“Eucerin UreaRepair Plus 5% Urea Replenishing Body Wash 400ml is an effective, gentle body wash formulated for very dry, rough skin.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (carnitine, cocamidopropyl betaine, hydrogenated coconut acid, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
