TIS Urea 30% Cream - Heals Severely Cracked, Dehydrated, Irritated Skin | Feet, Nails, Elbows, Knees, Hands | Skin prone to Eczema, Psoriasis | Ingrown, Devitalized, Damaged nails | Thick Consistency

I have had psoriasis on my upper arms and lower face since I was a kid. I am now in my 30s. I have always felt very self conscious about the red bumpy skin, and so for years I didn't wear short sleeves. I finally looked up the what the condition actually was a few years ago on the NHS website and read the information there about psoriasis and it appeared that there was not much that could be done to ameliorate the condition and no cure. However after having done more research online into psoriasis last year I read that creams with urea in could reduce the appearance of symptoms.This cream (30% urea) has really helped. I have been using it for 3 months and have seen a big reduction in the redness, the amount of bumps, and the remaining bumps are much much more minor. I have been using it twice a day alongside using a loofah on the area everyday when showering. I'm not sure whether the bumps and redness will go 100% if I continue using it or whether/how quickly it will come back if I stop using it.On the product itself: the cream is from a Romanian manufacturer and there are no instructions or details in English on or with the product. The cream is really thick. Like wall filler consistency. I use a toothpaste kind of amount on each arm with every application. You have to squeeze the tube quite hard to get it out, and then it forms a bit of a sticky layer over the area that I guess is slowly absorbed. The first time I used it I tried to thin it by mixing it with my regular moisturiser, but this doesn't really work and I realised its probably this thick for a reason - I guess it traps in moisture and allows it to be absorbed over a longer time. Despite how effective the cream is, I don't use it on my face anymore, where the condition was anyway more mild. Instead I use a 10% urea one from another brand for my face, as this product, due to its thickness, seemed to clog my pores and I ended up with a few spots. But its been working great on my arms.This is the fist amazon review I've left. I just wanted to leave it here incase other people with psoriasis were looking at the product. I can't say if it will work so well for other people, but I wanted to share my experience. Before finding this product I used a couple of other creams for a few months that were 10% urea. They also helped, but I think this one has reduced the visibility of the psoriasis much more, though it is more expensive per ml than the other creams I tried.Now I know it works I tend to now buy a few tubes at a time as it is only 50ml so doesn't last super long. I'll try to record how quickly I get through it next time I start a new tube...

Great product works so well

I haven't used this cream for too long in order to say if is gor or not. What can I say is that is quite thick and you need to work it a bit to be absorbed on the skin. It feels alright after that, the skin feels moistured but cannot say much at this point

Fantastic cream for really dry rough elbows . It’s thick and very little goes a long way I have tried many products but this is by far the best yet .

When hands are sore having problems getting cream out of tube as cream is very thick, bought another make in a tub to make life easier to use and makes it less painful to open.

This cream works wonders, it will certainly help super dry skin. It’s just not very easy to get out of the tube as it’s so thick, also you need a good 5mins to rub it in so just bear that in mind. Also it’s a fair small tube. But like I said it does work.
