The influence of a monotherapy with glycerol and urea, respectively, on the stratum corneum hydration against exsiccation by a tenside solution and on the skin - smoothing effect was investigated in comparison with a combination therapy with glycerol and urea. Here, an increase of 5 % in the dose of urea in an oil-in-water-emulsion did not produce significant advantages with regard to the stratum corneum hydration and the protective effect against the dehydration by tenside solutions. In contrast to this an increase in the dose of glycerol of over 5% in an oil-in-water-emulsion proved to be efficient under both criteria. With regard to the stratum corneum hydration and the protective effect against exsiccation by tendides, the combination of 5% glycerin and 5% urea was superior to a monotherapy, with exception of the oil-in-water-emulsion containing 10 % glycerin. With regard to the smoothing effect only the combination of 5% urea and 5% glycerin produced a significant advantage.
