Eucerin Complete Repair Moisture Lotion with 5% Urea contains a unique and highly effective combination of naturally occurring compounds that combat multiple key factors that cause dry skin. Urea and other natural moisturising factors (NMFs) bind in moisture to hydrate the upper layers of the skin. Ceramide-3 strengthens the skins natural protective barrier to prevent moisture loss due to evaporation, and to block out irritants that can cause inflammation and itching. Gluco-glycerol restores the skins natural moisture-distribution network in the deeper layers, to enhance the natural upward flow of moisture to the outer layers, ensuring long-lasting hydration.
