Extreme Dry Skin Relief Face Cream 5% Urea. 1.7 Fluid Ounces (50mL)

The Sebamed Extreme Dry Skin Relief Face Cream with 5% Urea is a highly effective skincare product designed to provide intense moisture and relief for those with extremely dry skin. With 5% urea as one of its key ingredients, this face cream helps to restore the skin’s natural moisture balance while also aiding in exfoliation to remove dry, rough patches. Urea is a humectant, meaning it draws moisture into the skin, making it ideal for dry, flaky, or cracked skin. The cream has a light, non-greasy texture, which absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky residue. It’s great for those who need hydration but don’t want to feel weighed down by a heavy cream. It’s particularly beneficial for sensitive skin as it is formulated without fragrances or harsh chemicals, which can irritate already delicate skin. The pH-balanced formula (5.5) matches the skin’s natural pH, supporting its barrier function and helping prevent further dryness or irritation. The 1.7-ounce (50mL) bottle is convenient for both daily use at home and on the go, and a little goes a long way, making it quite cost-effective despite the higher price point for specialized skincare. While the cream is highly effective for dry skin, users with extremely sensitive skin should patch-test first, as the urea content can be strong for some people, especially those with eczema or other skin conditions. Additionally, though it’s excellent for hydration, those with more oily or combination skin may find this cream a bit too rich for their face. Overall, the Sebamed Extreme Dry Skin Relief Face Cream is a top-tier choice for intense moisture and skin barrier support, especially for individuals dealing with chronic dryness. Its gentle, hydrating formula makes it a trustworthy option for those seeking long-term relief from dry, irritated skin.

I have very sensitive skin, and as I've grown into adulthood (25) my skin has become an incredibly dry nightmare with patches of flaky and red skin. It makes it impossible to wear makeup because it clumps in those spots and makes the dryness even more noticeable. I've tried dozens upon dozens of lotions, creams, repair serums... Nothing works. Except this magic-in-a-jar Sebamed cream. I have been using this for just 5 days now and it's already completely changed my face. NO dry flakes, decreased redness, softness returned to my face. Pros: -It actually works on healing and repairing your skin, completely changed my face!! -No perfumes or additives that would aggravate sensitive skin. -You only have to use a small amount, and it doesn't feel cakey or sticky once it soaks in -Very decently priced compared to other creams $60+ that claim to be a miracle and don't work for crap -The container feels soft and since it's a tub it makes it easy to get the exact amount of product you want, making it last longer since you're not wasting extra pumps. Cons: -I've never used urea cream before... But this stuff smells WEIRD. Luckily the smell dissipates once it soaks into your skin. -There's a grainy texture to the cream which feels like it has little beads in it, which I could definitely do without.

I've had sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin since I was 9 years old. I'm also Scandinavian-pale, so every single blemish or irritated area shows up vividly and stays visible for a very long time, even after healing. Having been into skincare for about the last 10 years or so (I'm 28 now) I felt that I had a pretty decent handle on my skin; it was still troublesome, but not the trainwreck it was in the past when I knew nothing about the chemistry behind how skincare works. I picked this up for the urea content because the winter was making my skin too reactive to the usual acids I use to exfoliate and I have very "active" skin that tends to kind of stickily hold onto itself instead of shedding off properly with big huge pores (genetic). It can be oily, flakey, and grainy all at the same time, even when I'm using very gentle PH balanced cleansers and layering hydrators on it. The effectiveness of this simple formula is top-notch. The moisture actually sinks into my skin instead of sitting on top of it, and I've been able to cut out my other actives without suffering clogged pores and breakouts. My skin barrier feels so much better and more bouncy, and while I still produce a lot of oil it's on a more manageable scale. It dried matte enough to not interfere with any makeup application and I'd put the texture somewhere between a light cream and a gel. It's definitely not thick and stodgy. The smell is slightly powder-ish but pretty inoffensive in my opinion. I like it better than the Hada Labo Plumping Cream and Premium Lotion, which were some of my previous go-tos. I have fine hair and an oily scalp, so I want to try the urea shampoo in this line as well and see if it does a better job than my dandruff shampoo!

This is such an incredible moisturizer. I have sensitive, sun-damaged skin with barrier issues, and really struggle to find moisturizers that don't leave my skin red and tight feeling within 10 minutes. This stuff was miraculous for me. Despite it feeling quite light, I could actually feel it working its magic on my skin, and my skin looked more calm and hydrated than it has in years. BUT... it smells absolutely AWFUL. So awful that I just can't bring myself to buy it again. It's like some strange mixture of baby powder and grandma's perfume on steroids, and it lingers. I don't know why they felt the need to add such a strong perfume to a product like this, but if you're sensitive to strong smells, I can't recommend it. I hope they take it out at some point, because this stuff would just rock without it!

this is very moisturizing, feels like it really absorbs into my skin and doesn't just sit on top then wash away like some other moisturizers, but it very strongly perfumed, i've gotten used to it and don't notice it after 5 mins
