Hydroxyethyl urea is used to help moisturize and soften skin. It helps increase the water content in the outermost layer of skin by drawing moisture from the environment and helping strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

Both hydroxyethyl urea and hyaluronic acid are humectants used to enhance skin’s hydration—which you choose is a matter of personal preference. Some may find hyaluronic acid to be more effective in achieving a plumping effect, while others may prefer the lightweight and easily absorbed nature of hydroxyethyl urea.

Yes, hydroxyethyl urea is safe for skin all skin types, including sensitive, and is unlikely to cause irritation or clog pores.

While hydroxyethyl urea is not specifically designed to treat wrinkles, its hydrating properties can make skin smoother, plumper and more supple—making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

Hydroxyethyl urea can be used every day as part of your personal skincare regimen.
