Pregnancy interaction

• This mix is only for use on the outside of the body, and it doesn't get into the bloodstream very much.
• Usually safe to use during pregnancy on minor areas like heels, elbows, or thicker skin.
• Don't use it on skin that is fractured, bleeding, or badly wounded, as this may make it easier for urea and lactic acid to get into the skin.
• Lactic acid (AHA) might irritate the skin of pregnant women who have sensitive skin.
• Always talk to a doctor before using it for a long time or on a broad region.

FAQs for Medicine
 

Q1: What is this cream for?
It helps with dry skin, cracked heels, calluses, corns, keratosis, rough skin, and hyperkeratosis.

Q2. Is it safe to use every day?
Yes, but start with once a day, and if that works, move up to twice a day.

Q3. Does it get rid of dead skin?
Yes. Urea and lactic acid gently remove dead skin that is thick and hard.

Q4. Is it safe for people with diabetes to use?
Yes, however, they shouldn't put them on ulcers, sick regions, or deep cracks without talking to a doctor first.

Should only be used by kids over 12 years old unless a doctor says otherwise.

If you use it regularly, you should see results in 3 to 7 days.

 

Expert advice

• Apply to skin that is clean and dry to make sure it absorbs well.
• For best results, use at night and wear cotton socks over your heels.
• Don't use on cuts, infections, or open wounds that are bleeding.
• Don't put it between your toes to keep moisture from building up (which is important for diabetics).
• If you get irritated, cut back on how often you do it from twice a day to once a day.
• Don't let the treated areas get too much sun because lactic acid makes them more sensitive.

Side effects

• A little scorching or stinging
• Skin that is red
• Itching
• Peeling or flaking skin
• Skin that is sensitive gets irritated.
• Allergic rash or edema is rare.
• If your symptoms don't go away or get worse, stop using it and visit a doctor.

How It Works

• Urea (10%)
• Works as a keratolytic, which means it breaks down thick, dry, hard skin.
• It draws water into the skin and keeps it there, which keeps the skin moist.
• 10% Lactic Acid
• AHA, or alpha hydroxy acid.
• Promotes mild exfoliation, gets rid of dead skin cells, and makes skin feel smoother.
• Improves the skin's natural barrier, which makes it more hydrated.
• 10% Propylene Glycol
• It works as a humectant, which means it pulls moisture into the skin.
• Makes it easier for urea and lactic acid to be absorbed.
• 10% Liquid Paraffin
• Creates a barrier that keeps moisture in.
• It preserves and softens skin that is cracked.
• Overall, it: → softens thick skin → removes dead skin cells → deeply hydrates → fixes cracks → keeps skin from getting drier.
