Lipikar Urea

Lipikar Urea is a topical dermatological product, primarily a body lotion or cream, developed and manufactured by La Roche-Posay. Its key active ingredient is urea, typically at a concentration of 10%, though other concentrations like 30% exist. It is formulated with additional moisturizing and soothing components such as shea butter and allantoin. The product is designed to intensely hydrate, exfoliate, soften, and smooth dry, rough, flaky, and bumpy skin. It works by improving the skin's moisture barrier function and providing long-lasting hydration. While often marketed as a skincare product, its active ingredient, urea, has well-established therapeutic properties, including humectant, keratolytic, and skin barrier-enhancing effects, making it relevant for various dermatological conditions. It is being investigated in clinical trials for its use in conjunction with treatments for actinic keratoses to improve tolerability and efficacy.
