Diabederm Urea Cream 10% and 20%: How to Choose the Right One?
Dry skin does not affect everyone in the same way. Choosing the appropriate urea concentration can help provide care that better suits your skin condition. Diabederm is available in 10% and 20% urea formulations, each designed for different skin-care needs.
Diabederm 10% — Green Tube
Focuses on moisturizing and helping retain moisture
Helps increase and retain skin moisture.
Helps care for dry, tight-feeling skin and relieve discomfort associated with dryness.
Suitable for moderately dry skin, including people with easily dry skin or mature skin.
Can be applied to various areas of the body, such as the arms, legs, torso, hands, and feet.
Suitable for regular daily use to help keep skin moisturized and feeling healthier.
Diabederm 20% — Blue Tube
Focuses on rough, thickened, and hardened skin
Contains a higher concentration of urea and focuses more on softening and helping remove built-up dead skin cells.
Suitable for areas with very dry, thick, rough, or visibly flaky skin.
Particularly suitable for targeted areas such as cracked heels, rough ankles, thick elbows, and rough knees, as well as other areas where the skin has become especially thick or hardened.
Because the 20% formula has a stronger keratolytic effect, it should be used carefully and avoided on thin or sensitive areas such as the face, underarms, or other delicate skin, in accordance with the product instructions.
Which Formula Should You Choose?
In simple terms:
Dry skin that needs everyday moisture and hydration → Diabederm 10% (Green)
Very dry, rough, thickened, or hardened skin in specific areas → Diabederm 20% (Blue)
Choosing the right urea concentration based on your skin's condition and the area you want to treat can help provide more appropriate skin care.
If you have an existing skin condition, open wounds, or significant skin irritation or inflammation, consult a doctor or pharmacist before using a urea-based skin-care product.
