Key Takeaways:

  • Urea is a natural ingredient for deep moisturising and gentle exfoliation, making it ideal for hydrating your lips.
  • Dermal Therapy Lip Balm is the first and only clinically proven lip balm with 2.5% urea, specifically designed for severely dry and chapped lips.
  • Clinical studies show that Dermal Therapy Lip Balm delivers visible improvement in lip moisture and overall condition in just 1 day.

Few things are as uncomfortable as persistent dry lips, leaving you constantly searching for effective relief. Dermal Therapy Lip Balm is powered by a unique urea-rich formula for rapid and visible results. This article explains the little-known causes of dry lips and why urea’s powerful properties make it the best lip balm for dry lips.

What Causes Dry Lips?

When your lips lose their smooth, healthy feel, it’s more than just surface dryness. Here are the important physiological changes that lead to chapped lips:

  • Vulnerable Moisture Barrier: Lips lack oil glands, making them prone to rapid moisture loss from environmental factors (cold, wind, sun) which weaken their protective barrier.
  • Disrupted Cell Turnover: The natural shedding of dead skin cells is impaired, causing roughness, flaking, and cracks.
  • Damaged Skin Proteins: Licking, biting, or harsh products damage keratin, reducing the lips’ ability to retain moisture and protect.
  • Inflammation & Irritation: A weakened barrier leaves lips susceptible to inflammation, redness, and infections.
  • Internal Factors: Dehydration or vitamin deficiencies (e.g., B vitamins) can also lead to dry lips, as the body prioritises water for vital organs.

Why Urea is a Natural Powerhouse for Your Lips

Fortunately, there’s a powerful solution. Urea isn’t just another ingredient, it’s a natural powerhouse that transforms dry skin into soft, healthy lips. Here are four reasons why urea plays an important role in lip care.

1. Powerful Humectant

Urea is a remarkable humectant, meaning it actively draws and binds moisture from the air and deeper skin layers, significantly boosting hydration in your lips and keeping them plump.

2. Gentle Exfoliator

It works like a gentle exfoliator, softly breaking down the tough, flaky, dead skin cells on chapped lips. This reveals smoother, healthier skin underneath and allows other moisturising ingredients to penetrate more effectively.

3. Barrier Reinforcement

By aiding in cell turnover and enhancing water retention, Urea helps strengthen your lips’ natural protective barrier, defending against future dryness and irritation.

4. Comfortable Hydration

Despite its potent action, Urea provides deep, non-greasy hydration, ensuring your lips feel comfortable and smooth without any heavy residue.

7 Tips to Nourish Your Lips

Achieving soft, healthy lips is a daily practice, and with Dermal Therapy, it’s easier than ever. Follow these seven simple steps to prevent dry, chapped lips.

  1. Apply Consistently: Use Dermal Therapy Lip Balm throughout the day and before bed for sustained moisture.
  2. Gentle Exfoliation: Once or twice a week, lightly exfoliate with a natural scrub or Dermal Therapy Overnight Lip Repair – Lip Mask to smooth lips and aid balm absorption.
  3. Sun Protection: Consider using an additional SPF lip balm (such as Dermal Therapy Lip Balm SPF 50+) when outdoors to shield lips from UV damage.
  4. Proper Hydration: Drink plenty of water daily to support overall skin and lip hydration from within.
  5. No Licking & Picking: Resist licking your lips, as saliva can worsen dryness, and avoid picking flaky skin to prevent irritation.
  6. Choose Wisely: Always choose a hydrating lip balm like Dermal Therapy and try to avoid irritating ingredients such as artificial fragrances.
  7. Nutrient-Rich Diet: Eat a balanced diet with essential vitamins and healthy fats to support lip health from the inside out.

Urea Lip Balm FAQs

Yes. Urea is a naturally occurring moisturising factor found in healthy skin. At the right concentration, it helps draw in moisture, soften dry skin, gently remove flaky build-up, and support the lips’ moisture barrier. This makes it especially effective for severely dry or cracked lips.

Dermal Therapy Lip Balm contains 2.5% urea. It is the first and only clinically proven lip balm formulated with urea to target severely dry and chapped lips.

Dermal Therapy Lip Balm is widely recognised as one of the best urea lip balms available. Its 2.5% urea formula is clinically tested and shown to improve lip moisture and condition in just one day, making it suitable for persistent or severe dryness.

They work differently. Hyaluronic acid mainly attracts moisture to the skin’s surface, while urea both hydrates and helps soften and smooth rough, flaky skin. For very dry, cracked lips, urea offers broader benefits because it hydrates, gently exfoliates, and supports barrier repair.

Ongoing dry lips can be linked to dehydration or deficiencies in B vitamins, iron, or essential fatty acids. Environmental exposure and lip-licking habits also play a major role. If dryness persists, a targeted lip treatment can help restore moisture while underlying factors are addressed.

Dermatologists typically recommend fragrance-free lip balms that focus on hydration and barrier repair. Products containing ingredients like urea, lanolin, and occlusives are often advised for ongoing dryness. Dermal Therapy Lip Balm is dermatologist-recommended for its clinically proven results on stubborn dry lips.
