Product Information

Parabens are preservatives used to extend the shelf life of a product by preventing microbial contamination. But the use of parabens in cosmetics and skin care products is controversial because there is conflicting research on the potential health consequences of long term exposure to parabens. Bottom Line: A medium-weight cream with Natural Moisturizing Factors and barrier-strengthening ingredients to help repair and moisturize very dry skin.

Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream is said to be a “breakthrough” in repairing very dry skin, but we noticed that the formula contains many of the same ingredients as the other Eucerin creams. This Eucerin cream also helps with seborrheic dermatitis, as one reviewer shares, “This product has been the ONLY thing to help a bout of seborrheic dermatitis that literally came out of nowhere. It was so painful and nothing was working until I tried this, which almost fully cleared it up within 24 hours. Highly recommended!” Another Eucerin cream that contains urea as a key ingredient is the Advanced Repair Hand Cream. The formula includes several more ingredients that assist urea in replenishing the skin’s NMF, such as lactic acid, sodium PCA, and amino acids.

Both brands are made from the same German-based company, Beiersdorf Inc. It’s a global skin care company that also owns Nivea, Coppertone, and Labello.

The key ingredients in this formula include humectants like glycerin and panthenol, as well as emollients like mineral oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, and shea butter. Together, these ingredients soften and moisturize skin.

Overall, we think that the Eucerin creams are formulated well and should help to relieve skin dryness while also repairing the skin barrier.

Colloidal oatmeal has been used for centuries to soothe and heal the skin, as well as reduce inflammation and redness.

If you have sensitive skin, you will want to make sure that your balm is free of common irritants like fragrances, dyes, and parabens. There are many options out there—including those listed in this article—that are sensitive-skin-friendly, but a good rule of thumb is the fewer ingredients, the better. How We SelectedOne way that urea provides these benefits is because it’s a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF).

According to the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, avenanthramides are the principle polyphenolic antioxidants in oats that provide anti-inflammatory, anti-redness, anti-itch, and antihistamine effects when applied to the skin. Therefore, colloidal oatmeal is an excellent ingredient to help soothe redness and itchiness due to eczema.
