How does the ingredient of the medicine work?
Urea provides the skin with more moisture and enables it to retain it for longer. As a result, the upper horny layer softens and the skin becomes smoother and softer. The addition of urea also enables other active ingredients to penetrate from the surface of the skin into the deeper layers, thus enhancing their effect.
