Curel Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Gel for Dry, Sensitive Skin, 130ml

Product Information

Once the double cleanse is done, Double Moisturising is Curél’s 2-step routine where a pre-moisturising liquid is applied before the main moisturiser. This first moisturising step serves to help hydrate and relieve tightness while preparing it to absorb and retain moisture. You can think about it like the primer for moisturiser. I’ve been using Curél’s skin care for two months and it’s helped my skin weather the transition to winter weather tremendously. Like many, dryness is a main skin concern in the colder months. I am 25 years old and have normal to combination skin. Although my T-zone gets oily, I can experience severe dryness on my cheeks. Using Curél’s gentle cleansers and double moisturizing method has kept any tightness or flaking from occurring.

The Makeup Cleansing Oil has the most beautiful, silky texture and while it is ultra-gentle and nurturing on the skin, it literally melts away makeup and impurities in seconds. Curél Makeup Cleansing OilIt contains liquorish root extract and glycerin for a super gentle cleanse that leaves skin impeccably clean without any dryness. It works as hard as the cleansing oil and gel to boost ceramides and protect the skin barrier. It’s beautiful. Curél Double Moisturising

The Intensive Moisture Facial Cream features the same benefits as the Moisture Facial Milk but in a cream formula. It's lightweight and nongreasy, yet it grips the skin in a way that feels nourishing. I loved that it dries down but still feel like a veil of moisture on the skin. I use it in the morning, before applying SPF, and at night as the last step in my routine.

Curél have three absolutely beautiful cleansing products that are all formulated to protect the skin’s natural ceramides and be extra gentle. There are two options for the first cleanse and one for the second cleanse. Curél Makeup Cleansing Oil (1st Cleanse) If you have worried that facial washes can be too stripping on the skin, you can worry no longer with the Curél one. It is literally like a soft and creamy cloud hugging the skin! Curél Foaming Facial Wash If you tend to favour a cleansing balm over a cleansing oil, this one could be for you. I tend to just see what I fancy on the day! Foaming Facial Wash (2nd Cleanse) Curél's skin care system begins with a double cleanse, which has been practiced in Japan for centuries. The first step of a double cleansing routine usually consists of an oil-based cleanser that removes makeup and other unwanted elements from the surface of the skin. Curél is a Japanese skincare brand that pioneered some of the first developments in ceramide-based skincare with over thirty years of research.

Curél's Hydrating Water Essence features glycerin and hydrogenated castor oil, which help with keeping skin plump and nourished. As a humectant, glycerin "draws moisture into the superficial layers of the skin from the outside environment and from deeper layers of the skin," while hydrogenated castor oil "functions as both a humectant and an emollient, which means that it both draws moisture into the skin and traps it there by occlusion, preventing evaporation of moisture from the skin," explains Marcus. I think this is my favourite option because I love a richer texture especially for night time, or as we move into colder weather. Curél Moisture Facial Cream

When it comes to cleansers, the term "oil" might be off-putting or conjure visions of clogged pores and rampant breakouts. The truth is, though, "every skin type can benefit from cleansing oils — even oily," says pro makeup artist Tati Westbrook. It may sound counterintuitive, but this facial cleanser type combines with the oils on your skin and in your makeup, breaking them down so they're actually easier to remove, says cosmetic chemist Perry Romanowski. For the body, it gives a light layer of moisture that might be enough in the more humid months, but doesn’t feel rich enough for my desperately dry winter skin. I have to confess, I find it very hard to choose between the oil and the gel because I absolutely love oils to remove makeup and SPF from my skin and both these products have super gentle ceramide-boosting oils at their core. Curél Makeup Cleansing Oil

Formulated specifically for those with dry, sensitive skin, Curél’s facial care line is made without irritating factors like fragrance, artificial colorants or drying alcohols. It also follows Japanese skin care’s nourishing philosophy of double cleansing and double moisturizing, and consists of four daily products. Compared to the 10-step routine popularized by Korean skin care, this was a welcome change. Read on to discover my favorite products from the line, which ones to skip and how it compares to other simplified skin care. For this step we have the Curél Moisture Facial Lotion Enrich. Moisture Facial Lotion Enrich (1st Moisturising Step) I massage it on to dry skin, all over my face and eyes, and you can see everything breaking down instantly. With a splash of water, the oil emulsifies into a luxurious milk that rinses away effortlessly and leaves skin feeling free from impurities, soft, smooth and hydrated. Makeup Cleansing Gel (1st Cleanse) The Foaming Facial Wash is Curél's second cleansing step, and it converted me into a foam cleanser stan. I've been a double cleanser for years but have always opted for a gel cleanser as my second face wash. Those would sometimes leave my face feeling tight afterward, which indicates dryness. This cleanser, however, features pillowy soft foam that stays plush and light as you lather it on and leaves skin feeling refreshed and hydrated when you rinse it off.

Pharmacy product

This is the lightest moisturising option and great for anyone with normal to dry skin types. It has a light milky texture, with ceramide-replenishing power. Curél Moisture Facial Milk Curél follows its double cleansing system with double moisturizing too. This first moisturizing step is called a lotion or essence in Japan and it is super lightweight. "We actually would lump Japanese essences and toners in a similar category," say Fu and Lu. "They often come with water-loving hydrators called humectants like glycerin and glycols to add some base-level hydration for skin."
