What is Urea?
Urea is an organic and incredibly high-capacity water-holding cosmetic ingredient that is an extremely important part of our skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). Formulated in high-tech laboratory environments in the cosmetic sector, this superior active substance acts as a moisture magnet in maintaining the ideal moisture balance of the skin. By ensuring water is held between skin cells, it instantly reduces the feeling of tension and dryness, supporting the natural elasticity of the skin. In Lacinia products, it is used with great care to provide the skin with deep and long-lasting moisture, smoothen hardened textures, and ensure a silky softness. This ingredient, produced synthetically for cosmetic purposes, is one of the most effective agents for quenching the skin's thirst.
Benefits in Skincare
Urea is one of the strongest and most reliable cosmetic ingredients supporting the natural moisture levels of the skin barrier. When used in higher proportions, it offers a purifying effect that gently removes hardness and roughness on the skin surface, while in lower concentrations, it works as an excellent daily moisturizer. It makes dry and dull skin look smoother, softer, more vibrant, and plump. It offers the comfort your skin needs with Lacinia's special formulas.
- Intensively and Deeply Moisturizes: Traps water from the air and lower layers of the skin into the upper layer, deeply moisturizing skin prone to drying and flaking.
- Softens Hardened Skin: Gently stretches rough, thickened skin texture that has lost its elasticity, providing a silky smoothness and instantly softening the skin.
- Refreshes and Revitalizes the Skin: With regular use, it reduces the matte and lifeless appearance caused by intense dryness, supporting the skin to look fresher, smoother, and brighter.
How to Use?
Intensive care creams and lotions containing urea provide the highest level of performance and results when applied to slightly damp skin where pores are open, especially after a bath or shower. In addition to the face area, it should be thoroughly massaged in circular motions into thickened body areas that need extra moisture and softening, such as hands, elbows, knees, and heels. Depending on the intensity of the formulation, it is highly suitable for daily use and can be safely added to morning and evening body care routines.
Who Can Use It?
It is extremely suitable for daily use by dry, very dry, dehydrated, and flaking-prone skin types. Anyone who has a feeling of tension in their skin and desires a more flexible, moist, and soft texture can easily prefer cosmetic formulations containing urea. It is ideal for those seeking perfect smoothness in body care.
Things to Consider
Products containing very high-concentration urea may cause a slight tingling sensation on sensitive, exposed, or newly epilated skin areas. Application to very thin-skinned areas such as the eye contour should be strictly avoided. The general reaction of the skin should be observed after application, and the frequency of use should be reduced in case of an unwanted reaction.
