Flexitol

Flexitol 10% Urea Cream is a dry skin-relieving product from the collection of creams, balms, and gels available from the same brand.

This cream contains 10% urea, which is an important natural moisturising substance made in the body.

Urea improves skin hydration by drawing water from the deeper dermal layers to the upper layers of the skin and keeping it there for longer. This effectively improves how much moisture the skin can hold.

In people with dry skin conditions, urea may be deficient. Supplementing the body’s urea supply, via a cream or balm, can have a moisturising and softening effect on dry, rough skin. For more creams with this ingredient, click here.

This cream combines urea with emollient ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, lanolin, and paraffin oil. These help to protect the skin by supporting the skin’s natural barrier against excessive moisture loss.

With regular use over time, Flexitol 10% Urea Cream helps the skin retain more moisture and appear softer and healthier.

It can be used for general skin care on the body or, like some Flexitol products, exclusively on the feet.

Flexitol Heel Balm is a rich, moisturising formula for use on dry and cracked heels - a common problem for people in the colder winter months.

Its list of ingredients includes urea, which is produced naturally in the body but is often lacking in people with a dry skin condition.

The urea in Flexitol Heel Balm assists the outer skin to draw more moisture from the deeper skin layers, trapping water and helping to eliminate cracked, fissured, and calloused skin. The emollient base also helps to reduce water loss from the feet, making the skin there look and feel smoother, suppler, and softer.

Designed for regular use, its highly concentrated formula nourishes the skin and helps you see results in as a little as a few days.

This balm is safe for use by people who are prone to the risk of diabetic ulceration. It is also effective in preventing blisters on areas of the feet that are especially prone to blistering.
