Urea 40% cream is a topical moisturizer and keratolytic used to treat dry, rough, and thickened skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, and calluses. By hydrating the skin and gently breaking down excess keratin, urea helps soften hardened areas, improve texture, and promote smoother, healthier skin.
Urea works by attracting and retaining moisture while also loosening bonds between dead skin cells, allowing for gentle exfoliation. Regular use can help manage chronic skin conditions, improve comfort, and restore skin’s natural barrier.
