Uriage Kératosane 30 Gel-Cream is a high-tolerance treatment that targets localized skin thickening and persistent calluses. This keratolytic solution helps restore a smooth, soft texture to extremely rough areas like elbows, knees, and the scalp.
What is Uriage Kératosane 30 Gel-Cream?
Uriage Kératosane 30 is a dermatologically formulated exfoliating gel-cream designed to eliminate dead skin cells and reduce callosity. This treatment provides a potent keratolytic action whilst maintaining skin comfort thanks to its enriched mineral texture.
What are the benefits?
- Intense exfoliation: 30% Urea concentration helps dissolve thickened skin layers effectively.
- Moisture retention: Hydrating actives prevent the treated area from drying out during the renewal process.
- Skin soothing: Uriage Thermal Water immediately reduces discomfort and irritation.
- Non-greasy texture: The gel-cream formula absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue.
How does it work?
The high concentration of Urea works by breaking down the keratin bonds in the skin's surface, allowing thickened layers to shed naturally. This keratolytic process is supported by Uriage Thermal Water, which delivers essential minerals to strengthen the barrier. Together, these components refine skin texture and reduce the appearance of rough patches.
