Many soaps and cleansers contain harsh alkali detergents that wash away the epidermal lipids and moisturizing factors that form skin’s natural protective barrier. This leaves it prone to dryness and irritation.
Eucerin UreaRepair ORIGINAL 5% Urea Washfluid contains very gentle cleansing agents, making it suitable for cleansing very dry, rough body skin. It is further enriched with Urea and NMFs which protect skin from drying out further and relieve the itchiness that often comes with dry skin. The formula leaves skin smooth and supple and is ideal for daily cleansing as it moisturizes skin and supports its natural barrier function.
The body wash for dry skin is suitable for those with mature skin, Atopic Dermatitis and/or 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.*

NMFs
Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) are water-soluble, hygroscopic compounds like amino acids, Urea and Lactic acid that are naturally present in the stratum corneum.
Key benefits are:
- Hydration Support: NMFs bind water and help maintain skin hydration by preventing moisture loss.
- Barrier Function: By reinforcing the skin’s water-binding capacity, NMFs contribute to a healthy and resilient epidermal barrier.
