Curel foam face wash for oily-yet-sensitive skin — ceramide-protected cleanse that won't strip the barrier.
About this product
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.
How to use
- Wet the face with lukewarm water.
- Press the foam pump once to dispense a pre-formed foam cloud onto palm or directly onto face.
- Apply with gentle circular motions — no aggressive scrubbing; the foam does the work.
- Focus on the T-zone and chin without over-cleansing the cheek areas.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water; follow immediately with Curel Sebum Trouble Care toner or lotion.

FAQ
Is this suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes — formulated for oily-yet-sensitive skin prone to breakouts; does not contain harsh acne actives that further irritate sensitive skin.
Does it contain salicylic acid?
No — Curel avoids aggressive acne actives in favour of barrier-first approach.
How is this different from regular Curel foam cleanser?
Sebum Trouble Care targets excess oil as well as barrier repair; standard Curel foam is for general sensitive/dry skin.
Is it appropriate for atopic skin with oiliness?
Yes — the ceramide protection makes it one of the safest options for atopy-prone but sebum-active skin.
Can teenagers use it?
Yes — appropriate for teen acne-prone sensitive skin.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
Many Filipino women with combination-to-oily skin have damaged their barrier through years of harsh whitening cleansers or salicylic acid strips, leaving them with a contradictory problem: skin that is simultaneously oily and sensitised — exactly the skin type KAO Curel Sebum Trouble Care targets.
This foam face wash protects the ceramide barrier that conventional acne cleansers destroy, while still addressing the excess sebum and breakout tendency typical in Filipino skin in tropical heat — a clinically balanced approach unavailable in local drugstore acne washes.
