Curel (キュレル)
The Curel series offers reliable products specifically designed for sensitive skin. I personally have dry facial skin, and throughout the year, factors like cold weather, pollen, and UV rays often cause irritation. Whenever my skin feels reactive, I turn to Curel. If you have dry, sensitive skin, it is worth trying.
Curel products, made by the Japanese company Kao, are fragrance-free and developed through extensive dermatological research. Curel’s ceramide-based formula plays a significant role in moisture retention and skin barrier function. Because they are so gentle, they are suitable for all ages and genders.
I have been using makeup cleansing gel, facial lotion, and cream. They moisturize and tone the skin well. They have never caused irritation, redness, or any problems on my skin.
My top recommendation is the Intensive Moisture Facial Cream. It has a light and smooth texture and hydrates the skin well. The facial lotion also works well and comes in three levels: I (Light), II, and III (Enriched). The makeup cleansing gel is relatively mild, so I use it when I am only wearing sunscreen or light makeup.
The Curel series offers a wide variety of skin care products, including facial wash, sheet masks, eye cream, lip balm, hand cream, body cream, and more.
Also, Curel has several lines: the line with blue accents is for intensive moisture care, the light green is for oil control and acne care, the silver is for brightening by preventing dark spots and freckles, and the purple is for anti-aging care by making wrinkles less noticeable.
How much do they cost?
According to the brand’s online store, the cream is 2,970 yen, the facial lotion is 2,090 yen, and the makeup cleansing gel is 1,100 yen (all prices including tax).
Where can you find them?
You can find Curel products at almost any Japanese drugstore (Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Sugi Pharmacy, Welcia, etc.)
If you are looking for a reliable, effective skincare gift for yourself or a friend, you should definitely check the Curel section at drugstores.
