Emollient / Moisturizing cream
Last reviewed June 2026
Who is this for?
SkinoRita Cream is a moisturizing and skin-repair cream that combines urea, lactic acid, glycerin, and several minerals to deeply hydrate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and restore the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Restores skin barrier function by enhancing natural moisturization through humectant and emollient properties; urea and lactic acid promote keratin dissolution and exfoliation of hyperkeratotic layers, while glycerin, cetyl alcohol, and stearic acid occlude transepidermal water loss and improve skin hydration. Glycine, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium chlorides and phosphate), and disodium edetate maintain osmotic balance and stabilize the formulation, reducing irritation from environmental stress and facilitating skin repair in xerotic conditions.

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected dry or rough areas of skin 1 to 2 times daily, usually morning and night. Rub it in gently until it is absorbed. This is for external use only — do not swallow or apply to open wounds.
If you forget to apply the cream, just apply it when you remember. There is no danger in missing a dose — simply continue your normal routine.
This cream is for skin moisturizing only — do not use it as a bleaching or toning cream. Avoid applying near your eyes, mouth, or inside the nose. Buy from reputable pharmacies to make sure you are getting the genuine product and not a fake or expired version.
Avoid using other strong exfoliating creams or peeling products (like those containing salicylic acid or tretinoin) at the same time, as this can irritate the skin. If you are using any medicated skin cream prescribed by a doctor, ask your pharmacist before combining them with SkinoRita.
