Common questions
Is Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 5% Hand Cream fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 5% Hand Cream contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain stearyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.
Is Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 5% Hand Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se); plant oils & butters (helianthus annuus seed oil). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 5% Hand Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains lactic acid, an exfoliating acid, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
