What the gurus are saying

The streaky application isn't ideal, but this cream earned praise for combining urea and lactic acid to soften rough skin on feet and patches like keratosis pilaris, all at under ten dollars. Dermatologists note it may feel less polished during application than some alternatives, yet the combination of these actives with ceramides makes it exceptional value for anyone dealing with roughness or dry patches.

"This Eucerin Roughness Relief Cream is really good for the feet. It has urea, and it also has lactic acid I believe, yes, and ceramides. It's very good."
All 3 takes from Dr Dray
WHY YOU SHOULD USE AHAs IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE | @DrDrayzday
"Their roughness relief line is amazing. [...] This one is [...] a cream, but it does go on the skin very streaky, so you may not like the feel of that. It's great for softening and exfoliating dry, rough skin."

MUST HAVE MOISTURIZERS FOR WINTER | Dr Dray
"This is one of my favorite urea body creams that comes in a tub with a purple label. [...] I love it, though it does go on with that streaky application that's not as cosmetically appealing. It's still a great cream for keratosis pilaris and dry patches on elbows, knees, and feet. The Cetaphil version is superior in terms of application, but both are great."
✓Yay
"Eucerin has a roughness relief line that consists of a lighter weight lotion, a thicker cream, and a spot treatment product. These products aim to do three things all in one: they smooth the skin, exfoliate the dead skin cells away, and hydrate the skin barrier. These contain urea, which is moisturizing and serves as an exfoliant, lactic acid, and ceramides."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
