Wooo! As a very dry, eczema prone skin gal, Urea is my absolutely most favourite ingredient in moisturizers! The only thing that makes me feel like my skin has had a big drink of water. So glad you put it in a spotlight! 🤗 👏 The Eucerin urea stuff is great, I’m a big fan and always repurchasing. Never been satisfied with Clinique moisturizers. The Hada Labo perfect gel I found quite disappointing too, didn’t feel as moisturizing and I don’t get on with too much silicones especially on my face. They inevitably pill and feel suffocating. But the Hada-Labo premium lotion then Eucerin urea lotion on the face followed by Vaseline as an occlusive is my go to! Its getting me through hard water, freezing winter high heating combo I’m in right now 🥵🥶😤

Hi Andrea, I am always astonished how well you are organised and can do all these researches every day, making a video, editing it while still working and helping people, doing gym, meeting up with your mom, cooking...and all this in one single day...! i can barely do a single thing! How many hours do you sleep per day?

[@DrDrayzday]

I am pretty familiar with the ingredients at baseline, so i dont have to put much research in and i know the literature already. Sometimes if i have a CME article I am reading for work or go to an interesting talk it inspires me to do a video off of the topic, so it is sort of like a double win as far as the time input.

I need to try the Eucerin "Replenishing Face Cream" that you've recommended. I purchased a heavier version called "Rich Replenishing Face Cream" with 5% urea and ceramides, but it's super-duper greasy, probably one of the greasiest moisturizers that I've ever tried. :)

[@green1eyed1leopardes]

I have dry skin in the winter and my husband is prediabitic I am adding this video to my favorites for the list. I am doing well with with just the double cleans method at night and moisturize from straight out of the shower. That is self has helped my skin stay pretty "hydrated". I didn't realize this but your page became my unintentional New Years resolution. Revamping my skin care and not wasting my money on expensive "sexy" stuff and using sun screen daily. I am wearing make up less frequently now but still have fun on the weekends with it. I also do cosplay a few times a year at conventions so I am using my weekend make up sessions as a trial and error for the best way to apply sunscreen and make up. I have used an tinted sunscreen that actually make and amazing foundation with me I only need an under eye concealer because the one awful blemish I have is dark circles in my under eyes. Your use of mineral oil is spot on make up remover and no more wipes except when traveling and that's only if I can't get s small sample sizes of the products I have for traveling. I might just use left over medicane bottles and put the oils and cleansers in. Thoughts on that?

[@DrDrayzday]

i find transferring products to smaller bottles can sort of be a pain and a mess

One of your best videos to-date Dr Dray, if I you allow me to say so, as your explanations were particularly thourough and clear. Thank you ever so much for sharing your knowledge with us and even thinking about us Europeans when you recommend one particular product. Now I know why my dermatologist recommended the Eucerin body mosturizer for my atopic dermatitis. Thanks to your explanations, I am now really aware of how urea works and why it prevents me from scratching my skin off after each shower. I can now take a very short shower daily using a urea-containing Eucerin wash lotion and then apply the Eucerin body mosturizer ! What a change in my life ! No endless scratching session after each contact with water. No anguish at the simple idea of taking a shower ! I was intending to buy a Eurerin face mosturizer but now, thanks to you, I will refrain as I suffer from rosacea. Thanks again for your time and dedication. Have a nice week.

I have not used nail polish for several months to try and make my nails better and have been rubbing cereve healing ointment onto my nails and cuticles but my nails are still dry and ridgy. I’m going to try and use cream with urea and see if that works better could I use kerasil for my finger nails? Also I wanted to ask if it is ok to buff your nails to remove the ridges and make them a bit shiner and healthy looking? Thanks Brenda...you are so knowledgeable!

[@FamilyMembersOnly]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Urea is so overlooked by the beauty community. Seems people and companies have forgotten this incredible humectant/exfoliant. Even Dr. Kligman stated, "it sometimes happens in the enthusiastic search for new therapeutic agents that some old stand-by has been overlooked, whose luster has worn off, but which none the less may have some useful application in moments when the miracle drugs falter. In the world of topical therapy, urea is such a drug".

Hi Dr Dray! I just realized I’ve been following your channel for about a year. I’ve been hooked ever since I stumbled across the Walgreens video. I’ve become a more informed consumer thanks to your channel! It seems that with skincare products often you are paying for either pretty packaging or the name brand. This got me thinking, what about a video specific to discussing ingredients based on their price point? What factors make skincare ingredients more or less expensive? What ingredients might justify a higher price point based on its cost?

Thanks for this incredibly informative video, Dr. Dray! My question re: Urea is if there is anything we should avoid using it with. Since it is a penetration enhancer, it’s obviously great for things like ceramides (and maybe antioxidants?), but is it problematic when used alongside retinoids for instance? Does the penetrative effect still happen when you are layering a urea product with other products? And are there any other ingredients that urea renders useless (or vice versa) due to issues like PH, formula stability, etc. Thanks again, Dr. Dray!

[@fayehofmann1]

Urea is the bomb! Eucerin’s Urea, HA & Sheabutter moisturiser (Hyalurea face cream) worked wonders for me. I tried so many creams including Clinique 72hr moisture surge,, the Ordinary and many others.

Yet another excellent concise and informative video - I could listen to you all night! I'm in the UK and have been using Eucerin products for a long time (we actually sell it in our pharmacy) and it's such a shame that it gets by passed for the 'sexier' (and usually horrifically more expensive) products. I just found a forgotten tube of the NMF so tried it again, I put a few drops of Hemi-squalane in there (not sure if that was okay, but made it easier to apply) and really felt that my skin was 'happy'. Also got the gold jar of gel (Hada Labo) you spoke about in another video and used it on my damp face after cleansing with water .... I was so shocked at how plumped and hydrated I felt as I normally have to pat dry immediately to avoid that horrible taut feeling as soon as I use water. Oh I so wish you were practising here in the UK, you have no idea how hard it is to find a dermatologist.

Do you have any recommendations for *shampoos or conditioners* with a beneficial urea percentage? The medicated shampoos sometimes dry and tangle my hair. I get itchy buildup on my scalp.

[@jumpback90]

Can't vouch for them personally, but Eucerin makes a urea shampoo and a leave-in scalp treatment. They don't list a urea percentage, but urea is second or third on the ingredient list. It's not part of Eucerin's US line (for some reason urea seems more popular overseas), but they're available from UK sellers who ship to the US (e.g. FeelUnique), Amazon UK, eBay, etc.

[@joannogas4391]

Hi Ana. If your scalp is itchy AND flakey, you may want to see a dermatologist. Mine told me my itch/dandruf was yeast gone wild. Yeast is naturally on our skin but if in excess, it's a problem. I was given a drying perscription "shampoo" which she told me to use like a treatment. That is, put it on your finger tips and masage it into the scalp only. Wait the perscribed time and rinse out. Then cleanse your strands with your favorite gentle shampoo. Condition ends as needed. This is working well for my scalp and my ultra fine, shoulder length color treated hair.

dr dray is just amazing i was took by the hyper of finding a moisturizer with ceramides since i do not find cerave products in my country...until i’ve watched this video and now i know exactly what to buy to help my skin barrier while taking roaccutane treatment thanks you so much ❤️ 🙏

[@janarae2252]

In Canada we have a brand called uremol. I use the 20% uremol on my feet and for the KP on my arms and find it very helpful. Thanks again for providing us with straightforward and scientifically based info. It really helps when navigating the skin care world!! 🤗

[@TheShadowBee]

Same!! It's miraculous stuff!

[@1foreverhopeful]

@Jana Rae @TheShadowBee Where do you buy it? I'm going on vacation up there soon. :)

[@TheShadowBee]

@@1foreverhopeful I just checked the packaging, and I think the one I use is actually called Dermal therapy (I think I've tried Uremol a while ago though, not sure if I liked it as much). I manage to find urea creams at pretty much every pharmacy I visit, so just check any that might be in your way! The ones I'm familiar with are Jean-Coutu, Familiprix, Pharmaprix, and Brunet. I think you're pretty sure to find something at any one of these, unless it's a really small store. I live in Québec though, I'm not sure how it is in other provinces.

[@1foreverhopeful]

@@TheShadowBee Thank you! I'm going to Whistler BC will be on the look out. Hope to visit Quebec someday.

[@TheShadowBee]

@@1foreverhopeful I haven't been yet, but BC is my dream destination :) hope you have a blast there!

Incredible number of research footnotes. Thank you.💗

[@alanxie3550]

Could you use the Eucerin body lotion on your face?

[@YooserYootube]

I used it and it irritated my face.

[@semilovelyheathen4156]

I love your passion & factual information. I’m gonna try some of these products to help me with my aging dry skin. Thanks for educating us. So glad I found your channel 💜

[@m.brantome2511]

Glad you did something on Urea, thank you! I’ve been using it on my body forever, it’s a very popular ingredient in German skincare with wide availability here. But I’ve got one question though: I have Rosacea type 1 on my cheeks, neck and décolleté, and I’d like to use this fabulous ingredient there, too. Is it advisable, or will it aggravate the condition even further? Thank you!

[@leander8840]

hey! Im from Germany too- what products would you recommend?

[@Mint-he5ok]

Thanks Dr. Dray! I’m diabetic and need help maintaining healthy skin. My feet heal very slowly and need special care to avoid any breaks in my skin. Urea is an important ingredient in my foot cream. 💗

[@BELDANDY13JUICE]

Hi Doc! First of all I want to thank you for making this helpful videos...just want to ask few things... 1. I have been using 10% urea moisturizer (brand is called URECARE) because my face became scaly and skin became elevated around the nose. forehead and nose became red only up to eyebrow level...didn't know if that was rosacea or Seborrheic Dermatitis...it disappeared after only 2days of using the said product.it stings a bit tho but is highly tolerable, that's how I bumped into your video, to know more about it. 2. Can i use it for a lifetime now? ( It is at 10%) because i love how it made my skin look "very hydrated"❤

[@rumystik]

Do you still use it?

[@nassrinpirnia4180]

I absolutely love your honesty and your passion in explaining.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks

[@quinnohn]

Dr. Dray, What were the names of the ingredients used as preservatives that are not actually the active ingredient urea? I couldn't find them in the description. Love your videos, thank you!

[@DrDrayzday]

they are there: Diazolidinyl urea Imidazolidinyl urea

[@cherealecormack]

Hi dr! I’ve binged your videos and ordered and started using these products- Am- Alba botanical acnedote (or Effaclar) Hada labo super plumping gel cream aveeno positively radiant Pm- Ultra gentle daily cleanser neutrogena Hada labo super plumping gel cerave pm moisturiser Differin Neutrogena rapid clear I also have a bottle of good genes. Where would you recommend in this regime I use this product? Thanks so much. I’ve learned so much from you already.

[@ShanGooFan]

I love urea! I use the HL Gokujyun perfect gel with urea and can definitely feel a difference in the smoothness of my skin (I had to stop using the HL super plumping gel cream because the preservative started to break me out). I love how great you are at explaining ingredient usage.

[@MNNoel]

Urea shampoo did wonders for my psoriasis in my scalp. Nothing helped as much, I suffered for months and used the sebamed urea shampoo and got instant relief. Only thing is it has fragrance,so I'm going to try one of the products you mentioned here, thank you for the wonderfully informative videos!

[@vickytime3855]

Loving this kind of content about underrated ingredients!! Thanks so much for all the work you put into your videos. I have learned so much from your channel. 💙💙💙

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for watching!

[@susangendron6927]

Truly appreciative of your profound presentation of multi-faceted Urea higher concentration benefits!!!

[@datgreekgal]

Dr Dray, did you hear about Deciem's owner loss? I mean it may sound dumb, but Ι΄m happy to see you suggesting one of his products... I feel devastated... :'(((

[@LedaSBotelho]

I'm so thankful I found your channel and stuck to it. I was telling my husband that you have done my skin so much of a better job than my actual dermatologist which I tend to switch very soon. If only you were in Massachusetts!!! 😭😭😭 Than we could go to whole foods afterwards and eat up their whole entire veggie buffet. Happy Monday!!! Thank you! On the search for urea products for my seborrheic dermatitis and keratosis pilerous. Thank you so much again!!!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks Ms Leda!
