief: By maintaining optimal hydration levels, ceramides alleviate symptoms of dryness, keeping the skin soft and resilient.
