Curel Sebum Trouble Care Foaming Facial Cleanser Refill

Japan's most trusted face wash for sensitive oily skin — KAO Curel Sebum Trouble Care foam face wash addresses a particularly challenging skin type: skin that is both sensitive or barrier-compromised and prone to excess sebum and breakouts. Conventional acne or oily-skin cleansers typically use strong surfactants and salicylic acid that further damage an already vulnerable skin barrier, creating a cycle of sebum overproduction and irritation. Curel's approach is different — the Sebum Trouble Care cleanser uses mild surfactants that remove excess sebum without stripping protective ceramides, stabilising the skin barrier while still providing the pore-clearing clean that sebum-prone skin needs. The ceramide functional ingredient that defines the Curel line is present even in this cleanser, partially redepositing protective lipids during the wash step. The pre-formed foam pump dispenses a fine, dense lather requiring no additional work. Dermatologist-oriented and targeted at Japanese consumers who have tried every acne face wash and found them all too harsh.

1. Wet the face with lukewarm water.
2. Press the foam pump once to dispense a pre-formed foam cloud onto palm or directly onto face.
3. Apply with gentle circular motions — no aggressive scrubbing; the foam does the work.
4. Focus on the T-zone and chin without over-cleansing the cheek areas.
5. Rinse thoroughly with cool water; follow immediately with Curel Sebum Trouble Care toner or lotion.
