About Urea [10%]
Indications of Urea [10%]
Urea [10%] is a topical emollient/keratolytic preparation used for the following indications:
Established/Common Uses
- Moisturizing and softening dry, rough skin (xerosis)
- Ichthyosis vulgaris and other hereditary hyperkeratotic skin disorders
- Mild to moderate hyperkeratotic skin conditions such as keratosis pilaris and calluses
- Dry, scaly skin associated with eczema or dermatitis (adjunct, as a moisturizing base)
Adjunct/Supportive Use
- As an adjunct emollient alongside prescribed topical therapy to improve skin hydration and enhance penetration of co-applied agents
At this lower (10%) concentration, Urea [10%] functions predominantly as a humectant/emollient rather than an aggressive keratolytic (higher concentrations such as 40% are used for more intensive keratolysis, e.g., thickened nails, and are not covered by this entry).
