Keratinamin Kowa 20% Urea Cream (category III drug)

**Product Description**
For rough, dry hands and hard, cracked heels.
Softens hardened skin, making it smooth and moisturized.

* *20% Urea Targets Stubborn Roughness and Hardness*
Urea works by exfoliating old, dead skin cells to smooth the skin, leading to a more hydrated appearance.

* *Rich and Moisturizing Feel*
The 20% urea formulation efficiently draws the body’s own moisture into the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) and prevents it from escaping, keeping the skin hydrated.
