Hi everyone! I’ve been trying out various moisturizers to help with my oily skin and post-acne marks, and I’ve seen a lot of recommendations for products that include urea. I know that urea can be great for hydration and supporting the skin barrier, but I’ve noticed a burning sensation after using some of these products, which has been really frustrating.
Currently, I’m using gel moisturizers along with retinoids and niacinamide, but I didn’t expect the urea to cause any discomfort. My skin tends to be a bit sensitive, so I’m wondering if the concentration of urea in these products might be too much for me.
Has anyone else experienced this? If you’ve used urea in your skincare routine, how did you deal with any irritation? Are there specific products or strategies that worked better for you? I’d love to hear your experiences and tips!
