Flexitol 10% Urea Cream for Dry and Cracked Skin

 

You can rely on Flexitol 10% Urea Cream to provide effective relief for dry, rough, and cracked skin. This therapeutic moisturiser contains 10% urea, a naturally occurring compound that helps restore your skin's moisture balance and smoothness.

The 150g tube provides long-lasting treatment for areas prone to dryness, particularly your feet, heels, elbows, and knees. This urea cream works by drawing moisture into your skin whilst gently removing dead skin cells that contribute to roughness and scaling.

 

How Urea Works to Restore Your Skin

 

Urea functions as both a humectant and a keratolytic agent in this formulation. As a humectant, it attracts and retains moisture from the surrounding environment, helping to keep your skin hydrated for longer periods.

The keratolytic properties mean urea helps break down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily. This dual action helps reveal smoother, softer skin underneath whilst preventing the build-up of thick, dry patches that can become uncomfortable or unsightly. You'll find this particularly beneficial for areas like your heels and elbows where skin tends to become thicker and more resistant to regular moisturisers.

 

Who Benefits from 10% Urea Concentration

 

This cream suits you if you experience persistent dry skin that doesn't respond well to standard moisturisers. The 10% urea concentration makes it particularly effective for moderate to severe dryness, including conditions like xerosis or rough, scaly skin patches.

You may find this treatment especially helpful if you have:

• Dry, cracked heels or feet
• Rough, scaly patches on elbows or knees
• Skin that feels tight or uncomfortable due to dryness
• Areas where regular moisturisers provide insufficient relief

The cream works well alongside other skin care products in your routine, though you should allow it to absorb fully before applying additional treatments.

 

Why Choose a Targeted Dry Skin Treatment

 

Unlike basic moisturisers, this therapeutic cream addresses the underlying causes of persistent dryness. The urea concentration is specifically formulated to penetrate deeper into your skin layers, providing more substantial and longer-lasting hydration than standard lotions.

Regular use helps restore your skin's natural barrier function, reducing water loss and improving overall skin texture. You'll notice gradual improvement in skin smoothness and comfort, with continued use helping to prevent the return of severe dryness.

 

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

 

This cream is suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age. You should store it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain its effectiveness.

The tube design allows for hygienic application whilst protecting the cream from contamination. You can use this treatment as part of your daily skincare routine, applying it to clean, dry skin as needed.
