NARIS – Urea Repair Cream

 

Intensive care for the appearance of stretch marks and very dry skin

NARIS body cream is an intensely moisturizing treatment specially formulated for skin that is dry, rough, uncomfortable, or shows visible irregularities, particularly stretch marks.

Its formula combines urea, niacinamide, glycerin, a brown algae extract, and a complete complex of five ceramides. This combination helps restore hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and make the skin progressively softer, more supple, and visibly more even.

Volume: 300 g

Why is this cream so popular?

Its popularity stems mainly from its particularly complete formula. Unlike a simple moisturizing lotion, it combines several categories of complementary active ingredients:

• moisturizing agents that draw water into the skin;
• nourishing agents that limit dehydration;
• ceramides that help strengthen the skin barrier;
• niacinamide to improve the appearance of the complexion and texture;
• urea to soften very dry and rough areas.

It is also appreciated for its large 300 g format, which allows for generous daily application on several areas of the body.

The main benefits

Intense hydration

Urea and glycerin draw and retain water in the surface layers of the skin. They thus help reduce sensations of dryness and tightness.

The skin quickly appears more comfortable, softer, and less rough.

Improvement in the appearance of stretch marks

A stretch mark corresponds to a profound change in the structure of the skin. A cosmetic cream cannot, therefore, guarantee its complete disappearance.

However, properly hydrated skin becomes more supple and reflects light better. The marks may thus appear progressively less dry, less recessed, and less contrasted.

This treatment therefore helps to visually reduce the appearance of stretch marks, particularly when they are accompanied by dryness or a lack of suppleness.

Visibly smoother skin

Urea helps soften dead cells accumulated on the skin's surface. It contributes to improving rough and uneven areas without the need for aggressive scrubbing.

The skin's texture appears progressively smoother and more even.

Strengthening of the skin barrier

The formula contains five types of ceramides: AP, AS, EOP, NP, and NS.

Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the skin. They act like a cement between skin cells and contribute to maintaining an effective protective barrier.

They are combined with cholesterol and hydrogenated lecithin to help the skin better retain its moisture and protect itself from external aggressions.

Improvement in skin uniformity

Niacinamide, also called vitamin B3, helps gradually improve the appearance of dull areas or areas with color variations.

It helps make the skin visually more uniform, brighter, and clearer, without being a whitening agent.

Nourishing and protective action

Mineral oil forms a protective film on the surface of the skin. This film limits the natural evaporation of water and prolongs the cream's moisturizing effect.

This action is particularly useful on very dry areas such as the knees, elbows, heels, and thighs.

The active ingredients explained in detail

Urea

Urea is a substance naturally present in the skin's natural moisturizing factor.

It has two main actions:

• a moisturizing action that helps the skin retain water;
• a softening action that improves the appearance of rough and thickened areas.

It is particularly suitable for skin that is very dry, uncomfortable, flaky, or has an irregular texture.

The exact concentration of urea is not specified on the packaging. Therefore, this cream should not be presented as a 10%, 20%, or 40% urea formula.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide contributes to the proper functioning of the skin barrier. It helps the skin better retain its moisture and contributes to improving its overall appearance.

It is particularly interesting for:

• dull areas;
• irregularities in color;
• skin weakened by dryness;
• irregular texture;
• visible marks.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a humectant agent. It attracts water and helps maintain it in the surface layers of the skin.

It provides an immediate sensation of comfort and helps keep the skin softer throughout the day.

Complex of five ceramides

The formula combines:

• Ceramide AP;
• Ceramide AS;
• Ceramide EOP;
• Ceramide NP;
• Ceramide NS.

This combination helps replenish the lipids essential for skin protection. It is particularly interesting when the skin is dry, weakened, or uncomfortable.

Cholesterol

The cholesterol present in a cosmetic formula is a skin lipid. Along with ceramides, it contributes to maintaining the skin's protective barrier.

It has no relation to dietary or blood cholesterol.

Laminaria digitata extract

Laminaria digitata is a brown algae used in body care for its moisturizing and revitalizing properties.

It contributes to skin comfort and complements the action of the formula's moisturizing agents.

Mineral oil

Mineral oil is an emollient and protective agent. It helps limit water loss and soften very dry areas.

It reinforces the rich and enveloping feel of the cream.

For what needs?

This cream is particularly recommended for:

• recent or old stretch marks;
• dry or very dry skin;
• rough areas;
• skin lacking suppleness;
• marks related to weight changes;
• skin stretched during or after pregnancy;
• dull or irregular areas;
• dry knees, elbows, and heels;
• thighs prone to chafing;
• areas with a grainy texture.

Application areas

It can be applied to:

• the stomach;
• the hips;
• the thighs;
• the buttocks;
• the arms;
• the knees;
• the elbows;
• the heels;
• the chest, avoiding the nipples.

It is intended for the body. Its use on the face is not recommended, particularly due to its rich texture and the presence of fragrance.

Directions for use

Apply the cream morning and evening to clean skin.

For better hydration, use it immediately after showering, when the skin is still slightly damp.

Take a generous amount, then massage each area for one to two minutes with circular movements until absorbed.

On areas with stretch marks, perform a gentle but prolonged massage to distribute the product well. Regularity is more important than the amount applied at one time.

Recommended routine

1. Cleanse the skin with a mild product.
2. Pat dry without rubbing.
3. Apply the cream to skin that is still slightly damp.
4. Massage until absorbed.
5. Repeat the application morning and evening.

It is not recommended to perform an aggressive scrub just before application, as urea can cause tingling on irritated skin.

When can results be seen?

Softness and comfort can be felt from the first applications.

Improving the suppleness, texture, and overall appearance of the skin requires regular use for several weeks.

Results depend in particular on:

• the age of the stretch marks;
• their depth;
• their color;
• the level of dryness;
• the regularity of application;
• weight changes;
• the skin's natural characteristics.
