Naturium Urea 5% Body Serum, Lightweight, Hydrating Serum with Nourishing & Soothing Benefits for Barrier Support, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 14 oz

I got this and was worried I’d hate it because of some of the reviews. A good amount of Naturium products have 4.5+ reviews, so for this to fall below that was worrisome. I’m glad I went for it, I love it. A little goes a long way too. No need to treat this like lotion, it’s definitely a serum. I’m not sure if many of the reviewers complaining about its stickiness have had a history with Urea lotions. I have KP and have been advised by dermatologists to use Urea lotions to help get rid of it. Most of those urea lotions are thick and very, very sticky. No matter how little you use, it’s a sticky mess and does not absorb. That’s urea for ya. Clothes stick, your sheets stick, it really sucks. I hate that feeling and just have never found a solution to my KP. Acid body washes help, but it’s that hydration factor that really helps it go away. This serum doesn’t stick like those lotions at all. Like not even close. Yes it’s stickier than a regular moisturizing lotion, but for Urea, this is great. I tried it alone, layered with their retinol lotion, and just the retinol lotion on different sections of my body on the same day. The layered route was way more hydrating. Just the serum, was still hydrating and silky feeling hours after application. Just retinol lotion, absorbed to the point where my skin feels good but I don’t feel that extra hydration I’m really looking for during the winter months. Also, this drives me crazy with reviews of fragrance free products. Fragrance free doesn’t mean the product has no smell. It just means that they didn’t add perfume aka fragrance to it. Certain ingredients have a their smell like salicylic acid or glycolic acid for example. There’s going to be a weird chemical odor to the product. That’s not fragrance. That natural smell is usually why some companies add fragrance is to mask those smells. But yeah, fragrance free will have a smell no matter what. Ok, vent over.

This is my top choice for moistuizing body serum that hydrates without leaving me feeling greasy and sticky. It takes my skin from alligator to refreshed with just one application. It doesnt take a lot of product so the 14oz bottle will last a long time. I also love that this product is vegan and cruelty-free.

This is amazing for moisturizing the skin. It helps with barrier repair.

I do like this body serum and will likely purchase it again. It makes my skin look nice, but the residual feel isn’t my favorite. It has a very light, subtle, normal skincare scent, with no obnoxious fragrance added. It is slightly thicker than what I imagine a serum to be and kind of traps in body heat, so I am left feeling a little clammy (but not sticky really) and hotter than normal after using it when the temperatures are hotter. However, I tend to not have suuuper dry skin, so this may not be an issue for drier skin that is able to absorb the product a bit better.

Packed with skin-loving ingredients like urea, glycerin, and amino acids, this body serum leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. I layer it under my Naturium moisturizer, and the results have been amazing—my skin has never felt better. As a mature woman, I consider this a true game-changer in my body care routine. The bottle is a nice size so will last a while. A little pricier than I might normally spend but worth every penny. The serum consistency is thick, but absorbs quickly and is not sticky
