Review: Eucerin Dry Skin Replenishing Face Creme 5% Urea Plus Lactate

Company: Eucerin
Animal Testing: Personal research suggests they do not perform any tests on animals
Product Name: Eucerin Dry Skin Replenishing Face Creme 5% Urea Plus Lactate
Amount of Product: 50 mL or 1.7 FL. OZ.
Price: Between $15 & $18

What The Product Claims: Eucerin Replenishing Face Creme 5% Urea replenishes dry and very dry, tight facial skin. It is suitable for use under makeup or after shaving. Non-comedogenic (doesn't clog pores). Contains no added fragrance or colorants to minimize the risk of skin irritation and allergies. The  light, non greasy texture absorbs quickly, The cream provides instant hydration and reduces skin tightness. The skin feels smooth and supple.

I started using this cream a few days ago, and with extremely sensitive skin, I was half expecting to get hives from this product, but I haven't and I definitely don't feel like I will any time soon (I can usually feel an allergic reaction from a mile away). I am on acne medication which makes my skin extremely dry, and have not been  able to find a product yet that both hydrates well and doesn't feel heavy or sticky on my face. Until I tried this.

This is an AMAZING moisturizer. I have very dry patches in the crease of my nose, my chin, and around my mouth. I put this stuff on at night before my acne medication, and my skin is smooth and plump with hydration in the morning, whereas usually I would wake up with dry patches being even more dry than during the day. I use a lighter moisturizer during the day to keep some oily spots on my skin at bay, and if i need extra moisture I will put this on the patches that need it. It feels very light on my skin and absorbs well within 30 seconds.

Get To The Point...

What's To Love:
-lightweight
-absorbs quickly
-moisturizes better than anything I've ever tried
-Not tested on animals!
-Pretty well priced for a moisturizer, especially in Canadian currency

What's To Not:
-Nothing, everything about this product is amazing and is done exactly what is promised

Final Thoughts
This product does everything that it claims and I will be repurchasing this until my dying day. Very glad I picked this up on a whim, and very glad it cooperates with my crazy combination sensitive dry oily skin.

If you would like to know more about the very strong benefits of Urea, I would suggest Googling it. There is a bunch of information about how amazing urea is for the skin and how it locks in moisture, and I don't want to write anything on here and be inaccurate causing confusion.
