Eucerin UreaRepair 5% Urea Moisturising Body Cream

Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) are water-soluble, hygroscopic substances like amino acids, urea, and lactic acid, found in the outermost layer of the skin. Key benefits include:

• Moisture retention: NMFs attract water and help maintain skin hydration by minimizing moisture loss.
• Protective function: By improving the skin's water-binding capacity, NMFs support a healthy and robust epidermal protective barrier.

Urea is a natural component of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs). It plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and barrier function.
The main benefits are:

• Intense moisture binding: As a hygroscopic molecule, urea attracts and retains water in the upper layers of the skin, effectively reducing dryness, itching, and roughness.
• Improved skin renewal and smoothing: Thanks to its keratolytic properties, urea promotes the natural shedding of dead skin cells, resulting in a soft and smooth skin surface.
• High tolerability for sensitive skin: As an endogenous substance, urea is well-accepted by the skin, making it particularly suitable for dry and sensitive skin types.
