Ideal consistency, it doesn’t run off the skin but isn’t too thick when applied. It absorbs quickly. Of course, because it’s an intensive moisturizer it leaves the skin a little sticky, but I wouldn’t say it’s a problem. The scent is neutral, it reminds me of cleanliness.
I used this lotion twice a day for 30 days to treat my keratosis pilaris on my right arm. I applied the product right after showering in the mornings and evenings. Along with this product I used Frank Body – Glycolic Body Scrub as a mechanical body exfoliant for 3 days a week. After the shower scrub, I used SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum as a chemical exfoliant. And finally, after the serum was absorbed, I used Eucerin as a moisturizer.
Urea (Carbamide) is a well-known natural ingredient. Urea is keratolytic, which means it helps the skin shed dead skin cells, making it smooth again, and it has anti-itch and anti-microbial properties. As a result, it should improve the skin’s natural exfoliation and soothe and smooth the skin’s surface.
Unlike BHA and AHA acids, urea is a substance naturally produced by the skin, making it well-tolerated even by dry and sensitive skin.
My skin has never been particularly sensitive, and I have never had any problems using chemical exfoliants like AHA or BHA acids. I still find that urea is somehow much gentler on my skin.
In more detail, it might make sense to use a product that contains urea as a regular moisturizer because it is gentler on the skin.
This product is another lotion containing urea because I previously tested Eucerin Roughness Relief lotion. Eucerin Roughness Relief was not the most effective product for my skin in treating keratosis pilaris. However, during that 30-day test period, i only used 2 exfoliant products which were First Aid Beauty body scrub and Roughness Relief.
This time, in addition to the body scrub, I used Some By Mi serum as a chemical exfoliant, which I believe explains the better result compared to the first test.
Using these three products I got great results in treating keratosis pilaris, kp bumps significantly reduced and the redness and dryness of the skin disappeared completely.
Eucerin Complete Repair is an excellent moisturizer as part of a keratosis pilaris skincare routine. I don’t think there is just one product that would treat keratosis pilaris effectively, which is why I recommend using at least a mechanical exfoliator (body scrub) and possibly some serum for the best results, at least this is my own experience.
As a moisturizer, it is one of the best and most pleasant (composition + scent) products I have used, it is lighter than CeraVe’s SA Cream but does not lose its moisturizing properties.
The price varies, I have to say that it is a bit unclear that Eucerin has so many different named similar urea products. This time I used urea lotion which contains urea 10%, because I found it at a good price in my local supermarket. However, most of their products include 5-10% urea, and when I looked at the ingredients all the products are pretty similar.
Great product, I will continue to use it at least as long as it lasts. I will probably buy another similar product from them next since there are plenty of them lol.
Products used in this test:
I achieved excellent results in treating keratosis pilaris by combining with a body scrub, chemical exfoliant serum, and Eucerin Urea Repair PLUS 10% Urea Lotion. This routine significantly reduced KP bumps, eliminated redness and dryness, and provided smooth, hydrated skin.
