What does Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea do?
Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea is designed to help replenish moisture in dry, rough-feeling body skin while improving softness, comfort and smoothness. Dry skin often develops when the outer layer of the skin loses water faster than it can replace it, leaving skin feeling tight, flaky or uncomfortable.
The formula combines 6% urea, glycerin, panthenol, shea butter and dimethicone to support hydration in multiple ways. Humectants help attract and retain moisture, emollients help soften rough-feeling skin, and protective ingredients help reduce moisture loss from the skin's surface.
With regular use, skin feels more comfortable, appears less dry and develops a softer, smoother texture. The lightweight lotion texture absorbs easily, making it suitable for everyday body moisturising.
Who is Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea suitable for?
It is particularly suited to dry, rough or moisture-depleted body skin. The lightweight texture makes it suitable for daily use across a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
What does 6% urea do?
Urea is a naturally occurring component of the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF), a group of substances that help maintain hydration and support a healthy skin barrier. At 6%, urea helps attract and retain moisture within the outer layers of the skin while also softening rough, dry-feeling areas.
This makes it particularly useful for body skin that feels tight, flaky or uncomfortable due to dryness. Unlike heavier moisturisers that mainly coat the skin's surface, urea helps improve the skin's ability to hold water, supporting longer-lasting hydration and smoother-feeling skin.
With regular use, 6% urea can help improve the appearance of dry, rough patches while leaving skin feeling softer, more supple and comfortable. It is considered a concentration commonly used for daily body moisturising, providing both hydration and gentle skin-softening benefits without acting as an intensive exfoliating treatment.
Can I use Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea on rough areas such as elbows, knees and legs?
Yes. The formula can be applied across the entire body and may be especially useful on areas that tend to become drier, rougher or more prone to flaking, such as elbows, knees, shins and lower legs. The combination of 6% urea and moisturising ingredients helps soften rough-feeling skin while supporting hydration and comfort.
How often should I use Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea?
It is designed for daily use. Apply after bathing, showering or whenever skin feels dry to help maintain hydration and comfort.
What is the difference between Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea, Dry Skin Repair Cream 10% Urea and Hand Repair Cream 10% Urea?
All three products use urea to support hydration and softer-feeling skin, but they differ in texture, intensity and best use.
- Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea is the lightest option and is designed for daily all-over body moisturising. It helps maintain hydration and comfort across larger areas such as arms, legs and torso.
- Dry Skin Repair Cream 10% Urea has a richer texture and a higher urea level, making it better suited to very dry, rough or flaky body skin that needs more intensive moisture and softening support.
- Hand Repair Cream 10% Urea is the most targeted option. It is designed primarily for dry, rough-feeling hands, especially after frequent washing, but can also be used as a rich spot treatment on very dry areas of the body such as feet, elbows, knees or shins.
For daily body hydration, choose the 6% lotion. For more persistent body dryness, choose the 10% body cream. For hands or small rough areas that need a richer, concentrated texture, choose the 10% hand cream.
When will I notice results?
Many people notice softer, more comfortable skin immediately after application. Improvements in the feel and appearance of dry, rough skin may become more noticeable with consistent daily use.
Can I use Moisturising Body Lotion 6% Urea during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Pregnancy and breastfeeding suitability are not clearly supported for this product. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or unsure, consult your healthcare provider before use.
