What is Excipial U and when is it used?

The Excipial U preparations improve and normalize the skin's condition by supplementing the natural protective film with lipids and a humectant. This smoothes the rough surface and makes the skin elastic and resistant.

Excipial U Hydrolotio is a moisturizing oil-in-water type body milk with the active ingredient urea. It has a very high water content, is only slightly greasy and well permeable to secretions and heat, it has a cooling effect and can be washed off with water.

Excipial U Lipolotio also contains the active ingredient urea in a higher concentration and in a more greasy water-in-oil emulsion. It is waterproof and absorbs quickly despite the high fat content. Excipial U Lipolotio is available scented and unscented.
