What Experts Say

Urea is a humectant that draws water into the skin and softens the outer layer, called the stratum corneum. At a 10 percent concentration, it works mainly as a moisturizer rather than a strong exfoliant. Dermatologists commonly recommend it for chronic dry skin conditions that do not improve with regular lotions.

In Pakistan, dry and flaky skin is a common complaint during the winter months when humidity drops sharply across the country. Frequent use of harsh soaps and hot water for bathing, along with diabetes, often worsens skin dryness in local patients. Local dermatologists frequently recommend urea based lotions like this one as an affordable first choice before prescribing stronger keratolytic creams.

Most people tolerate urea lotion well, though a mild stinging sensation can occur on cracked or broken skin. It should not be used on open wounds or infected areas without medical advice. Anyone with persistent dryness lasting more than a few weeks should consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation.
