Do you know that excess sebum can aggravate skin sensitivity? A lot of people who have both conditions – skin sensitivity and oily skin tend to place more emphasis on choosing products that help with their skin sensitivity. This is not enough. Excess sebum generated will deteriorate as skin gets more alkaline, turning into irritants to cause flare-ups within the skin layers. Hence it is important to choose products that effectively control skin sensitivity while reducing sebum secretion from the source. Curél, Japan’s No. 1 brand for sensitive Asian skin, introduces a new skincare range specially formulated for sensitive and oily or combination skin types. The Curél Sebum Care range - comprising a Foaming Wash, Lotion and Moisture Gel - offers the skincare essentials to properly manage both skin sensitivity and sebum secretion. A trusted skincare brand in Japan developed from over 30 years of dermatological research and endorsed by over 4,000 dermatologists in Japan and Asia, Curél provides complete protection and frees people from sensitive skin woes with its advanced ceramide care technology. Directions: After removal of makeup, Foaming Wash -> Lotion -> Moisture Gel Product benefits: Every day after usage, skin will be kept in matt condition for 8 hours. In 4 weeks, skin sensitivity and excess sebum will be under control. Hypoallergenic Formula for Oily, Sensitive Skin · Allergy* tested · Ethyl alcohol free · Fragrance free · Colorant free · pH closest to skin · Non comedogenic (does not clog pores) · Patch tested# on sensitive skin sufferers *There is no skin allergic reactions amongst the participants of the test #Patch test is to measure the degree of skin irritation Dual function for sensitive and oily skin 1. Strengthen skin barrier function to protect skin against external irritants Protects and replenishes ceramide, an essential component of skin, for a more resilient barrier. 2. Oil and acne control Regulate sebum secretion at the source. Curél Sebum Care Foaming Wash (150ml), $19.80 Ultra fine foam with sebum solvent to thoroughly cleanse dirt and excess sebum while protectng ceramide. Usage: 1. Apply two full pumps directly onto wet skin. 2. Do not lather. 3. Gentle massage and rinse off thoroughly. Even though, it says fragrance free, the foam smell comes out very strong and I'm personally not a fan of that smell.. Curél Sebum Care Lotion (150ml), $24.90 Non-sticky formula prepares skin for better absorption of moisturiser / essence that is used after the lotion. Usage: 1. After cleansing, apply lotion gently over the whole face. 2. Apply twice daily, in the morning and at night. The lotion is very light-weight and refreshing and I find it easier to absorb than the moisture gel, particularly because I only apply a small amount that is enough for my whole face. Curél Sebum Care Moisture Gel (120ml), $34.90 Liquid based gel spreads easily for speedy absorption into deeper layers of skin without leaving skin sticky. Usage: 1. Apply three to four pumps gently over the entire face 2. Apply twice daily, in the morning and at night. The gel was harder and take a longer time to absorb personally for me. Causes of sensitive and oily skin Cause of sensitive skin: Lack of ceramide Ceramide is THE essential ingredient in skin as it replenishes and helps retain moisture, strengthening the skin’s resilience as a natural barrier against external irritants. The lack of ceramide weakens this natural barrier, causing skin to be more susceptible to irritants. Cause of oily skin: Excess sebum secretion Diet and changes in hormone levels can lead to excess sebum secretion. Not only does this result in unwanted oily shine on the face, excess sebum on skin that is not thoroughly removed can be damaging to the skin as well. Further aggravation of skin sensitivity: Disintegration of excess sebum on skin Healthy skin has a pH level of 5.5. When the pH level of skin changes, excess sebum disintegrates into an irritating substance that penetrates into the skin and causes skin sensitivity from within. When the skin’s barrier function is weakened due to the lack of ceramide, it will be even more susceptible to the damage from disintegrated sebum. Curél Sebum Care's dual function to control sensitivity and sebum One: Strengthening skin barrier function Understanding the importance of ceramide in skin, Curél has made ceramide the key ingredient for all its products. Its hydrating and penetrating moisture-retaining ceramide care is widely recognised by dermatologists in Japan and Asia. Apart from effectively restoring ceramide function in skin, Curél Sebum Care range also protects the skin’s natural ceramide while cleansing, effectively replenishes ceramide and retains moisture. When skin stays supple and fully moisturised, it is better protected against external irritants. Two: Oil and acne control Using one of the main ingredients found in royal jelly (10-hydroxydecanoic acid) that is known for its inhibitory effect on excess sebum secretion, Curél developed its unique sebum zero-in control technology, which targets and regulates sebum excretion from deep within the skin to control the root of the problem. Curél Sebum Care range is also specially formulated to re-balance skin at its optimal pH level, preventing sebum from disintegration. Infused with antiphlogistic, an active ingredient that relieves inflammation, the range helps prevent the occurrence of acne as well. The Foaming Wash effectively removes excess sebum without irritating the skin as the lathered foam cushion against rubbing and tugging on the skin during cleansing.
Together with the Lotion and Moisture Gel, the three products work hand-hand to protect, replenish, and retain the skin's natural ceramide to maintain the skin's barrier function. The Lotion and Moisture Gel also help to control and reduce sebum secretion. Curél Sebum Care range is available in Singapore at selected Guardian and Watson’s stores from 16 June. Prices range from S$19.80 to S$34.90. For more information, please visit http://web.kao.com/sg/curel/ or https://www.facebook.com/Curel.SG.
