Contains lactic acid (gentle AHA for exfoliation and hydration).
Fragrance-free, cruelty-free, free from mineral oils and parabens.
Lightweight, non-greasy texture that sinks in well.

Ingredient Highlights:

Water as the first ingredient.
urea is the third ingredient, a key moisturizing and exfoliating agent.
Contains isopropyl myristate and coconut oil, both known to be highly comedogenic.
Glycerin and palm extract (hydrating and soothing).
Vitamin E (can irritate some users).
ceramide complex is present but low in concentration (second last ingredient).
lactic acid is at the very end of the list (minimal concentration).

Pros:

Lightweight and sinks into the skin beautifully (8/10 for absorption).
Provides semi-long-lasting hydration with moderate occlusivity (7/10).
Free from fragrance, parabens, mineral oils, and cruelty-free.
Very affordable price point.
Suitable for dry skin due to moisturizing ingredients like urea and glycerin.

Cons:

Contains isopropyl myristate and coconut oil, which are comedogenic and may cause breakouts.
ceramide complex concentration is low compared to other Dermaco moisturizers.
May cause irritation or breakouts, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Hydration may not last all day for very dry skin; reapplication needed.
Not ideal for users sensitive to vitamin E or comedogenic oils.

User Experience:

Reviewer has dry skin, prone to dryness but not very acne-prone.
Tested for 4 days in a dry climate.
Experienced breakouts and redness, likely due to isopropyl myristate and coconut oil.
Found the moisturizer did not work well for their skin, causing irritation and rash.
Prefers other Dermaco moisturizers with higher ceramide concentration despite slightly higher price.
Suggests the small price difference is worth it for better formulation and fewer irritants.
Notes that if the moisturizer feels heavy or causes issues, it might be due to incompatibility with other skincare products.

Comparisons:

Compared unfavorably to Dermaco’s 4% ceramide complex moisturizer, which has a cleaner ingredient list and higher ceramide content.
The ceramide complex moisturizer costs about ₹50 more but is preferred by the reviewer.
Reviewer advises considering the slightly more expensive option for better skin compatibility.

Overall Verdict:

The Dermaco 4% urea Moisturizer is an affordable, lightweight, and fragrance-free option targeted for dry skin with moisturizing and mild exfoliating benefits. However, the inclusion of comedogenic ingredients like isopropyl myristate and coconut oil may cause breakouts and irritation, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin types. The ceramide complex is present but at a low concentration, making it less effective compared to other Dermaco moisturizers. Given the small price difference, the reviewer recommends opting for the 4% ceramide complex moisturizer over this one for better skin tolerance and ingredient quality. This product may work well for some users but is not suitable for everyone.

Additional Notes from Reviewer:

Skin type: Dry, prone to dryness, not very acne-prone.
Tested in dry climate.
Encourages viewers to share their experiences if different.
Emphasizes stocking up during Dermaco’s OnePlusOne sales for better value.
Suggests the product’s hydration may depend on the rest of the skincare routine.

Recommendation:

If you have very dry skin and are looking for a cheap moisturizer, this product might be worth trying but be cautious if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. For better results and fewer side effects, consider Dermaco’s 4% ceramide complex moisturizer despite the slightly higher price.
