Instituto Español Urea Foot Cream, Elbows and Hands - 150 ml

So I’ve been using this product for 2 months now and I am absolutely amazed by the results! I’ve been using it on some thickened skin that had formed on the (top) joints of my two big toes due to poor-fitting footwear. I had tried many creams and oils to soften the skin but the results were minimal. I even resorted to skin-lightening creams at one point as the skin on my joints had become very dark from all the friction. This product is incredible and has dramatically improved and basically cured my skin issues. I apply this cream 3-4 times a week as I don’t think you need to apply it daily due to its exfoliating properties. I’ve tried a 40% urea cream on my thickened skin before and it didn’t work even HALF AS GOOD as this 20% cream! How I apply: - Joints After showering, I apply a thin layer and rub it in. After it’s been rubbed in, I apply a second (thicker) layer, rub it in slightly but not completely and I allow it to sit on my skin and absorb on its own. It absorbs fairly quick so you won’t be sat around for hours. - Heels A thin(ish) layer is needed. Just rub a pea-sized amount into your heels before bed and give it about 2-3 days to see and feel the results. Sometimes it may feel chalky but this is due to its high urea content. - Hands I usually apply this before bed (3-4 times a week). It’s amazing for dry, crusty cuticles and is magical on your nails. It exfoliates dead skin around your nails and and leaves your nails looking shiny and healthy. My hands are now super soft and look amazing. - Body I don’t apply this to my body every day. I apply this to my entire body 2-3 times a week but obviously feel free to apply it more frequently depending on your skin. I always apply this right after my shower whilst my skin is still wet / damp and allow it to soak in and air dry. Again, it doesn’t take long and you’re left with beautifully soft, moisturised skin. I can’t praise this cream enough! Remember: the chalky, drying feel doesn’t mean your skin is drying out. It’s just the urea doing it’s work. There have been times where I have applied this cream to an extra dry area (elbows), and the dead skin has flaked and peeled after 10 minutes. I just rub the area in a circular motion until the flaky skin has come off and I’m left with softer skin. I can’t wait to repurchase this again!

Easy to apply and odourless. I ordered and used this Urea cream many times as it was one of the best on the market for price, value and effectiveness. Unfortunately as this item is manufactured and imported from Spain, it is no longer available on Amazon UK.

Excellent cream for dry skin

Really helps keep my feet in good condition. Only thing I hate is the feeling on my hands after applying (weird gritty texture) but that’s the urea doing its thing. I just make sure to wash it off my hands after applying…I’m a weirdo obviously!

For the cost and percentage of urea I thought this product was better than some alternatives that were available. I’ve been using it for about a week and it’s helped with keeping my heels smooth. The formula is non-greasy and does take a little while to absorb. It also leaves your feet looking moisturised but with a dry residue feeling on your feet (and hands). Your feet will look moisturised but they don’t shine, if you get what I mean. The fragrance is non offensive. Easy to use and should last a while so good value for money.

Now on my 3rd tube. Great product.

Doesn't work quickly but with time and regular use it's good stuff

I got this cream for my mum as she had been using a pharmaceutical one for years that has now gone off the market. We have identified that urea is the active ingredient that is doing immensely good to her cracked hands as she has been on steroids for years and her skin has thinned a lot. She also struggles with very dry and cracked hands - symptoms that are looking somewhat like psoriasis but have been labelled "atopic dermatitis" by the dermatologists. She is now swearing by this cream and cannot stop complementing on how well her hands look. She is adamant that this is a much better cream than the one she had been using. Honestly, if you have similar issues with your hands, give it a try. The price is also very good for the amount of product you get so you should just go for it!!

Avant cette crème pour les pieds j'en utilisais une autre d'une marque plus connue mais comme elle n'était pas disponible immédiatement j'ai pris celle ci. C'est ainsi que j'ai découvert qu'elle n'a rien à envier à la concurrence, je la trouve même plus efficace pour hydrater la peau de mes pieds soumise à rude épreuve toute la journée dans des chaussures de sécurité. La crème pénètre rapidement dans la peau, ne laisse pas de film gras. En quelques jours je ne reconnais plus mes pieds. La peau est douce, ils sont ''comme neuf'' Les callosités bien hydratées sont également plus facile à poncer. La crème s'appliquant avec les mains la peau de celles ci bénéficie également des effets hydratants de la crème. Elle est légèrement parfumée mais ce n'est pas gênant, rapidement le parfum s'estompe pour disparaître dans les heures qui suivent.

Die Creme hat einen sehr angenehmen Geruch. Ich habe die Creme wegen meiner trockenen rauen Ellenbogen gekauft. Schon beim ersten Auftragen fühlten sich die Ellenbogen spürbar weicher und besser an. Ich kann die Creme nur weiterempfehlen. Der Preis ist aufgrund der Tubengröße von 150 ml völlig angemessen.

I have bunions, hard skin around toe, applied it overnight and after warm soak and it works wonder, softens feet. I highly recomend it if you are facing hard skin/ cracks issue!

Très efficace, amélioration visible après quelques jours d’application seulement.
