Urea

Summary

A humectant that hydrates and gently smooths rough, dry skin.

Smoothness in the formula

No Opuliss formula carries urea itself today. Where urea is used in skincare, its job is refining the feel and look of texture. We file it under Smoothing in this glossary for that job, and the evidence section below says how far its source goes.

Smoothness in the rough

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Smoothness in the evidence

Our record reads: Amin 2024 PMID 38505682. You can read it yourself at PubMed 38505682. Where we cannot point to a specific study we say so, rather than implying one exists.

Smoothness and its limits

The research behind Urea studies the ingredient, not a finished Opuliss product. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
