Name: Eucerin Complete Repair™ Intensive Lotion
Brand: Eucerin

Intensive care for temporary relief of typical dry and irritated skin

This rich yet easy-to-apply intensive lotion fights dry skin in three distinct ways, and deeply moisturizes and soothes chapped, scaly and extremely dry skin.

Product info

Eucerin Complete Repair™ Intensive Lotion with 10% Urea contains a unique and highly effective combination of ingredients that combat multiple key factors which cause dry skin:

Urea and natural moisturising factors (NMFs) bind moisture to hydrate the upper layers of the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and soft.
Ceramide-3 replenishes the skin’s natural moisture barrier to prevent moisture loss due to evaporation.
Glyceryl Glucoside supports the skin's moisture barrier.

Ingredients

NMFs

The skin also contains several other natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) in addition to Urea. These are Lactate, PCA, amino acids, salts and sugars. Like Urea, these natural moisturizing factors attract and bind water in the stratum corneum, or uppermost layer of the skin, to moisturize the skin.

Ceramide 3

Ceramides are produced by the skin as a natural protective barrier that prevents moisture loss due to evaporation. If the skin’s ceramide levels fall, dryness can result. Ceramide-3 is a synthetically produced biologically identical molecule that protects the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Gluco-Glycerol

Gluco-glycerol (also known as Glyceryl Glucoside) is a nature-identical combination of glycerol and glucose. Used by blue-green algae to ensure their survival for 3.5 billion years.

Urea

Urea is one of the substances produced naturally by the skin called “natural moisturizing factors” (NMFs). Urea is hygroscopic, binding water in the uppermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. Urea is also keratolytic, meaning it breaks down the connections between dead skin cells, improving cell shedding and, thus, smoothing the skin’s surface.

How it works

Dry skin is not only lacking in moisture, but is also deficient in moisture binding substances, such as Urea and other natural moisturizers, and often has a compromised barrier function and moisture distribution network. This combination of ingredients allows the multiple causes of dry skin to be addressed simultaneously; moisture loss is reduced, moisture distribution is maximised and your skin’s moisture barrier is replenished. These processes all work to turn dry, tight, rough and scaly skin into smooth, soft, and healthy-looking skin.
