What is it used for? Urea is used to treat chronic dry skin conditions, such as eczema. It is also used to treat skin conditions that cause dry, thickened, scaly, flaky and cracked skin (ichthyosis, xeroderma) and thickening of the outermost layer of the skin (hyperkeratosis). It is an emollient, also known as a moisturiser.
While internal urea transported by the kidneys plays a vital role in human metabolism, synthetic urea often finds its way into topical dermatological products to rehydrate the skin. Lab-manufactured urea can be helpful in treating scaly skin, corns, calluses, and ingrown nails. By increasing moisture levels within the skin, urea not only softens and reduces rough texture, but it also has a localized anesthetic effect, helping to curtail cycles of itching, irritation, and flare-ups.
