Hydrophil Moisturizing Lotion: A Skin Hydration Solution Unlocking the Power of Urea
Composition
Hydrophil 10% Moisturizing Lotion: Each ml contains Urea BP
Description
Urea, with its gentle yet potent properties, is the key ingredient in Hydrophil Moisturizing Lotion. This keratolytic emollient works wonders for nails and skin by softening and hydrating them. Urea is known for its ability to dissolve the intracellular matrix, loosening the skin’s horny layer and shedding scaly skin. It also softens and hydrates the nail plate, aiding in the removal of devitalized tissue
Pharmacology
Urea plays a crucial role in skin health, being part of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It helps maintain skin hydration, protection, and overall efficiency. As a component of the stratum corneum, it regulates moisture levels by binding water molecules. With age, the skin’s NMF, including urea, decreases, making external supplementation beneficial
Indications
Hydrophil Moisturizing Lotion is a versatile skin emollient and lubricant. It is recommended for various conditions, including dry, rough skin, dermatitis, psoriasis, xerosis, ichthyosis, eczema, keratosis, keratoderma, corns, calluses, and damaged or ingrown nails. This lotion aids in debridement and promotes normal healing of hyperkeratotic surface lesions, especially when healing is hindered by local infection, necrotic tissue, or debris
For optimal results, apply at least twice daily to affected areas
