Just wanted to share quickly some urea moisturizers I've been using. Urea is absolutely wonderful ingredient and I will not give it up ever. No doubt I will try more urea moisturizers in the future! The swatches don't show the texture or consistency all that well but here they are in case they are useful. I'll try to describe them a bit.
L300 Intensive Moisture Body Lotion
Doesn't disclose the amount of urea but it is the second ingredient so I guess 5-10 %. Feels effective and quite cheap, the bottle is around 6 € / 400 ml. Feels like a gel lotion. Feels light, but takes a while to dry, still leaves a film on skin. Haven't used on face. Great for legs etc for large surface areas because it is so easy to spread and the film is not bothersome then.
SVR Xerial 10 Lait Corps
10 % of urea. Excellent day time hand/face moisturizer. Feels creamy, but absorbs reasonably fast, no clear film or oiliness. About 18 € / 400 ml. I bet this would be great for legs etc as well, easy to spread as well, even though the consistency is creamy, it is light. I would rather use this one than L300 one.
SVR Xerial Fissures et Crevasses
5 % of urea. Feels a bit heavier and clearly oilier than SVR Xerial 10 Lait Corps. Feels very effective on dry hands and dry tretinoin face. Leaves skin shiny and a bit oily, doesn't dry down. Not good under makeup but great night time moisturizer. About 10 € / 50 ml.
Eucerin Urea Repair Replenishing Face Cream
5 % of urea. Great face moisturizer. Feels light, absorbs well, doesn't leave a film or pill. Again a lotion consistency, not creamy at all. Around 13 € / 50 ml. Very elegant. Great for combination skin type. Not super moisturizing.
