The problem
Hands that have gone past ordinary dryness — rough, tight and sore-looking, where an everyday hand cream wears off within the hour.
How this helps
An intensive cream-compress with 5% urea and lanolin, plus hyaluronic acid, glycerine, D-panthenol, allantoin and vitamin E. At 5% the urea works on moisture rather than exfoliation, and lanolin helps rebuild the skin's barrier.

Questions and answers
What does the 5% urea do?
At 5%, urea works on moisture and softening rather than exfoliating. Eveline note that it is stronger concentrations, above 10%, that are used to slough off hard skin.
Will it leave my hands greasy?
Eveline describe it as a light consistency that absorbs easily without a heavy film, so it suits daytime use as well as before bed.
How often can I use it?
The pack says to rub a small amount into clean hands a few times a day. If hands are very dry, put a thicker layer on at night.
