Frequently Asked Questions

Urea is a keratolytic agent, which means it does two jobs at once. It acts as a powerful humectant to pull water into the skin and gently dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells. This makes Dermal Therapy Very Dry Skin Cream more effective than basic moisturisers for treating thick, rough, or scaly patches.

While this cream is incredibly effective for the body, it can be used on very dry facial patches if used sparingly. However, if you have sensitive facial skin, we recommend a patch test first. For general facial dryness, our Very Dry Face Cream is often a lighter, non-comedogenic alternative.

For the best results, apply the cream two to three times daily. It is richly formulated, so a small amount goes a long way. Many users see a noticeable difference in skin texture and softness within the first 24 hours of use.

The best Urea cream should combine high-percentage Urea with skin-soothing emollients like Shea Butter and Vitamin E. The Dermal Therapy Very Dry Skin range is a popular choice because it provides clinical-strength hydration while remaining non-greasy and accessible without a prescription.
