T Fredriksson et al. Int J Dermatol. 1975 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Two randomized, double-blind comparison studies were conducted to evaluate the efforts of 2 emollient dry skin creams containing urea in the management of dry skin in atopic patients. Cream with 10% urea was shown to be effective in the management of dry skin and hand dermatitis. The cream with a pH of 6 caused less burning.
