The higher doses (typically around 30% or higher) work best to exfoliate, getting rid of the roughest skin patches. For example, high-dose urea can be used to treat dense dead skin areas, which are commonly found on the heels of our feet. Some products, including some featured on our list, are only intended for use on the heels of your feet or other localized areas of the body as needed. Some products are gentle enough to use on your face.

In the GH Beauty Lab's most recent test of hand creams, scientists evaluated 17 hand creams for their ability to hydrate skin, first using the Corneometer, a device that measures skin moisture levels. We calculated a moisture reading of bare skin, then dispensed a controlled amount of each product onto testers' forearms and measured hydration content a second time. Six hours later, testers returned to the Lab for another measurement to determine which creams actually improved moisturization.

Urea is known as a keratolytic agent. This means it breaks down the protein keratin in the outer layer of your skin. This action can help reduce dead skin buildup and get rid of flaking or scaling skin. Wash your hands with soap and water after applying this medicine, unless you are treating the skin on your hands. Soften moisturiser by rubbing it in between your hands and then rub it further in with a downward stroke of the other hand.

In products, urea is measured by percentages. The higher the percentage, the more exfoliation it provides. The outermost sublayer, the stratum corneum, keeps unwanted molecules from entering your body and prevents water loss through your skin. The water-retaining property of the stratum corneum largely comes from a group of substances known as natural moistening factors (NMFs). Among these NMFs are: Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).

When applying urea topical to the nails, avoid getting any medicine on the cuticles or surrounding skin. Apply generously to the nail and allow the medicine to dry. You may cover the nail with a bandage or gauze if your doctor advises. The treated nail should be easily removed after several days. It contains a highly concentrated 25% urea that targets extra dryness. Working in conjunction with natural AHAs, this easily absorbed foot cream dissolves dead skin layers and allows hydration to penetrate. With dimethicone, this foot cream establishes a thin, non-greasy protective film on top of the skin, which helps to prevent moisture loss and guards the skin against external threats. In addition, with scientifically added antimicrobial tea tree and lemon myrtle extract, it reduces inflammation and supports skin healing.

The combination of these unusual ingredients produces a salve that we found particularly effective to treat red and scaly patches of skin. Instantly soothing but extremely effective at deep moisturisation, the balm helped to treat these patches of eczema, reviving skin to its normal state in a very short time. There are seven different types of eczema, with the most common atopic dermatitis. Many different factors can contribute to eczema and these vary from person to person. They include: Dosage forms: topical cream (10%; 20%; 39%; 40%; 41%; 42%; 45%; 47%; 50%), topical foam (35%; 40%), Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health. Urea topical is available in many different forms (cream, lotion, ointment, liquid, gel, foam, shampoo, and others) for use on the skin or the scalp. Use your medicine exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.Björklund S, et al. (2013). Glycerol and urea can be used to increase skin permeability in reduced hydration conditions. Urea is found in skin, where it helps sustain barrier function and provide moisture. And as you may have suspected from its name, urea is found in urine. Urea is produced in your liver and is a breakdown product of amino acids.

Fortunately, there are products designed specifically for eczema sufferers. Try Aveeno’s Soothing Bath Soak or, if you’re a shower fan, Salcura’s Bioskin Body Wash.
