As someone with sensitive skin that tends to break out easily, finding gentle yet effective skincare products is like finding a needle in a haystack. But boy, did Curél come through and it has truly won me over. The Foaming Facial Wash is like a cloud in a bottle! The foamy consistency makes it incredibly easy to lather onto the skin, and feels like a luxurious, deep cleanse. Unlike other cleansers, it didn't irritate or strip my skin of its natural moisture. Instead, it left my skin feeling soft, airy, and refreshed. The best part? There's no overpowering artificial smell or fragrance. The Facial Cream was a game-changer for me. The texture is just perfect – not too thick or thin. Finding a moisturiser that doesn't feel heavy or greasy is a challenge, especially in Singapore where it is so hot and humid. But Curél got it right. The Facial Cream glides on smoothly and effortlessly, leaving my skin feeling nourished and hydrated. There’s also a very subtle and pleasant scent that adds an extra touch of joy to my skincare routine. Here's a little tip: Don't forget to apply it to areas that tend to get dry, like your elbows and hands. I often apply a little more of the Facial Cream on my hands, leaving it velvety soft without any sticky or oily feeling. Now, let's talk about the results. Despite being on my period, I have noticed fewer breakouts than usual. And even when I did have a few pesky blemishes, they calmed down more quickly than they typically would. I now woke up in the morning feeling confident with smooth and refreshed skin. As someone who is usually sceptical about trying new products due to my sensitive skin, I have not experienced any irritation or adverse reactions – just pure skincare bliss. The Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream have become my go-to skincare duo and an essential part of my daily routine.

I have naturally dry skin and the humid weather in Singapore worsens my skin condition. When I apply foundation or concealer, my skin will sometimes turn red (especially around the t-zone area). This causes a vicious cycle where I need makeup to hide my flaws but the makeup worsens my skin condition. But I am happy to report that in just two weeks of using the Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream, there have been tremendous changes in my skin. Nowadays, I barely wear foundation! The Foaming Facial Wash does a very good job of cleansing my face. I wear makeup almost every day and yet it makes my skin feel clear and smooth! I especially love the Facial Cream – I even recommend it to my friends because it does not feel sticky upon application and glides very smoothly, even on dry skin. One of the ingredients I was most impressed by is glycerin. Previous moisturisers I used did not have this key ingredient and I can now tell how important glycerin is. It is incredibly effective in maintaining moisture levels in the skin barrier and treating dry skin. Another key ingredient that is important is allantoin. After some research, I’ve found that it is a natural ingredient that can soften dry skin and promote wound healing. When I first started using Curél, I was surprised that the cracks on my skin did not sting after application compared to other products I used previously.

I have super sensitive skin that can flare up really badly when I use the wrong product – causing redness, itchiness and swelling. That's why I’ve always been sceptical to try out new products. I decided to give Curél a shot as it is said to be suitable for sensitive Asian skin, and is also alcohol-, fragrance- and colorant-free. It is also clinically tested on sensitive skin – a huge factor to push me to try. After using the Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream for two weeks, my skin has become significantly calmer, while feeling smoother and a lot cleaner too. I love the texture of the Foaming Facial Wash as it can never be found else where. I’ve tried so many different products and have never come across such gentle foam. Two pumps are enough to thoroughly cleanse away any dirt and leave my skin feeling dewy and comfortable . I have combination skin that is oily, sensitive, and acne prone. So having a lightweight moisturiser in my routine is absolutely essential. The Facial Cream is one of the lightest moisturiser I’ve ever tried. It is non sticky, which is a huge plus point. This cream not only makes my skin calm but also reduces the redness. I can easily apply my sunscreen without worrying about it being oily or greasy. It is intensely moisturising yet feels airy-light on skin. I think the star ingredient – ceramide – makes these products a hit. Ceramides penetrate the skin to improve skin barrier but also help to hydrates and retain the moisture.

My skin type is dry and sensitive, which makes it difficult to find suitable products to use. Some products even caused me to break out into hives. This was especially so during the pandemic, when I wore masks all the time. Unlike my previous cleanser, which dried me out and caused my cheeks and forehead to be slightly flakey, the Curél Foaming Facial Wash felt like a treat to my sensitive skin. I can rub the cleanser on my skin effortlessly (without any tugging or pulling). I particularly enjoyed the subtle scent, which is unique compared to other sensitive skin products on the market. After using the cleanser, I will then use a toner followed by Curél's Facial Cream. This moisturiser feels lovely on my skin – it has a non-sticky formula that glides on smoothly without leaving an oily/greasy feeling. This is very important to me as I will usually apply make-up immediately after a moisturiser. The slight red bumps on my chin have reduced since I started using the Facial Cream and my skin did not experience any flakes or itchiness at all. I have also noticed that my skin stays more plump and hydrated compared to other moisturisers I’ve used in the past. Overall, I enjoyed testing these Curél products and I highly recommend them to individuals with sensitive skin or eczema.

I have suffered from eczema since birth and often deal with skin redness and acne. Hence, my skin is very sensitive and I am very cautious about the skincare products. If I use any product that contains harsh chemicals or fragrances, I will break out and experience irritation. Curél has become a god-send ever since I started testing the Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream. I absolutely love how gentle they are on my skin. Other cleansers tend to irritate my skin, causing redness and stinging. But Foaming Facial Wash thoroughly cleanses my face without leaving any irritation or that dreaded tightness. The Facial Cream is exactly what my dry skin needs – it soothes any irritation, redness and even the flaky spots on my face have become a lot smoother now. After applying the Facial Cream in the morning, my skin still feels soft and dewy hours later, even if I’ve been in an air-conditioned room for the whole day. Will I continue to use the Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream? Definitely! Compared to other skincare brands I’ve used in the past, Curél’s moisturising capabilities are far superior. For all the girls out there with eczema, I highly recommend Curél!

My skin has always been dry and sensitive. I typically have dry patches on my face here and there, due to the weather and an inconsistent skincare routine. I have tried other brands of moisturisers but they didn't help with my dry patches. Since using the Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream for 14 days straight, my skin now feels much smoother and it is easier to apply makeup! The foam texture of the Foaming Facial Wash is so unique and smooth, making it so easy and enjoyable to cleanse my face. As for the Facial Cream, it feels so light but certainly packs a punch when it comes to moisturising my dry skin. Even hours after application, my face feels bouncy, soft, and dewy. I even like to apply the Facial Cream to soothe the red, itchy patches on my neck, which sometimes flares up when I perspire. After two weeks of testing the products, I can feel my skin improving in terms of smoothness. Although dry patches still come up from time to time, it feels like the Curél products have strengthened my skin and given it a solid moisturiser barrier against irritation and other skin stressors. I'm confident my skin will continue to improve with continued use. I am impressed by the glycerin, which is found in the products, as well as cyclopentasiloxane, which gives my skin a silky, smooth feel.

My skin used to flare up with eczema on certain parts of my face such as my eyelids. I have tried other products for sensitive skin. However, the dry skin patches would improve only for a week and then will always come back. I decided to give Curél a try after seeing positive reviews about it, and I am pleased to see good results after using the Intensive Moisture Care Facial Wash and Facial Cream. I love how light and gentle the Facial Wash is. It comes out as a bouncy foam so I can easily spread it evenly across my face. The Facial Cream has a creamy, non-watery texture so it absorbs deep into my skin for a long-lasting effect. Other moisturisers I used in the past would sometimes cause a stinging sensation if it got too close to my eyes. But I can now apply the Facial Cream onto my eyelids without any irritation or worry that it would drip into my eyes. I'm impressed as this experience is so different from other products I've tried before. Having seen visible and effective improvements to my skin, I will definitely consider repurchasing these Curél products.My skin is now eczema-free and has a radiant bounce to it as I go about my day.

I have eczema and very dry skin that is very sensitive to products and make-up, especially around my cheeks and upper lip area. When the weather gets too hot or too humid, my upper lip tends to get itchy and flaky. I have tried many products and many of them caused my skin to flare up or become sensitised. At times, I've had to resort to using steroid creams to soothe my troubled skin. I started using Curel Foaming Facial Wash and Facial cream on a daily basis for two weeks. I have seen great improvements with less flaky patches. Even my upper lip is healing slowly. The Foaming Facial Wash has a foamy texture, cleanses well and doesn't leave the skin feeling dry after cleansing. Even when my eczema flares up, it does not sting or irritate my skin. I was also pleased with the Facial Cream; it is not oily and not too heavy. I apply it right after washing my face and it helps to keep my face moisturised for the whole day. I love that Curél products are hypoallergenic and fragrance free. Thanks to the light textures, my face absorbs the cream easily and does not cause any sensitivity. Unlike the numerous steps I would take previously, my skin care routine is now only two steps and my skin feels nice and moist. I would definitely repurchase these products.

On a daily basis, I suffer from redness, itchiness, and dry skin, which becomes flaky when I put on make-up. All these issues could be caused by unhealthy sleeping habits, the hot weather and a hormonal imbalance. I have tried other brands in the past (such as Fenty Skin, Innisfree and Etude) but they did not work well to ease my skin issues. That changed after trying out Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream for two weeks. I like the soft and light texture of the Foaming Facial Wash; it glides easily and does not feel harsh on my face. I apply the Facial Cream immediately after cleansing. I love that it does not have an oily feeling and absorbs well into my skin when lightly tapped. I really enjoyed using these two products, which have greatly reduced the flaky and red patches around my face. After finding out that Curél products contain ceramide (which helps skin in retaining moisture and protect the outside irritants), I now understand how the products help improve and strengthen my skin. I break out quite often, but after using Curél products, big and sore pimples have greatly reduced. I will definitely repurchase the Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream, and I look forward to trying out different products by Curél to continually improve my skin condition.

I have tried numerous skincare brands over the years to cope with my acne-prone skin, but it was a hit-and-miss experience. Some products were able to reduce my pimples but they were too drying and strong – thus compromising my skin barrier and causing my skin to flake. I knew I needed gentle yet effective products which is why I decided to try Curél. And after two weeks of testing, I can safely say that the Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream will become staples in my everyday skincare routine. The Foaming Facial Wash does its job effectively – my face feels clean but not too dry or tight. The cushion-like foam is an added treat as it feels gentle against my sensitive skin. After cleansing, I immediately apply the Facial Cream onto damp skin. Despite the thick, white texture, the lightweight cream melts quickly into my skin and leaves a soft, velvety veil. While the Curél products are not specifically formulated to target acne, I have noticed that I break out less often and my skin looks smoother after two weeks of testing. When I use salicylic acid (for my pimples) together with the Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream, my acne scars have lightened considerably and I now sport a brighter, healthier complexion. I’ve also noticed less flaking and my skin feels calmer – no more redness or stinging after applying any skincare product on my face.

As someone who has battled skin sensitivities for years, I understand the struggle of dealing with redness, breakouts, and acne. My active lifestyle and combination skin have made finding suitable skincare products challenging. I have tried numerous types of products from Korean and Western brands but to no avail. However, in the past two weeks, the Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream have proven to be a game-changer for my combination sensitive skin. What got my attention about these was their gentle nature. The Foaming Facial Wash has a soft, airy texture that leaves my skin feeling refreshed without any tightness or dryness. Similarly, the Facial Cream glides smoothly onto my face, with fast absorption. Upon inspecting the ingredients, I was impressed by the presence of eucalyptus leaf extract in the Facial Cream. Eucalyptus leaf extract is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which helps to calm my easily irritated skin. Additionally, the Facial Cream also skin-similar ceramide to strengthen the skin's barrier function and retain moisture. Since incorporating the Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream into my skincare routine, I have noticed significant improvements in my complexion. The redness has visibly reduced. My skin feels supple, hydrated, and more resilient – to become a really good base so that my makeup stays put all day-long. Curél has provided me with the much-needed solution to my sensitive skin. The gentle texture of the products, impressive ingredient selection, and noticeable improvements to my sensitive skin make them a clear winner in my skincare regimen. I wholeheartedly recommend these products to anyone struggling with skin sensitivities like mine.

My skin type is combination: dry, sensitive, and oily on the t zone area. When a product is not suitable for me, my skin would typically start itching and breaking out. Recently I have been on a hunt for new skincare products as the old ones were just not suitable for me anymore. For the past two weeks, I have been using the Curél Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream cream – and I LOVE them! I am so thankful for Curél as I did not experience any itch or breakouts. I love how gentle Foaming Facial Wash is on my skin with the foam cleanser and how the Facial Cream doesn’t leave oily residue on my face. When I was in Australia for a week, the dry and cold air caused my skin to flake. Luckily, the two Curél products saved my skin – keeping it moist and dewy all day-long, while eradicating any flakiness. I would definitely repurchase these two products!

My skin tends to get easily red and tingly at the littlest of things – from my active lifestyle to the hot weather and even drinking a few sips of alcohol. It also gets very dry and flakes a bit when I’m in cold climates or exposed to the air-conditioner for long periods of time. In summary, I do have a rather sensitive skin. I've tried numerous products: French, Japanese, Korean brands… you name it. I was on a mission to find the perfect skincare fit. But after testing Curél for two weeks, I am impressed! Although subtle, the before and after photos of my skin have won me over. The Foaming Facial Wash Foam has a light and beautiful scent, while the application is not too harsh on my face. After cleansing, my skin feels clean and moist. My favourite product is the Facial Cream. My skin has improved significantly (in terms of texture and overall outlook) since I started using it. The redness has faded, even when I engage in physical activities. My face feels soft upon applying the cream – no heavy or oily feeling while wearing the cream throughout the day. I definitely plan on buying the Facial Cream again once I've run out!

I have combination and sensitive skin and have been suffering from flaky skin and redness on my face particularly on my cheeks. Some products I have used tend to aggravate my skin, leaving my skin feeling really dry and tight. Curél's Foaming Facial Wash feels so soft and light on the skin and it is really easy to lather. All you need is one pump and it goes a really long way. It cleanses my face really well and doesn't leave a sticky residue on the skin. However, I don't find it particularly moisturising perhaps because it is a foam wash. I found that I will still need to apply a moisturiser after cleansing to avoid any tightness in my skin. I found the Facial Cream surprisingly lightweight – it doesn't feel overly thick and heavy unlike some other products which I've used in the past. It gives this light glow to the complexion and makes my skin smooth, which I really like. I also like how their products are fragrance/alcohol/colourant-free and are centred around ceramide – an ingredient that helps the skin retain moisture and protects it against external irritants. After 2 weeks of testing the Curél products, I am happy with the overall results, especially the Facial Cream. Although there is still redness, my skin condition has slightly improved and is less flaky. I think the products are still worth a purchase, especially if you have dry and sensitive skin.

After using these 2 products for two weeks, I noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin, as it now feels smoother and appears brighter. The Foaming Facial Wash is gentle yet effective as it effortlessly removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities without stripping my skin or causing a stinging sensation. The cleanser envelops my skin in a refreshing foam that leaves it feeling thoroughly cleansed and revitalised. I really love how cleanser has a subtle and invigorating scent, giving a spa-like experience every time I use it. The packaging is sleek and practical too – the pump dispenser ensures hygienic usage and precise product control. The Facial Cream is an absolute delight. Its lightweight and non-greasy formula absorbs quickly into my skin to provide intense hydration without clogging pores. The moisturiser leaves my skin feeling plump and dewy throughout the day. With continued use, I've noticed a significant reduction in dry patches and a visible boost in my skin's radiance. I've had sensitive skin since young, so I have always been cautious when it comes to skincare. I am happy with the Curél Intensive Moisture Face Care range as it certainly helps keep my skin fresh and moisturised!

I often get mild redness on my cheeks and around my nose – and sometimes, flaking on my forehand. I have tried many other brands before but it did not stop the flaking, no matter how much moisturiser I put on. Throughout the two weeks of using Curél Intensive Moisture Care Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream, I have seen great improvements to my skin. The redness on my nose, cheeks, and forehead area has decreased. The flaking on my forehead did decrease too, and even when it does flake, it is not as serious as before. I love how the Facial Cream absorbs into my skin so quickly; it's lightweight and gentle too. The Facial Wash feels pillowy-soft and super gentle on my skin without leaving a tight feeling (unlike other brands' facial washes). I was impressed to find that both products are formulated with glycerin. This ingredient is something my skin desperately needs as it helps to protect against irritation and restore the skin barrier.

Although Curél products are formulated for sensitive skin, I feel that these products are very suitable for oily acne prone skin as it hydrates yet doesn't clog pores or irritate pimples. The Foaming Facial Wash is super soft and creamy. It doesn’t irritate or tug on my skin when lathering up. My face gets very oily throughout the day but the foam cleanses very gently, leaving my skin feeling soft and supple afterwards. The Facial Cream is perfect for Singapore's weather – it is a very lightweight moisturiser suitable that absorbs super quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. I do have oily skin, especially around my T-zone area but the cream doesn't emphasise the oiliness. The Facial Cream does make my skin feel very hydrated. However, I do feel that the hydration does not last too long as my skin seems to feel some dryness when I wake up in the morning. Overall, it is a great fit for humid climates here but probably not so much for drier or colder climates elsewhere.

In the past, I have tried various skincare products from thefaceshop and innisfree but most of them turned out to be unsuitable for my dry and sensitive skin. Some of them would clog my pores or make my skin even drier, causing rashes and irritation. After trying the Intensive Moisture Care Foaming Facial Wash and Facial Cream, I am amazed and happy with the changes they have made to my skin. I love the texture of the Foaming Facial Wash. After cleansing, my skin feels smooth, soft and most importantly, not dry at all. Thanks to the Facial Cream, my face feels more hydrated as days go by. Any redness has reduced, which is a pretty amazing result! I'm glad I’ve tried both products and I got the chance to participate in this trial. After finishing these products, I will certainly buy them again to maintain my skin condition.

It's hard to find the correct product for my skin. On top of my skin being sensitive, it is also sometimes too oily or too dry on different parts of my face and depending on the weather. Other products I used in the past have left a burning sensation on my face. After testing the Curél Intensive Moisture Face Care range, I am pleased with the results. The Foaming Face Wash makes my skin feel softer and bouncier, while also shrinking my pores. I tend to break out when I get stressed. But since using the Foaming Face Wash, I’ve noticed that my pimples heal faster and whiteheads come off easier. I am usually not a fan of cream moisturisers as they always make my face feel very sticky and oiler than normal. But the Facial Cream is surprisingly light with a smooth consistency. At first, I had to adjust the amount I put on my nose as it was a bit too oily. But now that I apply less, my skin feels soft and moisturised.

As a student and active athlete, I’m guilty of not properly cleansing my face at the end of the day. What’s more, Singapore’s rising temperatures make me sweat more – causing congested and blocked pores. All these have caused redness, acne, flaky patches, and itching around the sides of my face. Since I started using Curél’s Intensive Moisture Face Care range, I’ve noticed improvements in my skin condition. In the past, I’ve only used gel cleansers, which were quite heavy on my face and did not allow for much absorption. That’s why I enjoyed the Foaming Facial Wash. It was really fun to pump out and wait for the foam to fluff up. Plus, rubbing it on my face was a pleasurable experience as I could really feel my skin getting softer and smoother. The Foaming Facial Wash does the job really well by cleansing away all that sweat and debris from my face and hydrating my skin to prepare for another hot sweaty day ahead. Other moisturisers I’ve tried before (from LANEIGE and Drunk Elephant) were too rich and caused my skin to break out. So I was pleasantly surprised by Curél’s Facial Cream. It is very light and gentle. Unlike other moisturisers which left my skin feeling wet and damp, the Facial Cream has better absorption to give my skin a dewy finish. Throughout the day, my skin feels bouncy and elastic, and not tight or rough anymore. Two weeks on, I’ve noticed that my new Curél skincare routine has significantly reduced any itchiness. I’ve also stopped scratching and picking at my peeling skin – that means no more new scars on my face!
