Tsujimoto Market: Our Guarantees
Description
Curél Sebum Trouble Care Foaming Wash by Kao is a Japanese quasi-drug (医薬部外品) face cleanser made for skin that gets oily and breaks out but still reacts badly to harsh products. It dispenses as a ready-made, fine foam that lifts excess sebum and pore debris while leaving the skin's own ceramides in place, with dipotassium glycyrrhizinate to calm the conditions that lead to breakouts. Fragrance-free, colorant-free, and shipped directly from Japan.
Key benefits
- ✓ Removes excess sebum and pore grime without stripping the skin's natural ceramides — the reason most anti-acne washes leave teen skin tight and flaky
- ✓ Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (active ingredient) helps prevent acne and rough, irritated skin
- ✓ Comes out as a soft, ready-whipped foam — no rubbing, no scrub particles, no lathering step
- ✓ Fragrance-free, colorant-free, low-irritation formula developed for sensitive skin
- ✓ Authentic Japanese product — ships direct from Japan

Who is this for?
Recommended for teenagers and adults with oily or combination skin that breaks out. Ideal if you have tried strong acne cleansers and found they made your skin tight, red or flaky — this one is built around Curél's sensitive-skin ceramide philosophy rather than aggressive degreasing. Also suitable for anyone with an oily T-zone who wants a simple, unscented daily wash. Because the foam comes out ready to use and needs no lathering, it works well as a first "proper" cleanser for younger skin.
How to use
Step 1. Wet your face with lukewarm water — not hot.
Step 2. Press the pump twice into your palm. The foam is ready to use; do not whip it further.
Step 3. Spread it over your face and massage very lightly with your fingertips. Let the foam do the work — no scrubbing.
Step 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Amount: 2 pump presses. Frequency: morning and evening.
Tip: Do not press the pump while water is running directly onto it. Follow with a light, oil-free toner — skin that is left dry after cleansing tends to produce more sebum, not less.

FAQ
Q: My child is 12 and just starting to break out. Is this suitable?
A: Yes. There is no minimum age on the label, and this is one of the gentler options sold in Japanese pharmacies — no scrub particles, no fragrance, no alcohol sting. Younger skin is easily over-cleansed, so twice a day is enough.
Q: Will it dry my skin out?
A: It is formulated specifically to avoid that. Curél's whole line is built around not stripping ceramides, so it removes sebum while leaving the skin barrier intact. Follow with a light toner anyway.
Q: Is this the same product sold in Japanese drugstores?
A: Yes — identical Kao domestic packaging, JAN 4901301264336. We buy in Japan and ship from Japan, so you receive the Japanese-market formula, not a regional export version.
Q: Can I use it with other acne products?
A: Yes. It is designed as the cleansing step, so it layers fine under a toner and a spot treatment. Introduce one new product at a time so you can tell what your skin is reacting to.
Q: How long does one bottle last?
A: At two presses twice a day, roughly six to eight weeks.
Q: Will I pay customs on this?
A: It depends on your country's rules and order value. Import duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility; we ship from Japan with full tracking so you can follow the parcel throughout.
