1
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

What it does: Buffering, Humectant, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Liked

Urea is also called carbamide and is the diamide of carbonic acid. In cosmetics, urea is used to hydrate the skin. It also provides exfoliation in higher concentrations.

As a humectant, urea helps draw moisture from the air and from deep within the skin. This helps hydrate your skin. Studies show urea is an effective moisturizer for dry skin conditions. 40% urea is typical in medications for treating eczema and other skin conditions.

Urea has the strongest exfoliation effect in concentrations higher than 10%. It is a keratolytic agent, meaning it breaks down the keratin protein in the top layer of skin. This helps remove dead skin cells and flaking skin.

In medicine, urea has been shown to help increase the potency of other ingredients, such as fungal treatments.

Humans and animals use urea to metabolize nitrogen-containing compounds. Urea is highly soluble in water. Once dissolved, it is neither acidic nor alkaline.

I am somebody with fungal acne and very dry skin. This is one of the few FA safe moisturizers I have used. Overall, this has been a solid moisturizer. However, it is pricey and packaging really needs to be updated or changed.

Pros:
-fungal acne safe
- lightweight; texture is between a cream and gel with very good spread- ability
- has 5% urea
-my skin has become considerably smoother and softer
- decent job at moisturizing my skin

Cons:
- feels too “siliconey” ; takes a while to absorb
- can sting sometimes because of high amount of urea. I found that it can be especially irritating when I have a damaged moisture barrier.
-PACKAGING!!! I used to experience a lot of product oozing out of the bottle but I think they’ve tried to fix that by not filling up the bottle as much. I haven’t experienced that issue in recent purchases. HOWEVER, the tube cap is SO easy to drop. It’s irritating when I’m trying to close the tube and the cap slips out my hands. Also, it’s hard to get product out of the tube without the tube key that you have to buy separately 🤦‍♀️ .
- pricey for 1.7 ounces. I have seen the price of this moisturizer increase significantly. As of January 2024, this product costs $28 for a 1.7 ounce tube. To put that into perspective, the Krave Beauty Oat So Simple Cream (FA safe) is 2.7 ounces for that same price.
