This week, the birds are singing, the flower bulbs are blooming, and I’m exfoliating my legs. Spring is a wondrous time. — Nic
Eucerin Roughness Relief Body Lotion Review
I meant to try urea body lotions a long time ago, but the name always turned me off. Urea is a little too close to urine for my comfort. However, as someone who requires excess exfoliation to function, I’ve heard it’s the best ingredient on the market to battle strawberry legs and scaly limbs. So, I threw this Eucerin lotion in my Walmart cart. Here’s what I think after using it for a month.
➡️ Product: Eucerin Roughness Relief Body Lotion
Ingredients: Water, Urea, Glycerin, Isopropyl Stearate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Glyceryl Glucoside, Sodium Lactate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Nylon-12, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Arginine HCL, Sodium PCA, Lactic Acid, Carnitine, Mannitol, Serine, Sucrose, Citrulline, Glycogen, Histidine HCL, Ceramide NP, Alanine, Threonine, Glutamic Acid, Lysine HCL, Sodium Chloride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate.
✅ Why It Works: Damn, it really does work. My legs are smooooooth. It unclogged my pores and lightened scars from ingrown hairs. I’m a believer in the urea.
❌ Why It Doesn’t: It’s actually terrible to apply. It’s sticky, and it smells weird. You want to apply this directly out of the shower on damp, freshly shaved skin. I also prefer to wear long pajama pants, so the grease and the weird plasticky scent don’t get all over my sheets.
Buy It? Yes. The upsides definitely outweigh the downsides. Enjoy smooth legs this summer — or all year round.
Pro Tip: Dry brush your legs before getting into the shower for maximum effectiveness.

🗳️ Trump signed an executive order directing the USPS to send mail ballots only to verified voters. This likely oversteps federal authority, since voting rules are set by states. Ironically, Trump himself voted by mail last week.
