Product Overview

What is Curél Intensive Moisture Care Foaming Wash?

Curél Intensive Moisture Care Foaming Facial Wash is a gentle, ceramide-protecting cleanser specifically designed for dry and sensitive skin. Developed by Kao Corporation in Japan, this 150ml foaming wash thoroughly removes impurities, perspiration, and dirt while safeguarding your skin's natural ceramide barrier—the essential component that maintains moisture and protects against environmental stress.

The lightweight, air-like foam dispenses directly from the pump, eliminating the need for rubbing or harsh scrubbing. As the second step in the traditional Japanese double cleansing ritual, this facial wash leaves skin feeling dewy, soft, and comfortable without tightness or irritation. Perfect for those with compromised skin barriers, eczema-prone skin, or anyone seeking a truly gentle yet effective daily cleanser.

Authentic Japanese skincare shipped directly from Japan, Curél has built its reputation on understanding and caring for sensitive skin through decades of ceramide research and dermatological expertise.

FAQ

Q: What makes Curél different from other gentle cleansers?
A: Curél's unique ceramide protection technology is the key differentiator. While most "gentle" cleansers simply avoid harsh ingredients, Curél actively preserves your skin's natural ceramides—the lipids essential for moisture retention and barrier function. This makes it particularly effective for those with compromised skin barriers, eczema, or chronic dryness.

Q: Can I use this if I have acne-prone or oily skin?
A: While Curél Intensive Moisture Care is specifically formulated for dry and sensitive skin, those with combination skin can use it on dry areas. However, if you have oily or acne-prone skin, consider Curél's Sebum Trouble Care line instead, which is designed for excess oil control while still protecting ceramides.

Q: Do I need to use a makeup remover before this cleanser?
A: Yes. This foaming wash is designed as the second step in the Japanese double cleansing method. First, remove makeup and sunscreen with an oil-based cleanser (like Curél Makeup Cleansing Gel), then follow with this foaming wash to remove any remaining impurities and residue. This ensures thorough cleansing without over-stripping the skin.

Q: How long does one bottle last?
A: With typical twice-daily use (morning and evening), one 150ml bottle lasts approximately 2-3 months. The pump dispenser helps control the amount dispensed, preventing waste and ensuring consistent usage.

Q: Is this product fragrance-free and suitable for very sensitive skin?
A: Yes, Curél products are formulated without added fragrances and are hypoallergenic. They're specifically designed for sensitive, reactive skin and are suitable for those with conditions like eczema, rosacea, or contact dermatitis. However, as with any new skincare product, we recommend patch testing first if you have extremely reactive skin.

Q: Where does this product ship from and how long does delivery take?
A: This is 100% authentic Japanese product shipped directly from Japan. Free worldwide shipping is included. Delivery times vary by location but typically range from 7-21 business days depending on your country and customs processing.

Q: Can I use this around my eyes?
A: While the formula is gentle, it's designed for facial cleansing and should be used carefully around the eye area. Avoid direct contact with eyes. For eye makeup removal, use a dedicated eye makeup remover first, then follow with this foaming wash for the rest of your face.

Q: Does this cleanser foam on its own or do I need to create lather?
A: The pump dispenser automatically creates a soft, airy foam—no lathering, rubbing, or foaming net required. Simply pump the desired amount directly onto your hands or face and gently spread. This no-friction application is one of the key features that makes it so gentle on sensitive skin.
