Medicine Description urelia-50 40 ML
Urelia 50 is a medication that combines lactic acid and urea, both of which play critical roles in skin hydration and exfoliation. Lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), functions as a keratolytic agent, effectively breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells. This process facilitates the removal of scales and promotes the turnover of skin cells, which is essential for treating conditions characterized by hyperkeratosis. Urea, on the other hand, is a natural moisturizing factor that enhances water retention in the skin. It not only helps in maintaining skin hydration but also softens the stratum corneum, thereby improving overall skin texture. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to restore the skin barrier, alleviate dryness, and enhance the skin’s smoothness and elasticity.
