Curél

I've done an experiment comparing it with a cleansing oil. It does remove general makeup well though it may take slightly longer to do so. The ingredient list also seems good though the moisturizing effects would be gone if you don't pair it with an equally gentle face wash ~ experiment info: bit.ly/2PjrtxM. Here are the other pros and cons based on my experience: What's Great? 1. Contains lots of moisturizing ingredients 2. Suit dry skin type if paired with a gentle foaming cleanser 3. Reasonably-priced What's Bad? 1. Takes longer to remove makeup 2. Low quantity 3. Depletes quickly 4. Gets unpresentable quickly 5. Less travel-friendly 6. Stings the eyes You can read full review and product recommendation at http://bit.ly/2PjrtxM. Hope this would help someone in her Japan beauty purchase

This is a review for the Itch Defense variation of this product. I have eczema patches on my elbows and feet, and my body skin (particularly my legs) can be very dry and itchy. My skin can be very itchy, dry, and tight within minutes of exiting the shower. I have tried baby oil to try to keep my skin hydrated, but it caused irritation, itching, and bumps. I bought this product, not really sure what to expect, particularly because it also has mineral oil. I've used this with every shower for the past week, and my skin feels hydrated as soon as it goes on. That tight, dry feeling doesn't transpire. I pat dry and follow with a body cream and my skin stays hydrated. You might be able to scoot by without body cream if you use this, but I was not willing to try with my history. I have not had irriation or bumps, and my skin is not itchy. I am really surprised and pleased that a wet skin moisturizer is so effective. A little goes a long way, and the pump makes it easy to wok with in the shower. Do not rinse this off or rub your towel on your skin to wipe this off. Put this on wet skin, and then pat dry with your towel. Follow up with your moisturizer.

I was initially using the Cerave body lotion and liked it but not the price for the amount of product you get for the money. It’s not a very big bottle for $14. I knew I wanted an alternative that had ceramides since I get bouts of eczema so I was led to Curel. I have to say I enjoy this more than Cerave. It has a nicer consistency (Cerave was kind of thin and watery), I like the pleasant subtle orange scent it has even though there’s no added fragrance and you get a lot more product for less money. I apply this to my face and body right when I get out of the shower and while my skin is still damp. It soaks right in and is not oily at all. Will continue to repurchase!
