Cetaphil Exfoliating Rough & Bumpy Cream — 8 oz Tube, 20% Urea, Lightweight Hydrating Exfoliant for Sensitive Skin

Cetaphil Exfoliating Rough & Bumpy Cream is a lightweight, daily cream formulated with 20% urea to gently exfoliate keratin buildup and hydrate skin for smoother, less bumpy texture.

If you have small, rough bumps—often on the arms, legs, or face—this formula targets the keratin that can block hair follicles while adding moisture to support the skin’s barrier. The non-greasy, fragrance‑free cream combines urea and glycerin to dissolve dead skin surface cells and lock in hydration, making it suitable for sensitive skin and daily use.

How quickly will I notice smoother skin?

Many users report an immediate improvement in skin feel after the first application thanks to the urea dissolving surface buildup. Continued daily use is recommended for more visible reduction in bumps and an evening of skin tone over several weeks.

• Noticeably softer skin after one use
• Visible reduction in bumpiness with consistent use—about one month
• Daily application supports gradual texture refinement

What makes the 20% urea formula gentle for sensitive skin?

Urea at this concentration helps break down excess keratin without the abrasive action of physical scrubs. The cream is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, and non‑comodegenic, and it pairs urea with glycerin to help maintain moisture and strengthen the skin’s barrier while exfoliating.

• 20% urea: chemical exfoliant that dissolves keratin buildup
• Glycerin: humectant that supports 48‑hour hydration
• Formulated to be non‑irritating for sensitive skin types

Where should I apply this cream and how often?

The cream is designed for areas prone to roughness—commonly the backs of arms, thighs, and facial areas with small bumps. Use once daily as part of your routine; apply to clean, dry skin and allow it to absorb. Avoid broken skin and discontinue use if excessive irritation occurs.

• Ideal for arms, legs, and bumpy facial regions
• Apply daily to areas of roughness after cleansing
• Non‑greasy texture absorbs quickly into skin

Will this product clog pores or feel heavy under makeup?

The formula is non‑comodegenic and lightweight, so it won’t block pores or leave a heavy residue under clothing or cosmetics. Because it strengthens the moisture barrier while exfoliating, it supports smoother application of subsequent products.

• Non‑greasy, fast‑absorbing cream
• Won’t clog pores—suitable for daily use under other products
• Works alongside moisturizers and body lotions

Who is this for: Cetaphil Exfoliating Rough & Bumpy Cream is intended for people with textured or bumpy skin who want a gentle, daily chemical exfoliant that also hydrates. It’s formulated for all skin types—including sensitive skin—and is especially useful for those looking to reduce keratin‑related bumps without harsh scrubbing or fragrances.
