Urea is both a humectant and moisturizer that promotes re-hydration of the skin and helps to replenish natural urea content of the skin lost with cleansing. Known for its keratolytic and moisturizing properties, it helps alleviate symptoms of dryness, roughness, and scaling. Urea is commonly used in creams and lotions for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and calluses, enhancing skin hydration and promoting softer, smoother skin.
