Cetaphil Pro Urea 10% Intensive Regenerating Foot Ointment 100 ml

Cetaphil Pro Urea Intensive Regenerating Foot Ointment recognizes the needs of extremely dry and rough skin. Urea is a component of the skin's natural moisture retention system and is able to bind water for a long time. Dryness is reduced in the long term and the natural skin barrier is stabilised by valuable lipids.  Cetaphil® PRO Urea Regenerating Intensive Foot Ointment:

- Daily care of dry and cracked foot
- Natural moisture complex of urea & glycerine for a particularly deep and long-lasting effect
- Without fragrances, odourless
- Also for sensitive skin, clinically tested, also for diabetes

An intact skin barrier offers protection against external influences. The so-called horny layer has a very special task: it prevents irritating substances (e.g. dirt, pollen or bacteria) from penetrating the skin and reduces moisture loss. You can think of the horny layer as a wall of bricks that is held together by lipids (mortar) to bind the moisture in the skin. Problem Moisture loss The nature and moisture content of the skin is basically dependent on genetic factors.

However, environmental influences can greatly alter the moisture content and attack the lipid layer (mortar). The protective horny layer (wall) becomes brittle and the skin loses moisture. It becomes dry, cracked and brittle. What helps the skin Anyone suffering from dry skin should care for it consistently and regularly. Using specific care products can help to restore the skin's protective function. Active ingredients, such as urea (urea) or glycerine, are moisturising factors that are able to store water in the skin for a long time. Valuable lipids strengthen the natural protective function. The care products can be structured as oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions*.

The lipid content can also vary. In principle, the higher the lipid content, the more intensively the lotion or cream provides care.
* O/W emulsions superficially balance the moisture content of the skin and are easy to spread. W/O-emulsions balance the skin's lipid and moisture requirements and form a rich protective layer that provides the skin with lasting protection against dehydration.

The special feature of Cetaphil® PRO Urea: Thanks to the rich formulations, a particularly deep and long-lasting effect is achieved. For a pleasantly relaxed and healthy skin feeling.
