Eczema Care - Hand and Foot Cream

Replenish Dry Hands and Feet with Eucerin Dry Skin
Eucerin launches Urea based hand and foot creams for dry skin

A staggering one in five of the UK population is affected by dry skin. Of those, 24% have dry areas on the feet, and over 50% have dry hands. Busy lifestyles and a variable climate mean that our hands and feet are constantly under stress, resulting in increasingly dry and rough skin that needs care and protection.

With this in mind, dermatological skincare expert Eucerin® has developed new Dry Skin Relief Hand Cream with 5% Urea, and Dry Skin Relief Foot Cream with 10% Urea to complement its Dry Skin range of creams, lotions and wash products The Eucerin Dry Skin range now provides solutions for dry skin from head to toe. Research shows that people with very dry skin lack the normal levels of the skin's own natural moisturising factor (NFM) Urea, which is needed to keep the skin hydrated and healthy-looking. The different concentrations of Urea in Eucerin Dry Skin products helps replenish this essential skin component and help support the skin's natural moisture levels.

By applying Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Hand Cream with 5% Urea, moisture levels in the skin will be replenished. The combination of 5% Urea and 10% Glycerin provides long-lasting moisturisation to leave hands feeling soft and smooth with reduced roughness. Thanks to its oil-in-water formulation, the cream is easily absorbed, and can be applied to the hands as frequently as necessary. Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Hand Cream with 5% Urea is available exclusively from selected Boots stores and retails at £7.49 for 75ml.

Feet are prone to developing hard and dry skin due to the high demands placed upon them daily. Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Foot Cream with 10% Urea helps reduce hard skin and calluses whilst also providing moisturisation for up to 24 hours. The oil-in-water emulsion is quickly absorbed into the skin. The combination of 10% Urea, Glycerin and lipids hydrate and leave the skin supple, whilst helping to reduce roughness, and protecting from further moisture loss. Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Foot Cream is available exclusively from selected Boots stores retailing at £9.75 for 100ml.

Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Hand Cream with 5% Urea and Eucerin Dry Skin Relief Foot Cream with 10% Urea are both fragrance and colourant free to minimise skin irritation, and are clinically proven to be suitable for dry skin.
