Curel Makeup Cleansing Gel for Dry Sensitive Skin — 4.5 oz Waterproof Makeup Remover, pH-Balanced Ceramide Care

Curel Japanese Skin Care Makeup Cleansing Gel is a gentle, pH-balanced gel that removes waterproof makeup and impurities while preserving natural ceramides and hydration.

This lightweight gel is the first step in a Japanese double-cleansing routine: it dissolves makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum and surface impurities so your second cleanser can purify without over-drying. Formulated fragrance- and colorant-free, the cleanser was designed for dry, sensitive skin and aims to protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier while clearing pores and reducing the chance of clogged follicles.

How does this gel remove waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation?

The cleansing gel emulsifies oil-based cosmetics so they lift away cleanly with a gentle massage and rinse. It is designed to break down stubborn pigments without harsh rubbing, minimizing irritation around the delicate eye area.

• Dissolves waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation on contact
• Massages into skin to release makeup from pores
• Rinses away without leaving oily residue

Will it strip moisture from dry, sensitive skin?

No — the formula is pH-balanced and includes ceramide-supporting ingredients to help protect the skin’s natural barrier. Because it’s fragrance- and colorant-free, it reduces the common triggers of irritation while removing impurities.

• Ceramide protection helps maintain skin hydration
• Fragrance- and colorant-free to minimize sensitivity
• Gentle gel texture avoids aggressive surfactants

How do I use it within a double-cleansing routine?

Use this cleansing gel as Step 1: apply to dry or slightly damp skin and massage until makeup dissolves, then rinse. Follow with a gentle foaming cleanser or the recommended Curel Foaming Face Wash for a deeper clean without stripping moisture.

• Apply a small pump to dry or damp hands
• Gently massage into face, eyes, and hairline to lift makeup
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with a second cleanser

What skin concerns does it help address?

The gel targets surface impurities and excess sebum while guarding against pore blockage that can lead to breakouts. Its mild formulation is tailored for people who need effective makeup removal but cannot tolerate strong fragranced or colorant-heavy cleansers.

• Removes makeup and surface sebum that can clog pores
• Protects the skin’s ceramide barrier to support moisture retention
• Helps reduce irritation risk for reactive or dry complexions

Who is this for: Curel Japanese Makeup Cleansing Gel is suitable for anyone with dry, sensitive or combination skin seeking an effective yet mild first-step makeup remover. It’s a good choice for users who wear waterproof or long-wear cosmetics, those who follow a double-cleansing routine, and anyone who prefers fragrance- and colorant-free skincare formulated to support the skin’s natural barrier.

• Features: pH balanced, fragrance-free, colorant-free
• Best paired with Curel Foaming Face Wash as Step 2
• Net weight: 4.5 oz (sized for daily use)
