STRATUS PHARMACEUTICALS Urea 10% Lotion for Extremely Dry, Rough Skin — 8 oz, Fast‑Absorbing & Non‑Greasy

STRATUS PHARMACEUTICALS Urea 10% Lotion is a targeted, fast-absorbing moisturizer and gentle exfoliant formulated to hydrate and smooth extremely dry, rough, and scaly skin on hands, feet, elbows, and knees.

Designed for skin that needs more than a basic cream, this 8 oz lotion combines a clinical-strength 10% urea concentration with a non-greasy vehicle to draw and lock in moisture while softening thickened, flaky areas. The formula aims to improve texture and comfort when applied consistently, absorbing quickly so you can resume daily activities without a sticky residue. It’s tailored for localized concerns like cracked heels, rough elbows, and scaly patches rather than full-body application.

How does 10% urea improve very dry, rough skin?

Urea is a humectant that helps attract water into the skin’s outer layer and also loosens connections between dead skin cells to ease flaking. At a 10% concentration, it provides measurable hydration and mild exfoliation suitable for thicker, callused areas without the intense irritation higher strengths can cause.

• Attracts and retains moisture in the stratum corneum for better hydration.
• Softens hardened, rough patches by breaking up dead cell buildup.
• Balances moisturization with gentle exfoliation for smoother skin texture.

Will this lotion feel greasy or take long to absorb?

This lotion is formulated to absorb quickly and leave a non-greasy finish so you can use it on hands and feet throughout the day. The lightweight vehicle helps deliver active urea where it’s needed while reducing surface residue that can transfer to clothing or bedding.

• Fast-absorbing base suitable for daytime or nighttime use.
• Non-greasy texture reduces slip and transfer onto fabrics.
• Convenient 8 oz size for at-home and travel use.

How should I use it for best results on elbows, knees, and feet?

Apply to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, focusing on areas with visible roughness or scaling. For stubborn thickened patches, use after a warm shower when skin is more receptive, and consider occluding with socks or gloves overnight to boost penetration.

• Use on clean, dry skin; apply more frequently on severely dry spots.
• Best absorbed after a warm shower to enhance moisturization.
• Occlude with socks or gloves for overnight intensive treatment if needed.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin or everyday care?

The 10% urea concentration is targeted and generally well-tolerated for many people with persistent dry patches, but sensitivity varies. If you have very reactive skin, test a small area first and discontinue use if irritation occurs; consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.

• Formulated for persistent dry, rough, and scaly areas rather than general hydration.
• Patch-test recommended for those with known sensitivity or compromised skin barrier.
• Not intended as a replacement for medical treatments prescribed by a clinician.

Who is this for? STRATUS PHARMACEUTICALS Urea 10% Lotion is made for people struggling with chronic localized dryness—such as cracked heels, coarse elbows, and flaky knees—who need a stronger moisturizing and mild exfoliating solution than basic lotions provide. It suits users seeking a fast-absorbing, non-greasy option for targeted care, and those who prefer a clinically minded ingredient concentration to improve skin texture when used consistently. If you have highly sensitive, broken, or infected skin, consult a healthcare professional before use.
