Description

Curel Foaming Facial Wash 150ml is a ceramide-preserving foam cleanser for dry and sensitive skin that experiences tightness, stinging, or flakiness after washing — the only foam cleanser in Curel's pharmaceutical skincare range, dispensed as pre-formed foam from an instant-pump bottle to eliminate the friction of hand-lathering on sensitised skin. It is the appropriate cleanser for any Curel routine and for skin that reacts to standard foam cleansers.

  • Ceramide Care technology — maintains the skin's ceramide-containing lipid layer during washing, preventing the barrier stripping that causes post-wash tightness
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate — medicated anti-inflammatory that suppresses irritation during the cleansing process
  • Sodium Lauroyl Aspartate — amino acid-based surfactant that provides thorough cleansing at skin-compatible pH
  • Instant pre-formed foam — eliminates hand-lathering and reduces friction on sensitised skin
  • Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, colorant-free
  • 150ml — standard size; the pump dispenses a consistent foam density each use

How it works: Standard foam cleansers use alkaline surfactants (SLS/SLES) that temporarily disrupt the skin's acid mantle and emulsify the ceramide-containing lipid layer — this is the mechanism behind post-wash tightness. Curel's amino acid surfactant system at skin-compatible pH cleans without this lipid disruption, and the Ceramide Care ingredients actively protect barrier lipids during the brief cleansing contact. For skin that currently tightens after washing, switching to this cleanser alone can improve the baseline barrier condition within 2–4 weeks.

Curel foam wash vs Minon Amino Moist Gentle Wash for sensitive skin: Both are amino acid-based cleansers for sensitive skin. Curel uses its proprietary Ceramide Care technology targeting barrier preservation alongside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate anti-inflammatory. Minon uses 9+2 moisture amino acids for NMF support. For eczema-prone or atopic skin, Curel's barrier-ceramide focus is the more targeted choice. For sensitive skin without atopic tendency, either works equally well.

Known in Japan as キュレル 泡洗顔料 150ml.

Key Ingredients
  • Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate: A powerful medicinal agent derived from licorice root to suppress inflammation and soothe itchiness.
  • Ethylhexylglycerin: A gentle humectant that provides antimicrobial benefits while keeping the skin soft.
  • Sodium Lauroyl Aspartate: An amino-acid based surfactant that cleanses the skin with a near-zero irritation profile.
  • PEG-150: Ensures the foam maintains its cushiony shape throughout the entire 60-second wash.
  • Free-from: Fragrance, Colorants, Alcohol (Ethanol-free), and Parabens.

HOW TO USE
  1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.
  2. Dispense 2 full pumps of foam into your palm—do not lather manually.
  3. Apply the foam to your face and gently press/massage using the "cushion" of the bubbles.
  4. Rinse thoroughly until the skin feels clean but still soft.

Pro Tip: For extremely sensitive days, let the foam sit on the face for 30 seconds as a "soothing mask" before rinsing.

FAQ

Can Curel Foaming Wash remove waterproof makeup?
This is a "Second Step" water-based cleanser. While it removes sweat, dust, and light oil, it is not designed to break down waterproof mascara or heavy foundation. We recommend using Curel Makeup Cleansing Gel before this wash for a complete routine.

Is this safe for teenagers or children with sensitive skin?
Yes, because it is pH-balanced, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free, it is one of the safest daily washes available in Japan for young, developing skin barriers or those suffering from hormonal sensitivity.

What is the difference between the 150ml Bottle and the Refill?
The 150ml bottle includes the specialized foaming pump required to create the dense lather. Once you have the bottle, you can purchase the eco-friendly 130ml refills to reduce plastic waste and save on costs.

How does this compare to Hada Labo Gokujyun Foam?
Hada Labo is excellent for adding moisture (Hyaluronic Acid), but Curel is superior for protecting the skin (Ceramide Care). If your skin is just dry, Hada Labo is great; if your skin is dry and easily irritated or red, Curel is the better choice.

Is this a "Soap-Free" cleanser?
Yes, this is a synthetic detergent (syndet) bar in liquid form, meaning it uses mild amino-acid surfactants rather than harsh alkaline soap salts, which is why it doesn't strip the skin.

How do I identify a fake vs. authentic Curel and how does TokyoShelf provide authentic versions?
Authentic Curel features a very specific "click" on the pump and matte-finish packaging with clear, embossed text. Fakes often have a shiny bottle and a watery foam that collapses instantly. At TokyoShelf, we source sourced fresh from Tokyo pharmaceutical wholesalers to guarantee the 2026 Ceramide-Care formula.
