Description

Curel Intensive Moisture Face Cream 40g is the standard daily face cream in the Curel Moisture range for dry and sensitive skin — designed to deliver ceramide support and sustained moisture for skin that experiences chronic dryness, tightness, and barrier compromise. Using Curel's Ceramide Functional Ingredient, Eucalyptus Extract, and quasi-drug Allantoin, it is the entry-point cream in the Curel system appropriate for twice-daily face use on sensitive skin year-round.

  • Ceramide Functional Ingredient — Curel's proprietary ceramide precursor that supports the skin's own ceramide production in the stratum corneum
  • Eucalyptus Extract — penetrates to smooth roughness and maintain moisture balance within the barrier
  • Allantoin (quasi-drug active) — promotes cell renewal and heals minor skin roughness and irritation
  • Lightweight, airy texture — absorbs without heaviness or greasiness; non-comedogenic
  • 40g — standard cream size for twice-daily face use; approximately 2 months

How it works: Unlike ceramide serums that apply ceramides from outside, Curel's Ceramide Functional Ingredient supports the skin's own ceramide synthesis — encouraging the skin to produce and maintain its own barrier lipids. This inside-out ceramide approach provides sustained improvement rather than requiring continuous high-concentration topical ceramide application to maintain the same effect.

Curel Intensive Moisture Face Cream vs Curel Moisture Balm: The Intensive Moisture Face Cream is the standard twice-daily all-over face moisturiser for dry sensitive skin — appropriate lightweight cream for daily routine use. The Moisture Balm is a denser, more occlusive treatment for very dry skin or specific dry patches where the standard cream provides insufficient moisture between applications. Use the Face Cream as the daily base; add the Balm for targeted intensive zones.

Known in Japan as キュレル 潤浸保湿 フェイスクリーム 40g.

Key Ingredients

  • Ceramide Functioning Ingredient: Mimics natural skin lipids to fill in the "cracks" in the skin barrier.
  • Eucalyptus Extract: Boosts the skin's own ability to produce ceramides internally.
  • Allantoin: A powerful anti-inflammatory agent that calms itching and redness.
  • Squalane: A lightweight emollient that prevents moisture evaporation.

HOW TO USE

  1. After applying your lotion (toner), take a grape-sized amount of cream.
  2. Gently spread across the face, moving from the center outwards.
  3. Lightly press with your palms to aid absorption through the heat of your hands.

Pro Tip: If you have extremely dry patches, apply a second thin layer specifically to those areas before bed.

FAQ

Is Curel Face Cream suitable for very sensitive skin?
It is developed specifically for sensitive skin and focuses on gentle hydration and comfort.

Can this cream help with dryness and tight skin?
It is designed to maintain moisture and improve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Is it heavy or greasy on the skin?
No, it has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy finish.

Is this cream too light for very dry skin?
While it feels light and airy, it is an "Intensive" formula. It provides more deep-layer hydration than many thick, heavy balms because of how efficiently the ceramides penetrate the skin.

Can I use this under makeup?
Absolutely. Its non-greasy, fast-absorbing finish makes it one of the best primers for foundation, preventing "cakeiness" on dry areas.

Is it safe for those with eczema or rosacea?
Curel is specifically formulated for "dry, sensitive skin" and is allergy-tested. However, we always recommend a patch test if you have active medical skin conditions.

Does it contain any alcohol?
No, this formula is completely alcohol-free (no ethyl alcohol), making it safe for those who find traditional moisturizers too drying or irritating.

Curel Face Cream vs Hada Labo Cream — which should I choose?
Curel focuses on sensitive skin and ceramide care, while Hada Labo focuses more on hyaluronic acid hydration; choose based on your skin needs.

How to identify original Curel cream and avoid fake products?
Authentic products have proper Japanese packaging and consistent quality; Tokyo Shelf ensures direct-from-Tokyo sourcing, fresh stock, and authentic Japan version, reducing counterfeit risk.
