What is the main difference between this urea cream and a regular hand cream?

A regular hand cream primarily provides a protective layer of moisture to the skin's surface. The key difference with AromaSaules Hand and Foot Cream UREA 10% is its active ingredient approach. It contains a 10% concentration of urea, a substance naturally present in the skin's moisture barrier. This level is chosen for noticeably dry, rough, or tight skin, as urea works in two specific ways: it helps bind water in the upper layers for longer-lasting hydration, and it assists in loosening hardened, flaky cells that build up on rough patches like heels and knuckles. This makes it a richer, more targeted product for areas that feel depleted after frequent washing, exposure to weather, or friction from shoes. For comparison, a basic lotion might feel too light for such skin concerns, whereas this cream offers deeper moisturising support.
