Product info
Urea 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.
Clinical and dermatological studies
The efficacy of Eucerin Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea, applied twice daily on the inner forearm, was tested by 24 people with healthy skin. Moisturisation and skin roughness were assessed at baseline, after 1 week and 2 weeks of treatment, as well as after 3 and 7 days after the last application.
How To Use
Attention
If intensive sun exposure is expected, apply Eucerin Sun Creme SPF 30 or 50+ to protect from further photo-induced damage after applying care.

Ingredients
How it works
Dry skin is not only lacking in moisture, but also deficient in moisture binding substances, such as Urea and Lactate. Replenishing dry skin with these natural moisturising factors restores its natural moisture control system, reducing dryness and tightness to keep it soft, smooth and healthy.

FAQ (5)
-
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.
