Urea 40% Lotion

My dermatologist prescribed Urea 40% lotion for Keratosis pilaris. Although, this condition no longer bothers me mentally/emotionally, like it did when I was younger now that I know there is a treatment for it I am interested in getting the prescription; however, even with insurance my cost for this lotion is $90. Are there any other cheaper options to treating this skin issue? I was told by my pharmacist lesser percentage Urea lotions are less than half the cost of my prescription. But are they worth trying?

BADC,

Hi there. Speaking from experience, the lesser % urea is basically useless. The 40% as you recall was an excellent topical solution for said conditions. A handful of patrons at our pharmacy opted for the lesser value OTC lotion; sadly each were very disappointed. Everyone responds differently but a negative consensus seems to prevail with this. Hope that helps a little. Regards.

I decided to not waste my money on a lower % Urea lotion. Instead my dermatologist suggested using Rx savings cards for discounted Rx rates. I've been using the prescribed 40% Urea lotion daily for about 2 weeks now and I personally don't really notice a difference but maybe it takes more time.
