Dry skin can be induced by enviromental and individual factors. Characteritics of dry skin are thickness of horny layer, redness, itching and painful fissures. Invisible barrier function defects can be measured as an increased transepidermal water loss. Urea is one of the natural moisturizing factors. Eucerin 10% Urea lotion activelly rehydrates dry skin, decreases desquamation, redness and itching an is very important in adjunctive therapy for patients with various dermatologic disorders.
