Eucerin Roughness Smoothing Lotion 10% Urea

Eucerin Roughness Smoothing Lotion with 10% Urea is a body lotion for skin that is not just dry but rough, scaly or bumpy — the kind ordinary moisturizers do not change.

Urea is the key. It is a natural moisturizing factor already present in healthy skin, and at 10% it does two jobs: it binds water into the skin, and it gently softens and loosens the build-up of rough, dead skin cells. That is why it smooths texture as well as hydrating — something a standard lotion cannot do.

How to use: apply to the body once or twice daily, focusing on rough areas such as elbows, knees, shins and heels. Avoid broken skin and the face.

Frequently asked questions

What is urea and is it safe?
Urea is a component of the skin's own moisturizing system, made synthetically for cosmetics. It is one of the most studied and well-tolerated ingredients for very dry skin.

Does it help with bumpy arms (keratosis pilaris)?
Urea is a common recommendation for it because it softens the keratin plugs. Use it consistently for several weeks.

Why does it sting slightly?
Urea can tingle on cracked or very dry skin for the first few uses. Avoid broken skin; the sensation usually fades as the skin improves.
