Key ingredients include urea for intensive hydration, softening hardened skin, breaking down excessive keratin, preventing flaking, smoothing rough skin texture, and supporting the skin barrier function. Niacinamide helps reduce the visibility of enlarged pores, soothes irritation, strengthens the protective skin barrier, improves skin hydration, regulates sebum production, and counteracts acne and redness.

Its key benefit is gently exfoliating and smoothing hardened skin while simultaneously restoring the skin barrier. A potential caveat is the high concentration of urea, which may require patch testing for highly sensitive individuals. The gel features a silky texture and combines the power of 30% urea with soothing niacinamide to renew, comfort, and refine skin on the body, hands, feet, and even the scalp.

For best results, apply once or twice daily to affected areas. For initial use or sensitive skin, start with once daily or every other day and adjust based on skin tolerance.
Can this product be used on my face?
Yes, it can be used on the face, but with caution. Due to the high urea concentration, it is recommended to patch test first and use sparingly on facial skin, especially if you have sensitive facial skin.
What is the role of Urea in this product?
Urea is a key ingredient that helps to hydrate the skin intensely, soften hardened and callused skin, break down excess keratin, and support the skin's natural barrier function, preventing flaking and smoothing texture.
What does Niacinamide do in this formula?
Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, helps to soothe irritation and redness, strengthen the skin's protective barrier, improve hydration, and can help regulate sebum production and reduce the appearance of pores.
How long does it take to see results?
Many users report feeling smoother and more comfortable skin from the first application. Significant improvements in roughness and calluses typically become noticeable within one to two weeks of consistent use.
Can I use this product on broken skin?
It is generally not recommended for use on open wounds or severely broken skin. This product is designed for dry, rough, and callused skin. If you have significant skin breaks, consult a healthcare professional.
Is this product suitable for children?
This product is formulated and tested for adult use. For children's specific skincare needs, it is best to consult with a pediatrician or dermatologist.
Troubleshooting
Product causes mild stinging or redness upon initial application.
This can occur due to the high concentration of urea. Perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin first. Reduce frequency of application to every other day or a few times a week until skin becomes accustomed, then gradually increase use. Ensure skin is not broken or severely irritated before application.
Skin feels sticky after application.
Apply a smaller amount of product. Allow adequate time for the gel to absorb before dressing or applying other products. Ensure you are not over-applying the product to the treated area.
No noticeable improvement in dryness or roughness after several weeks.
Ensure consistent daily application as directed. Check if you are using enough product for the affected area. Verify that the product has not expired. Consider if other environmental factors or underlying skin conditions might be contributing to the dryness.
Product texture seems different than expected.
Check the batch number and expiry date. Ensure the product has been stored correctly. Contact customer service if you suspect the product may be faulty or has been compromised.
