Instituto Español Urea Foot Cream, Elbows and Hands - 150 ml

I really struggle with dry skin on my hands due to frequent washing (due to my job) and applying alcohol hand gel.My cuticles are always a mess leading to me picking at them. I had also noticed the back of my hands were looking a little ‘old’.I read online that Urea is a wonder ingredient for those who suffer from dry skin so I ordered this cream to cry.It’s quite a large tube - for some reason I was expecting it to be smaller. Not ideal for popping in a handbag so I have decided I will apply this at nighttime before bed instead and use my usual hand cream during the day.It has a pleasant fragrance - not overpowering. You don’t need to apply much cream - if you apply too much it can make my hands feel weirdly dry.There is no greasiness to the cream although it is thick.I rub this right into my cuticles and I must say it has been very effective! No bits of dry skin for me to pick at! The back of my hands feel soft and smooth. So glad to have finally found an excellent hand cream. Would love a more travel friendly size though.

So I’ve been using this product for 2 months now and I am absolutely amazed by the results! I’ve been using it on some thickened skin that had formed on the (top) joints of my two big toes due to poor-fitting footwear.I had tried many creams and oils to soften the skin but the results were minimal. I even resorted to skin-lightening creams at one point as the skin on my joints had become very dark from all the friction.This product is incredible and has dramatically improved and basically cured my skin issues. I apply this cream 3-4 times a week as I don’t think you need to apply it daily due to its exfoliating properties. I’ve tried a 40% urea cream on my thickened skin before and it didn’t work even HALF AS GOOD as this 20% cream!How I apply:- JointsAfter showering, I apply a thin layer and rub it in. After it’s been rubbed in, I apply a second (thicker) layer, rub it in slightly but not completely and I allow it to sit on my skin and absorb on its own. It absorbs fairly quick so you won’t be sat around for hours.- HeelsA thin(ish) layer is needed. Just rub a pea-sized amount into your heels before bed and give it about 2-3 days to see and feel the results. Sometimes it may feel chalky but this is due to its high urea content.- HandsI usually apply this before bed (3-4 times a week). It’s amazing for dry, crusty cuticles and is magical on your nails. It exfoliates dead skin around your nails and and leaves your nails looking shiny and healthy. My hands are now super soft and look amazing.- BodyI don’t apply this to my body every day. I apply this to my entire body 2-3 times a week but obviously feel free to apply it more frequently depending on your skin. I always apply this right after my shower whilst my skin is still wet / damp and allow it to soak in and air dry. Again, it doesn’t take long and you’re left with beautifully soft, moisturised skin.I can’t praise this cream enough! Remember: the chalky, drying feel doesn’t mean your skin is drying out. It’s just the urea doing it’s work. There have been times where I have applied this cream to an extra dry area (elbows), and the dead skin has flaked and peeled after 10 minutes. I just rub the area in a circular motion until the flaky skin has come off and I’m left with softer skin.I can’t wait to repurchase this again!

It is Urea cream. It's cheaper than most. Good purchase.

Non greasy, easily absorbs in to the skin, great for face, hands and feet. Been using it for a while now and I can see the difference, my feet are much smoother and softer and the big difference is my face, I had brown and red patches and very dry skin, this cream has made a huge difference as the blemishes are hardly noticeable, I have tried many different creams but this cream is unbelievable which I will keep stocked up. Great price and super quick delivery which is an added bonus.

Using this 3 times a day on very dry and cracked heels hard skin working well.

Very good

It softens the skin, but that's it.Don't expect a psoarisis miracle cure.

Good moisturising cream , lovely smell
