Can urea vitamin E cream be applied to the face

Urea vitamin E cream can generally be applied to the face and is suitable for people with dry, cracked or thickened skin. Urea can soften keratin and promote skin barrier repair. Vitamin E has antioxidant and moisturizing effects, but it should be avoided around the eyes and mucous membranes. For those with allergies, local testing is recommended first. The main component of urea vitamin E cream, urea concentration, is usually below 10%, which is relatively safe for non sensitive areas of the face. Urea works by dissolving keratin, effectively improving the problem of flaking caused by dryness. Combined with the lipophilic properties of vitamin E, it can enhance the skin's ability to retain water. It is recommended to take a small amount and apply it to the cheekbones, forehead, and other areas after cleansing, gently massage until absorbed, and control the frequency 1-2 times a day. For mixed skin, it is recommended to focus on applying it to areas with thicker keratin in the T zone, and to reduce the amount in weak areas such as the cheeks. If there is a brief stinging sensation after use, it is normal. If there is a persistent burning sensation, it should be discontinued.

Facial use should be cautious of potent products with urea concentrations exceeding 15%, as these creams may cause damage to the healthy skin barrier. The permeability of skin thinning areas such as eyelids and nasolabial folds is high, which can easily lead to irritant contact dermatitis. Patients with diabetes or rosacea are sensitive to facial nerve endings, so consult a doctor before use. Products with added preservatives may induce erythema and papules. It is recommended to choose a fragrance free and pigment free formula. If used in combination with other retinoid products, it may exacerbate skin dryness and peeling.

During use, it is recommended to use mild amino acid cleansers and avoid using scrub or soap based cleaning products. During autumn and winter seasons, it is recommended to apply Vaseline with stronger sealing properties on the outer layer to enhance the moisturizing effect. If there is no improvement in skin roughness after continuous use for 2 weeks, it is necessary to consider the possibility of fungal infection or other skin diseases, and seek timely medical attention from a dermatologist. Pregnant and lactating women should confirm that the product does not contain prohibited ingredients such as salicylic acid before use.
