Gormel 10 is used to treat various dry skin conditions including ichthyosis, eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, xerosis (extremely dry skin), and localized areas of thickened or rough skin such as cracked heels and calluses.
Urea is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that acts as a humectant, attracting water to the skin's outer layer. At 10% concentration, it helps hydrate and soften thickened skin while gently exfoliating dead skin cells to improve skin texture and smoothness.
Gormel 10 is for external use only and should be applied topically to the affected skin areas as directed by a healthcare provider. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken or inflamed skin. Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or a burning sensation. Consult a doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
