Curel’s specially developed sensitive-skin repair technology ingredient: ceramide functional substance. Added in a sufficient amount to moisturize and soothe; supplements the skin’s ceramide function; helps keep the skin barrier replenished and stable; and helps defend against dryness and irritation from external factors.

Dual soothing ingredients: Japanese arborvitae branch extract and allantoin. Japanese arborvitae plant extract plus allantoin. The Japanese arborvitae is a plant native to East Asia with strong vitality; its extract can effectively soothe the skin.
