Common questions
Is Eucerin UreaRepair Replenishing Dry Skin Face Cream 5% Urea fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Eucerin UreaRepair Replenishing Dry Skin Face Cream 5% Urea contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Eucerin UreaRepair Replenishing Dry Skin Face Cream 5% Urea safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (oleic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate, glyceryl stearate). 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 UreaRepair Replenishing Dry Skin Face Cream 5% Urea suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains lactic acid, an exfoliating acid, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
