I have sensitive skin — is this cream safe to use? — Foot cream ultra -frozen, 100 ml - Jee Cosmetics

If your skin is very sensitive, damaged, or irritated, patch testing is a sensible first step. Both urea at 10% and tea tree oil can feel too active for some people. To patch test, apply a small amount to a small area of skin — for example, the inner ankle or the back of the heel — and wait 24 hours. If you notice redness, itching, or a burning sensation, stop using the product.

Tea tree oil adds a fresh, purifying element to the formula, but it can also be a potential irritant for sensitive skin. If you have a history of reactions to tea tree oil or urea-based products, this cream may not be the best choice. If you have a chronic skin condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are on medication, consult a specialist before use.
