Moisturizing Cream for dry hands with 5% Urea and Ceramides

Give your hands the care they deserve. Clinically proven to deliver long-lasting moisturization for dry hands, even after repeated hand-washing. Eucerin Complete Repair Moisturizing Hand Cream locks in moisture and strengthens the skin's natural barrier for hands that looks and feels softer and smoother for 48 hours.

Product info

Hands are exposed to cold weather, water, soaps and other chemicals much more frequently than the rest of the body. This makes their skin more vulnerable to a breakdown in barrier function, resulting in moisture loss and dryness, redness due to dryness, scaling, and itching. Eucerin Repair Hand Creme 5% Urea is enriched with Urea and Lactate to soothe dry hand skin by providing the effective moisture it requires.

Ingredients

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.

Lactate

Like Urea, Lactate (the salt of Lactic Acid) is also a “natural moisturising factor” (NMF), and is produced naturally by the skin. Lactate absorbs and retains moisture within the stratum corneum, or upper layer of the skin, and therefore plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s physical properties. Low levels of Lactate within the stratum corneum are known to be associated with dry skin.

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 replenishes the skin's moisture barrier, reducing dryness and promoting skin elasticity to keep it feeling soft, smooth and healthy.

FAQ (2)

Why do I need a special moisturiser for my hands?

I am not sure if I have dry skin, extremely dry skin, or a skin condition. How can I tell the difference?
