When should you choose this nourishing cleansing cream?
Uriage Derm-Phy Dermatological Cleansing Cream is a 2-in-1 cleansing and nourishing product designed fordaily body and facial hygiene. Its soap-free, pH-balanced cleansing base is combined with Uriage Thermal Water and a nourishing oil complex of shea butter, meadowfoam oil, and sunflower oil.
Cleansing the skin without drying it out means, first and foremost, preserving the thin layer of water and lipids that covers it. The cleansing base gently removes impurities and leaves the skin perfectly clean, while the formula preserves the skin’s hydrolipidic film—its first line of defense against daily aggressors.
Shea butter and the two plant-based oils give the cream its nourishing properties. Once rinsed off, it leaves the skin hydrated, soft, and supple, without the tight feeling often left by traditional soaps. Uriage Thermal Water, with its moisturizing and protective properties, rounds out the formula.
It’s perfect for both your morning shower and evening routine, after a workout, or during the winter months, when cold weather and heating can leave your skin feeling drier. Its ultra-rich, enveloping texture lathers easily, and its new, more comforting fragrance makes shower time a pleasant experience.
A rinse-off cleansing cream: while it preserves the skin’s natural barrier during cleansing, it doesn’t extend that protection throughout the day. We recommend pairing it with Neutrogena Deep Moisture Body Lotion: applied right after your shower, on skin that’s still slightly damp, this leave-on treatment stays on your skin and takes over from the cleanser to maintain hydration.

Our expert advice on Uriage Derm-Phy Cleansing Cream
When choosing a cleansing cream, skin tolerance is more important than the cream’s richness. For easily irritated skin, the presence of fragrance is the first thing to check before purchasing—well before considering the texture. The large size makes sense once you’ve confirmed the cream is well-tolerated: for reactive skin, it’s best to test it for a few days before stocking up for the entire bathroom.
At the counter, we often see skin that feels tight due to the washing technique rather than the product itself. A small amount is enough—lather it in your hands before applying it to the skin. Rinsing thoroughly is just as important as the cleanser itself, followed by gently patting the skin dry with a towel rather than rubbing it. Keep your shower lukewarm and short: hot water dries out the skin far more than any cleanser.
FAQ
Can I use Uriage Derm-Phy Cleansing Cream on my face?
Yes: it’s designed for both the face and body, and its formula has been tested under ophthalmological supervision. If you’re wearing makeup, you’ll need to remove it first, as the cleansing cream isn’t a makeup remover.
Can I wash my hair with Uriage Derm-Phy Cleansing Cream?
It is formulated for the skin of the face and body, not as a shampoo. Some people use it occasionally on the scalp; for regular washing, a mild shampoo is still better suited for the hair.
Should I choose Uriage Derm-Phy Dermatological Cleansing Cream 1L or Uriage Derm-Phy Dermatological Cleansing Oil?
The cleansing oil is primarily intended for dry and sensitive skin, with a creamy, fine lather. The cleansing cream is suitable for all skin types: it’s the choice for a nourishing cleansing routine for those who don’t need a product specifically designed for dry skin.
