Frequently asked questions
Can I use Urea and Vitamin E together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Urea and Vitamin E, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (hydration and barrier), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Urea or Vitamin E?
Apply Urea first, then Vitamin E. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Urea in the morning or at night?
Urea: works morning or night. Use 5–10% on the face or body daily. Higher strengths can sting on broken or freshly exfoliated skin.
Should I use Vitamin E in the morning or at night?
Vitamin E: works morning or night. Look for it combined with vitamin C and ferulic acid. Very oily or acne-prone skin should avoid pure vitamin E oil.
