Science & Benefits

Urea is an organic compound that plays a vital role in the skin's hydration and barrier function. It is a 'Hydro-Active' ingredient: at low concentrations ($<10\%$), it is a powerful humectant; at higher concentrations ($>10\%$), it becomes a keratolytic that dissolves dead skin. It is zero-comedogenic. For acne sufferers, Urea is a strategic inclusion because it improves skin permeability, allowing other acne-clearing actives to reach their target more effectively while keeping the barrier hydrated.
