Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream with Urea for Dry Skin, Unscented

Consider this an early report, but early results are certainly impressive.For three years, I have had a condition the leaves some fingers, near the tips, red, dry, pealing, and cracking. The cracks are very painful and require Bandaids just to keep the pain from being distracting. My physician thought it was eczema, even though it did not itch, and prescribed a steroid cream, they a strong steroid, and then an even stronger steroid. That seemed to reduce the problem on some fingers, leaving some as bad as ever. I tried creams, petroleum jelly, coconut oil, and even mink oil. Nothing did much good at all.I found some references to this product. I have now used it for three days,. All but one painful crack have disappeared, and the last is almost healed. There has been some pealing, but with a big difference. Before, pealing skin left the underlying skin that quickly cracked and became raw.. This pealing leaves intact skin, softer than before. The skin seems somehow tougher. Not harder, just less vulnerable. Smooth but not soft. And unlike every other cream, lotion and oil, this product actually is absorbed. Everything else refused to penetrate and left excess to be wiped off.I believe the key factor to be the urea. I once had thick, tough, dry areas on my heels, and a urea-based product pealed the hard skin and left it soft and well. Otherwise, all I know right now is that this product has made an immediate and dramatic difference and shows every sign of eventually clearing it up. I expect it will be needed continuously or from time to time, but it's a small price to pay after three years of an annoying condition.

20% Urea. I have so so many foot problems, including heel dryness/cracking and a patch of eczema. After using prescription hydrocortisone with little effect, my podiatrist suggested that I add 20% urea cream to the mix and cover it with plastic or something a few nights each week. I tried to find the cream in my local stores (Walgreens, CVS, Whole Foods) to no avail, the closest was a 10% urea cream at Walgreens. I ordered some gel socks along with this cream. I have been using toeless gel socks similar to these: http://www.amazon.com/Oppo-Medical-Heel-Socks-Blue/dp/B0048F27ZO/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1441808313&sr=8-6&keywords=gel+socks+heel (but I bought at Bed Bath & Beyond) in the past, which is good for the heel but doesn't cover the rest of the foot with gel, and my eczema was on the side of my foot. I ordered these gel socks to try which do cover the side of the foot with gel: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O81S77A/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F5KE8VM/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2.This cream goes on so smooth, you only need a little bit. You can immediately feel that it's going to help. The order comes with 2x 2-ounce bottles, and from my searches this is a great price compared to other similar products. After the first night using it, I could tell the difference the next morning, my skin was softer and my heel was healing. The gel in the socks helps to hold in the moisture to aid in the healing.I will admit, I have not yet used this product enough to say whether it will make my eczema and heel cracking go away, and I know it is unlikely to be permanent. But I"m glad to have found a 20% urea product that is affordable!

This cream is a bit strange. After about two months it turned into a strange consistency. I wanted to like a lot but product seems to last about one month; after this consistency changes and does not absorb as well. Instead try Wella's Skin Food. No constancy change and moisturizes wonderfully.

I bought this because I developed Hand Foot Syndrome as a side effect from chemotherapy. It's a painful condition which also makes your feet extremely dry, peel and sometimes crack. Urea is the ingredient that is recommended to help with this. It did help, I used often on my feet with cotton socks and it made a difference. I did not like it on my hands because it goes on very "chalky feeling". A friend of mine did not mind this but for me I had to wash it off. I understand that the ingredient that makes it so effective (Urea) is also what makes it have that chalky feel (science) so if you have severely dry hands and feet, I would try this despite the chalky feeling. The price can not be beat either. I like that they are recommended by The People's Pharmacy show on NPR.

I didn't care for this cream. I bought it because I read that urea can help with spider veins. This didn't seem to do anything, so I'm thinking I either need to use something higher strength, or it just doesn't work. Once it was apparent that this wouldn't help, I began using it as a hand cream. It did not make my skin soft, it just left an unpleasant, sort of chalky but sticky film on my skin that just wouldn't rub in. It just sat on my skin until the next time I washed, at which point it would become a slippery mess and come off. I don't understand the good reviews of this cream, that film is unbearable. I like the regular version of udderly smooth, but this stuff is terrible

Leaves my sking silky smooth A must have for dry skin

The only reason I did not give this a 5 is because it makes my hands feel a bit tacky for a short while after I apply it. It does work well, though, and I'm excited to see if it makes a difference through a Kansas dry winter.

No scent, absorbs quickly, isn’t greasy and protects my hands all day. I work in a hospital and wash my hands constantly. I love this hand lotion because it moisturizes, keeps my hands soft and it isn’t expensive.
