How it works
Moisturex Cream with Urea, Lactic Acid, Propylene Glycol & Liquid Paraffin is a combination of four medications. Urea provides hydration to smoothen skin's texture and helps to reduce the buildup of dead skin cells. Lactic acid removes old dull cells on the skin's surface. Propylene glycol has humectant properties. It also works as a barrier to keep moisture in your skin. It helps other ingredients make their way into your skin. Liquid paraffin prevents moisture loss from the outer layer of skin.

What are the best ways to manage dry skin?
Some tips for managing dry skin include drinking plenty of water, avoiding long or hot showers, wearing sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) whenever going outside, using gentle soaps without scents, and applying a moisturizer immediately after bathing. Consulting a doctor is advisable to assess any underlying medical conditions that could be causing dryness.
What are the main symptoms of dry skin?
Itching is one of the most common signs of dry skin, which can worsen over time. This leads to the 'itch-scratch' cycle, where constant scratching exacerbates the itch and causes further irritation. Scaling, cracking, and peeling of the skin are other frequently reported symptoms. Severe cracking may lead to bleeding in some cases.
Does drinking alcohol cause dry skin?
Yes, excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to dehydration. When dehydrated internally, your body has less water available for moisturizing the skin, which could result in rough and flaky skin, increased sensitivity, and more frequent itching.
Can stress lead to dry skin?
Yes, stress can worsen your skin condition. It may exacerbate existing dryness and even lead to premature aging of the skin.
