Umecta Mousse
Umecta Mousse is a topical skin treatment used to help moisturize and soften very dry, rough, or scaly skin conditions. It contains urea, a keratolytic agent that works by dissolving the intercellular matrix, helping to remove dead skin cells while moisturizing the skin. This makes it particularly effective for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, and ichthyosis. The mousse formula allows for easy application and absorption into the skin.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Umecta Mousse Work?
Umecta Mousse contains urea, which is both a keratolytic and a humectant. As a keratolytic, urea helps break down the outer layer of dead skin cells, allowing them to slough off more easily. This action reduces roughness and scaling. As a humectant, urea draws moisture into the skin, helping to soften and hydrate the underlying layers, improving skin texture and flexibility.
Common Dosages
- Urea 10%
- Urea 20%
- Urea 40%
The appropriate strength is typically prescribed based on the severity of the skin condition.
Typical Dosing
- Apply a small amount of Umecta Mousse to the affected area once or twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Gently rub the mousse into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
