My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The product Isdin Ureadin Ultra 10 Lotion is primarily intended for very dry, rough, or flaky skin. The Isdin brand offers a moisturizing and keratolytic solution that is ideal for individuals suffering from chronic dry skin, keratosis pilaris, or thickened areas of the body (elbows, knees, legs). The formula, rich in moisturizing and emollient agents, aims to restore the skin barrier and improve skin texture. My expert opinion is that this lotion effectively meets the needs of skin lacking water and lipids, while promoting cell renewal.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Urea (10%) : A powerful moisturizing and keratolytic agent, urea attracts water to the stratum corneum and promotes the elimination of dead cells. It improves skin suppleness and reduces roughness.
• Panthenol Also known as pro-vitamin B5, it soothes, repairs, and strengthens the skin barrier, thereby reducing feelings of discomfort and tightness.
• Lactic Acid This alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) gently exfoliates, accelerates cell renewal, and optimizes the penetration of other moisturizing active ingredients.

The synergy of these ingredients gives the lotion remarkable effectiveness on severe dryness and uneven skin texture.

Tips and Application Ritual

I prefer to apply this lotion in the evening, on clean, dry skin, focusing on the driest or thickest areas. It can be used daily. I recommend avoiding immediate combination with other powerful exfoliants (retinoids, strong acids) to limit the risk of irritation. It is compatible with simple moisturizers or non-comedogenic vegetable oils.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

The strengths of this lotion lie in its moisturizing effectiveness, its ability to smooth the skin, and restore skin comfort. One drawback: the presence of fragrance and potential allergens, which may not be suitable for very sensitive or atopic skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent option for dry to very dry skin, but should be used with caution by those with allergies.
