1. DESCRIPTION OF UREA:
Urea, also known as carbamide, is a key ingredient in skincare, especially valued for its moisture-binding properties. It is a natural substance found in the upper layers of the skin (epidermis) and plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration.
2. EFFECT OF UREA:
Urea works effectively in the upper layers of the skin by binding moisture and intensely hydrating the skin. This property makes it particularly valuable for dry and flaky skin conditions. Urea helps keep the skin soft and supple, and supports the natural shedding of dead skin cells, leading to a smoother and healthier skin appearance.
3. USE OF UREA:
Urea is a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of skincare products, including facial tonics and exfoliants. It is particularly effective in formulations aimed at enhancing skin moisture and improving skin texture.
4. SKIN PROBLEMS THAT UREA IS EFFECTIVE AGAINST:
- Dry and flaky skin
- Skin requiring intensive moisture
- Roughness and unevenness of the skin
- Skin conditions requiring improved texture
