Q: I’m still young; do I need Curel Age-Defying Elasticity Soothing Repair Cream? A: Dryness-related sensitivity and redness are mainly caused by a lack of ceramide, an essential skin component. A weakened skin barrier is less able to resist external environmental irritants, leading to recurring redness, dryness, and fine lines. For younger people with dry, sensitive skin, this product may help improve these concerns and provide repair care.

Q: How does Curel Age-Defying Elasticity Soothing Repair Cream differ from Curel Intensive Moisture Care Moisturizing Cream? A: The Age-Defying Elasticity Soothing Repair Cream addresses recurring redness, dryness, fine lines, and sensitivity, and offers repair and firming care alongside moisturization while strengthening the skin barrier. The Intensive Moisture Care Moisturizing Cream addresses dryness and sensitivity, helps care for the skin barrier, and moisturizes and soothes the skin.

Q: Can it be used on skin that is currently having an allergic reaction? A: Use is not recommended. Avoid using cosmetics on skin that is currently having an allergic reaction; seek medical care first and resume daily skincare after recovery.

Q: What skin concerns are the new softening lotion and repair cream mainly intended to address? A: Recurring redness, dryness, and fine lines associated with dry, sensitive skin.
