FAQ
What is urea in skincare and why is Derma:B's 9.8% level important?
Urea is a humectant and mild keratolytic agent — at lower percentages (under 10%), it draws water into the skin to deeply hydrate; at higher percentages (10–40%), it actively breaks down thickened, callused skin. Derma:B's 9.8% Urea Foot Cream sits at the perfect crossover point: strong enough to soften cracked heels, calluses and rough patches over 1–2 weeks of daily use, but gentle enough for everyday application without thinning the skin. It's a dermatologist-grade formulation accessible without prescription.
How is Derma:B Body Lotion different from a regular body lotion?
Derma:B Daily Moisture Body Lotion was developed alongside dermatologists for users with chronically dry, itchy, atopic-leaning or compromised skin — not just everyday dryness. The formula includes barrier-supporting ceramides, panthenol and amino acids, applied in a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that won't feel sticky in humid UAE/GCC weather. It's safe for use on babies (after the first few months), pregnancy, post-shower application, and on body areas particularly prone to dryness (shins, elbows, upper arms, lower back).
When and how should I apply Derma:B Body Oil?
Apply the Body Oil immediately after showering on slightly damp skin — this is when the skin is most absorbent and when oil locks in maximum water. Take 4–6 drops, warm between palms, and massage onto the body in upward, circular motions. The Fresh Peach scent fades within 30 minutes, so it doesn't clash with perfume or fragrance applied later. The oil can also be added to a body lotion for extra nourishment, or used on hair ends to tame frizz.
Can I use Derma:B Urea Foot Cream daily?
Yes — at 9.8% urea, the foot cream is formulated for daily use without thinning the skin or causing peeling. Apply a generous layer to clean, dry feet every evening, paying extra attention to heels, callused areas and the balls of the feet. For severely cracked heels, layer with socks overnight 2–3 times per week. Visible smoothing typically appears within 1–2 weeks; severely calloused feet may take 4–6 weeks of consistent use to fully soften. Pair with a gentle pumice or foot file once a week.
Is Derma:B suitable for sensitive or atopic skin?
Yes — Derma:B was developed with sensitive and atopic body skin in mind. The Daily Moisture line is fragrance-light, paraben-free and dermatologically tested for sensitivity. It's commonly recommended for users with eczema-prone body skin, post-shower dryness, keratosis pilaris (chicken skin on the arms or thighs), and chronically dry shins or hands. For very severe eczema or active flare-ups, confirm fit with your dermatologist alongside any prescription topicals.
