Curél is one of the most popular brands in Japan amongst people who suffer from sensitive skin issues, and it's body-care products are a favourite drugstore buy in the US. The secret behind the gentle-yet-effective formulations is the brand's proprietary ingredient that mimics our natural ceramides, which are lipids that form our skin's protective barrier and whose breakdown is what can cause dryness and sensitivity. Chock full with the synthetic ceramides, Curél products help repair our skin's protective barrier to help soothe and hydrate sensitive skin on both the face and body.
Why are we going on about all of this? Because 20 years after its creation, the brand finally comes to the UK this month. Exclusively at Boots, the brand launches with a small selection of face products: the Makeup Cleansing Gel, the Foaming Face Wash, the Moisture Facial Lotion Enrich, the Moisture Facial Milk, the Intensive Moisture Eye Zone Essence, and the Intensive Moisture Facial Cream (£19), which will be a great product to invest in as the air gets chillier and dryer.
