How and when should I apply this cream for the best results?

For optimal results on very dry or rough areas like heels, palms, elbows, or around the nails, apply the cream to clean, dry skin. A small amount is usually sufficient; massage it gently until absorbed. Many people find it practical to use it as part of a targeted evening routine on specific areas, as this allows the softening ingredients to work without being immediately washed off or rubbed away by socks or shoes.

You can use it as needed, but consistency is key for managing persistent roughness. For hands exposed to frequent washing or detergents, applying after washing and drying can help counteract drying effects. For thickened heels, applying before bed and optionally wearing cotton socks can enhance the effect. Since the 20% urea concentration is strong, it's advisable to start with less frequent use (e.g., once daily) to see how your skin responds, especially if you have sensitive skin or any broken skin. This product is intended for external cosmetic use on intact skin to support hydration and comfort. It is not a substitute for medical advice; if you have deep fissures, active irritation, or a skin condition, consult a specialist before use.
