UreaRepair PLUS 10% Urea Foot Cream
Foot cream for dry, cracked feet
The skin on the soles of our feet has developed to be naturally thicker and harder than skin elsewhere on the body and is particularly susceptible to dryness. Feet are often subjected to the pressures and friction that come from hard surfaces or inappropriate footwear and these stresses can cause them, especially the heel pads, to dry out further.
Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS 10% Urea Foot Cream gives very dry, rough feet the intense moisturization they need. It contains a unique combination of ingredients – Urea, Ceramide and other Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) – which bind moisture in and repair skin´s natural protective barrier to prevent further moisture loss. The formula has been clinically and dermatologically proven to deliver immediate relief and intense, long-lasting moisturization, delaying dryness and roughness for up to 48 hours. Skin feels smooth again and thickened skin and callouses are reduced.
The foot cream is suitable for those with mature skin and skin conditions such as Xerosis, Diabetes and Psoriasis. It can also be used for adjunctive care.

Urea is also produced naturally by the skin and is part of the essential Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Urea is hygroscopic, which means it is able to bind moisture into the outermost layer of skin, thus relieves itching and roughness, helping to fight dry skin symptoms. It is also keratolytic, meaning it improves natural exfoliation and soothes and smoothes the skin’s surface. As a substance produced naturally by the skin, Urea is well-tolerated even by dry and sensitive skin. Because all of these effects and very good study data, Urea is the gold standard in treating of dry skin.*

Ceramides are the most important skin barrier lipids. They repair and strengthen the skin's barrier function and protect the skin from drying out. Dry skin symptoms are relieved.
Healthy skin contains Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) which attract and bind in water to the outermost layers of skin, helping to prevent it from drying out and becoming scaly and rough. The NMFs present in skin include substances such as amino acids, inorganic salts, Lactate and Urea. The UreaRepair PLUS range replicates the natural composition of NMFs in healthy skin, giving dry skin the substances it needs for optimal hydration.
Why do I need a special moisturizer for my feet?
Our feet are particularly prone to dry skin which typically leads to problems such as calloused skin with corns and cracked heels. Wearing uncomfortable shoes can cause feet to develop pressure and friction marks. The skin on our feet is thicker than elsewhere on our bodies, which means it needs a rich and more intensive moisturizer.
How can I tell if I have dry skin, a skin condition or a skin disease?
You can find information about dry skin as well as conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis on this website. You can also take our skin test to find out more about your skin type and condition and how best to care for it. If you are still unsure, or concerned about your symptoms, we recommend you ask a pharmacist or dermatologist for advice.
