Atrac-Tain Moisturizing Cream - 5 oz tube

Coloplast Atrac-Tain Moisturizing Cream is a high-strength topical moisturizer containing 10% urea and 4% lactic acid to soften and exfoliate severely dry, scaly, or cracked skin.

Formulated for tough dry patches and areas of callus buildup, Atrac-Tain combines a concentrated urea base with alpha hydroxy acid (lactic acid) to both hydrate and gently exfoliate. The 5-ounce tube offers a pharmacy-strength option in an unscented, dye- and preservative-free formula compatible with CHG antiseptics. Lightweight emollients like isopropyl palmitate and octyl palmitate improve spreadability while humectants such as sorbitol help retain moisture.

How does Atrac-Tain help very dry, cracked skin?

Atrac-Tain tackles severe dryness by pairing a high concentration of urea (10%) with 4% lactic acid to loosen thick, scaly tissue and encourage smoother skin texture. The cream hydrates while promoting gentle exfoliation so dead, rough skin is easier to remove with routine care.

• 10% urea draws and holds moisture within the stratum corneum
• 4% lactic acid helps break down hardened, scaly surface cells
• Emollients (isopropyl/octyl palmitate) create a softer, less crack-prone surface

Is this product safe for sensitive or medically supervised care?

Atrac-Tain is fragrance-, dye-, and preservative-free, reducing potential irritants for sensitive skin. It is CHG compatible and often used in clinical settings, but you should consult a clinician when using high-strength urea or acids on compromised skin.

• Fragrance- and dye-free to limit irritation
• CHG compatible for compatibility with common antiseptic routines
• Suitable for use under clinician direction on problem areas

How should I apply the cream for best results?

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once or twice daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. For very thick callused areas, consistent use improves softness; follow with regular gentle debridement if advised by a clinician.

• Use on clean, dry skin to maximize absorption
• Start with once daily; increase frequency per healthcare guidance
• Combine with mechanical smoothing only after skin softens

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The formula centers on 10% urea and 4% lactic acid, supported by emollients and stabilizers to deliver moisture and improve spread. Other components like glyceryl stearate and sorbitol reinforce the skin barrier and maintain a smoother surface after application.

• 10% urea — potent humectant and keratolytic agent
• 4% lactic acid (AHA) — gentle chemical exfoliant
• Isopropyl/octyl palmitate and glyceryl stearate — emollients for softness

Who is this for: Coloplast Atrac-Tain Moisturizing Cream is intended for adults and supervised patients who have severely dry, scaly, calloused, or crack-prone skin needing a clinical-strength moisturizer and mild keratolytic action. It’s a practical choice when over-the-counter lotions aren’t effective and when fragrance-free, CHG-compatible care is preferred. If you have open wounds, active infection, or vascular/neuropathic skin concerns, consult a healthcare professional before use. The cream is supplied in a convenient 5 oz tube for repeated targeted applications.
