Skin care that protects and replenishes ceramide

Curél's “hydrating and penetrating moisture-retaining ceramide care*” effectively replenishes ceramide, an essential ingredient that sensitive skin lacks. It boosts your skin's natural barrier function and protects it from external irritation.

Ceramide care has 3 key functions: it protects skin's ceramide during cleansing, replenishes ceramide function from the outside, and enhances ceramide production from within. This helps to strengthen skin's natural barrier function that is weakened by constant dryness. Skin is effectively hydrated and moisture-dense.
Curél's highly effective “Hydrating and Penetrating Moisture-retaining Ceramide Care” is widely recognized by leading Japanese dermatologists.

* Refers to the treatment that protects and replenishes the function of ceramide.

Curél Foaming Wash is mildly acidic and gentle on skin. It protects ceramide while thoroughly cleansing skin.

2. Curél’s unique ceramide functioning ingredient replenishes ceramide in skin by enabling sufficient ceramide to fill up areas between skin cells to prevent moisture loss.


Curél's ceramide functioning ingredient penetrates deep inside the stratum corneum, where skin dryness originates. It helps to boost moisture density from within, restoring skin's barrier function. Skin becomes moisture-dense and resistant to external irritants.
