What the gurus are saying

Thick, rough patches are where this one gets the most praise. Several gurus say it softens hard skin on hands and dry elbows, knees and heels, and that it helps flaking and keratosis pilaris. Those with flaky skin may find it brings quick relief. The one thing to keep in mind: much of the wider praise was for a 5% urea face cream from Eucerin, which is a different product.

    "If you have very rough skin on your hands or very itchy skin, this is the Eucerin Urea 10% Cream and this is something that is really great. Urea is an ingredient that can help to loosen what kind of holds all of that rough skin in place so it helps to loosen up keratin and that's what kind of helps the build up of the hard skin on our hands."

    "Eucerin has urea which is a humectant that draws in water and it's a keratolytic so it's very nice for those with dry thick elbows knees dry cracked heels and KP. It's one of my favorites for keratosis pilaris."

    "I was using the Eucerin urea face cream, and I highly recommend it. It's five percent urea, I love it, and it's free of fragrance. [...] Eucerin doesn't make a bad product and that one is great. It's just not sold in the US market, so I buy it on Amazon and it goes in and out of stock."

    "I alternate this Eucerin urea cream with my other one. I was going back and forth about reordering the Eucerin urea because I really like both of these. This is what I'm putting on my face as basically my daily moisturizer, face and neck, and I've been super happy with both of them honestly."

    "I really find that the Eucerin urea moisturizer provides a nice balance between smoothing the surface of the skin and improving moisture content. [...] By applying it to the skin while it's still damp, the urea is hygroscopic and really helps pull water into the top layers of the epidermis, smoothing everything out and improving skin barrier function."

    "My skin felt baby soft the following morning and my sunscreen went on my skin more easily. [...] It definitely has a smoothing effect that improves the moisture content, which helps your skin exfoliate better because the enzymes in the skin can function properly. I was really happy with this. I wish we would have it here in the US. It glides on the skin smoothly and I loved it. It's super lightweight."

    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.
