Urea is a naturally occuring molecule that is produced by protein metabolism and found in your urine. Actually most of the urea made is used as fertilizers for the ground. However it is also a natural in. In the cosmetic world its made synthetically of ammonia and carbon dioxide so don´t worry – it´s always vegan.

Urea is a naturally occurring substance found in the surface layer of our skin. It is an active part of our natural moisturizing factor ; NMF. Low levels of urea have been linked to a decreased water-binding capacity within the skin, which in turn leads to roughness, tightness, flaking, and irritation. In fact, those that suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema could have up to 80% less than someone with normal skin. NMF also decreases as we age.

SENSITIVE SKIN
• It improves dehydration by 50% by restoring NMF, which is fundamental in rebuilding the skin’s moisture levels.
• Nourishes the skin with lipids & ceramides and restores the balance of the microbiome.
• Supports and enhances skin barrier
• Supports the local natural defence of the skin.
• It helps reduce inflammation (lower cycles of inflammation = fewer flare-ups.)
• Maintains the skin’s pH balance.
• It helps to soothe itchy skin.
• Treats rough skin

FAGE SKIN
• It rebuilds the skin by regulating the cell cycle.
• The skin can defend itself from environmental exposure
• Helps strengthen the dermis
• Prevents loss of elasticity and firmness and repairs damage.
• Reverses sun damage and premature ageing.
• It stimulates the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which can help improve the skin’s overall appearance. It rebuilds the skin by regulating the cell cycle.
• Dehydrated skin creates horizontal lines, leading to deep-seated wrinkles if not treated correctly.
• Neutralises free radicals as it works as an antioxidant and can help to prevent premature ageing.

ACNE SKIN
• Fights acne. It improves the health of your skin by metabolising the antimicrobial peptide LL-37, which attacks acne-causing bacteria on the skin..
• Helps regulate good and bad bacteria on the skin (balances the microbiome)
• It reduces acne by exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and reducing inflammation.

PIGMENTED SKIN
• Urea can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover. Over time, this can lead to a brighter, more even complexion.
• Improves Civatte  (necks hyperpigmentation)
• 5% urea is effective in the treatment of solar lentigines

SKIN BOOSTER
Studies have shown that urea plays a key role in increasing skin permeability by facilitating the penetration of ingredients by acting as a vehicle for other components. Hence making the results optimal and longer-lasting
